Well down the rabbit hole. initially I reamended a bag of roots I had, which is all about to go into use in transplants in next few weeks. And won't have enough to do next plantings , etc (not to mention my mango tree needs to move to a 10 or 15gal)

Sticking with what a lot of people seem to be doing as far as standard ratios unless someone has input to change. For approx 1.5cuft

Sunshine sphagnum peat 43%
Black lava rock for aereation%33
Ewc (I have a good 4gal worth from a spot locally , but not about to kill it for another 2.5hr drive to get more. I bought a 12# bag at depot just in case too) 12%
Malibu bus compost 11% ( so I don't have to go drive for more ewc yet)

Amendments

1.5c dolomite
1c kelp meal
1c crab meal
1/2c alfalfa
1/2c bone meal
1/2c langbenenite
1/2c humic acid
And mycos for transplanting
Thanks in advanced for any help

Are you going to cook the soil first?
Super soil has to be aged.

Flowering progress first full round of organics (not I'm my soil build, it's reameneded roots. Got a couple in my mix in veg tho.

I top dressed every week 3 weeks prior to flip on the fem plant that I main lined, and I just too dressed yesterday one more time hoping that'll be enough, but can see it needing 1 more additional. I'm through the stretch and the 2 autos and 1 photo have all stayed green finally. My last 2 experiment rounds my ladies went lime green in week 1 of flip

First full organic runs update. Had some learning curves, but getting better. 2 autos on about week 12 since pop (ww cbd and bb xdom) hoping they amber up within week.
They are by far the nicest finishing plants I've ever grown.
The tangie haze in back well learning curves lol

Mainlined maui in front I just flipped il be top dressing here a CPL more weeks thru stretch to avoid tangie disaster.

Then 1 more shot at a tangie, maui, and a g13 which I'll clone before flip. The Maui and g are in 7gals which I've never run before. 5s I did all the time.

Water, teas, and some too dress has been a nice change from chems.

Well it's been a bit. My transition to organics was a bit bumpy but my recipe was fairly solid, had to increase bone meal some.
I've mostly settled into 7gal pots with 2 top dressings . One at end of veg , and one end of stretch.

I have stopped teas all together (maybe was overdoing it).

Ive never had better looking stinkier more dense stuff in all the time I've been screwing around with liquid fertilizer lol.

Couldn't be more stoked. Pulling QPs from most of the girls now consistently.

Been a good while since I've been on here but I figured I'd post a few photos and I had a question to ask about seedlings in organics.


Basically what's everyone do for seedlings and fresh rooted clones. I'm fairly sure at times some of my girls it's a bit hot possibly.

I've also added to my original recipe (fish bone meal hi p bit it's been in mix for a while, azomite, gypsum we're just added this week to full bin of used soil along with a small charge of the normal regiment. Transplants I top dressed it.

I've also begin using bokashi grain and I love the insane bloom after top dressing the soil bin. The matte of mycelium is nuts. I've done it a few times mixing the bloom in each time. Also top dress the main pots and started using mulch as well on final pots at least.

cheers

Ignore the shitty clones I pulled from some a touch early lol. Plant far right is a re veg I want to keep genetics on (frosted valley)

New girl in flower is lost pearl (inbred version of something a friend grew amazing stuff of in college)
Bokashi bloom
Babies all lined up
Peanut butter breath (not original genetics) harvest from Sunday

Lost pearl cola cut down yesterday. Smaller plant than I was expecting . I'll have to go longer in veg next time.

Below that is the plants I had asked questions about before.
Sour apple white truffle and Chemdog D variant. The gsc is in there but she's small and leggy and I shoved her in the corner .

Going to get 4 new strains in clones next week for next round in newly cooked soil (well not new recycled but i added more minerals I wasn't using before in my mix)
