I have a few girls settling in right now. Some fresh clones and some older root bound clones which rebounded within a week of being in this mix. Plus, I dropped a reveg into this mix. Good stuff watching plants loving fresh soil.Mycelium. The nutrient super highway. That's magical stuff. That's basically telling you its cooked and ready for planting. Its thriving with life.
You can either give me your recipe and inputs or link me to a place where its posted. How often do you feed compost rea and what's your method?I'm liking this group. Would like your input on my soil inputs. LMAO. A little LOS humor. Let's talk some compost teas too.
Hmmmm this looks amazing!@jumpincactus I believe you were explaining your soil mix and the development of the microorganisms on another thread. If I'm correct, it was a thread where you showed the soil with the web like formation of beneficial fungi. I recently mixed and cooked a batch. Opened the bag a month later and I noticed some white fuzz. Think I'm on the right path. I believe I'm gonna set up half of my tent in a tub of LOS.
Also I prefer to sear it for a few quick min then cook it low and slow.Only thing I would add is they all look a little calmag deficient. I would add a gal or 2 to my mix before cooking it and call it a day.
Only decent?Jk jk. Looks like a decent LOS thread on the farm which we are lacking. Nevermind me I’m just wandering the streets kickin cans. Haha
We’ll see well see. We’re only at page 2...Only decent?
Hahhahahah :DWe’ll see well see. We’re only at page 2...
My friend @Organikz has been known to take threads to the abyss fast!
Hahahah. Again JK bro
Soil base:You can either give me your recipe and inputs or link me to a place where its posted. How often do you feed compost rea and what's your method?
That may come out a little hot. I would test it with a tomato plant. I would add 1.5g ot peat moss to the recipe.Soil base:
2 cu ft bag of FFHF
2 gal mushroom compost
2 gal humus and cow manure
5 gal perlite
Amendments:
3 c blood meal
3 c bone meal
2 c kelp meal
2 c Dr Earth apf
2 c bat guano (high p)
1 c epsom salt
2 c garden lime
1 c mykos
3 c azomite
This is my final container mix. It's sorta a super soil mix I place in the bottom of containers and backfill with straight FFHF/ perlite mix. I started using HF for a 30 day veg period before final container with this mix. As this is first run using this mix, I've yet to see the actual results. I have yet to use any teas, but have the brewer and ready to add some good juices throughout the grow. Any recipes would be greatly appreciated.
Yes we transplant in LOS. As long as you have a designated "final container". I do starts in a solo cup if I dont have a lot of seeds to do direct sowing.My intentions were never LOS but I was considering using this mix to develop a large container in my flower tent dedicated to a no till LOS. Question.... Currently I am transplanting throughout the plants growth. I'm assuming this is not considered no till. Is there soil mix even considered LOS if I'm transplanting?
that white fuzzy is good stuff man. You are on the right path.@jumpincactus I believe you were explaining your soil mix and the development of the microorganisms on another thread. If I'm correct, it was a thread where you showed the soil with the web like formation of beneficial fungi. I recently mixed and cooked a batch.

if you totally remove your rootball you are destroying a lot of the microherd you worked hard to create. Including any mychorrhizal network active in the rootzone. I leave mine in.Do you guys leave root masses in the LOS or do you remove it all?
I invite you to peruse this write up and come to your own conclusions. Living soil is about a natural balance and in my garden /soil I love to have this excellent network. Read on to see and understand its importance in any garden.Isn't mushroom compost more for perennials? I've always stayed away from it in my mix because of teaming with series
Teaming with series? Not understanding. Figured it was just organic matter.Isn't mushroom compost more for perennials? I've always stayed away from it in my mix because of teaming with series
