I'm leaning the same way,

I feed plants gaia greens ( via top feed) , with kelp and worm castings.

But I want to add silicone .... I cannot find any " organic " ways to get silicone into the soil.... Unless you gents do?

From NPKs website "RAW Silica contains 45% Silicon Dioxide which is the highest concentration of silicon dioxide available to the home gardener"

What do you guys think? ( sorry off topic )

Hello Gromies.

I have a plant, just started 3rd week of veg.

Soil is 70% pro-mix 30% fertilizer / amendments

So far I feed her 32 oz every 3-4 days.

First time trying Organic / Living Soil. Seems to retain alot of water . Everywhere online has a different answer. Usually going with if its dry finger tip in, then its ready for water. But this stays moist ...

I heard if you grind up your old roots, they will provide silica for the next plant?

If your wanting an easier life with organics, go at least 10g pots. Build A Soil recommends at least a 15g size. But that's not so convenient for some growers. I have two 20g pots in a 4x2 tent, it's doable. It will be easier in not having to water as much on the daily (when they get larger) and a larger microbial body to break down the dry amendments your feeding them. A larger fungal population underneath there as well. Growing in one gallon pots you're almost relying on some form of bottled nutrient to keep the plant happy. It's doable, you can visit the one gallon challenge thread and see all the good stuff there. Just be ready to babysit sit that pot on the daily.

Speakin of the one gallon challenge, these were the 2 I ran, the first one was the challenge plant the 2nd was… well why do one when I can do 2

And yeah late flower it’s 100% daily babysitting I was usually 2 days between waterings

These ran organic, Gaia green plus a bunch of other amendments I can list of wanted,

For watering with liquid neuts, in flower, Advanced Nutrients Organics mikes OG Tea is awesome,

For veg I used (and use on all my plants) Alaska fish fertilizer the plants EXPLODE, can’t beat it for the price $12/liter and I only use 3ml/gallon , I also use fox farms Microbe Brew

Pics on harvest day ofc
