Only Compost?! It must have some nice aeration going on. Awesome! :smoking:My first every grow with using nothing but this. Going well
Reveg an auto?Using everything on this list to re-veg an wtc auto-flower that was formerly in coco to soil. Going to eventually throw some mozz in some as well:
Roots Organic Soil
Biobizz Light-Mix soil
Organic Earthworm Castings
Fish Bone Meal
Dolomite Lime
Azomite
Happy Frog Blood Meal
Happy Frog Bat Guano (0-5-0)
Epsom Salt
Perlite
Horse and Goose manure
Growing some monsters @Greatlakes , great thread. I plan on trying some compost. Steer. Myself.My first every grow with using nothing but this. Going well
Yeah. Most people just chop them I guess.Reveg an auto?
R u experimenting? Its probably gonna herm on yaYeah. Most people just chop them I guess.
Yeah there is a decent amount of perlite and as long as the ph is right it grows other plants really well.Only Compost?! It must have some nice aeration going on. Awesome! :smoking:
Really just using it to test the soil before these seeds pop, but I was hoping it would make it...R u experimenting? Its probably gonna herm on ya
Autos have a time cycle/life span. Messinh with it will cause it to herm out and pollinate any other females. Watch outReally just using it to test the soil before these seeds pop, but I was hoping it would make it...
I knew a bit about them before I started to save this white tahoe cookies, I just slapped under the blues, into some soil as fast as I could, hoping the best. I haven't messed with af's a lot so I just thought it would be a cool experiment to get the pallet box calibrated as well. This is a new grow so if it herms then it's no real loss as it was free, and hopefully I'll have seedlings by then, of which the seeds were also free. I'm waiting before I plant my other seeds that I actually paid for. Not really worried at this point and so far the soil is pulling it back despite the stress it has suffered and I'm not seeing any signs of the pistols she does have changing to full on green and fat, but I'm not holding my breath either way. I have sort of a diary going on so I'll be updating that as she grows back. This was just to post my soil mix. Cheers.Autos have a time cycle/life span.

Just curious; what are the effects of the malted barley. I'm going going to google as well, but I was curious if there was a noticeable terpene change?So I've been using Subs super soil with great results but I'm trying to focus more on using true living soil as my medium.
This is the soil mix I've come up with but I wanted to run it by you guys in here before I use it. In case something needs to be changed.
Any and all input would be great!
Here's the Mix(makes 18 5 gallon pots)
Promix bx with Mycorrhyzae or Peat Moss with added pumice: 3.8 cubic ft
Compost: 3 cubic ft
Mushroom Compost: 1.5 cubic ft
Earth Worm Castings: 10lbs per bag
Bio-Live: 4 1/2 cups
Kelp Meal: 4 1/2 cups
Neem Meal: 4 1/2 cups
Malted Barley: 4 1/2 cups
Gypsum: 3 cups
Basalt: 10 cups
Bio-Char: 18 cups
Look OK? Suggestions to make it better?

I have a base mix that I use across the board, but I've found that bumping the N and K a little more for vegging plants then adding higher P and K for flower is working well. I'm not sure what your transplanting/ pruning schedule is, but I've been using growth stage appropriate soil mixes with some simple success. Not sure if there's solid science about it, but with my process of transplanting it send to do the trick with minimal attention to nutes. Ewc teas once a week paired with only water during veg then ewc high P bat guana teas during flower. Low concentrations on the teas though. Couldn't even tell you what ppm. Depending on the feeding habits of the strain these practices get thru a full cycle very nicely. Your mix seems good. No mykos added? I use granular when transplanting. The ewc teas will help boost the micro life too.This is the mix I am thinking about doing this year, any advice and helpful critiques are welcome! I've been doing organics for a while, but my soil mix has gotten way too complex as I have sorta "collected" different kinds of amendments of the years. This would be for indoor and I'd like it to carry thru flowering, with the addition of the occasional tea.
50% Peat Moss
20% Oly Mountain Fish Compost
30% Aeration(probably a mix of lava rock/Rice Hulls/Perlite)
1 cup per cubic foot of each:
9-4.5-0 FISH MEAL
3-16-0 FISH BONE MEAL
1-.1-2 KELP
2-.5-2.5 ALFALFA MEAL
3-1-3 INSECT FRASS
Azomite
Gypsum
Oyster Shell Flour
Once again tons of great info everyone! I’m doing my first grow in about 8 years and running this one very basic until budget allows for more.
I started with an organic base raised bed potting soil from Home Depot, added some perlite and compost chicken manure to start in 5g pots. Will add more organic base nutrients as they grow and in the bloom stage. Still debating on 100% organic or notation this point.
