Hello fellow farmers.
I am a retired small time grower from Southern Ontario. I run perpetual for myself and 2 adult children.
I grow for taste and effect and prefer older strains like Girl Scout Cookies, Pineapple Express, Purple Kush
and various others. I need variety and have something for whatever mood or time of day.
I run clones in a combination of Happy Frog/Ocean Forest and perlite. I use the FoxFarm trio with some
cal-mag and silica. This has been working well for years. Until now. Getting the soil has become difficult
for about a year and now nobody has it.
I'm going to try Promix as an alternative. In my small flower tent I will experiment with dry amendments.
Hopefully I can lock it in with a couple of test runs.
Most of my strains run for 63 days (p/e 71 days) alternating feed/water and just water the last 10 days
or so.
Promix is a different animal. Will this schedule work in this medium ? I have scoured the forums/YouTube
and haven't been able to find a definitive answer. I could try the feed/water (probably will) or feed/half feed
if the first doesn't work. I know my plants so eventually I will figure it out.
This question is not about the nutrients themselves as we all have our reasons for using whatever so lets try
to avoid that conversation.
So farmers, if you are growing with Promix and bottled nutrients let me know how you feed our beloved plant.
Thanks in advance.
