correct me if im wrong,but doesnt perlite already have a lime base to it,i always thought it did,i like all that he using but the lime,but again everyone tells the same story,if you using peatmoss gotta have dolimite,i disagree with this,lime is just like many other amends to the soil,if my plant is talking to me ,saying it needs it,then i work it in,i have seen so many mixtures of stuff over the years,8 out of 10 come back later with ph issues,lime will set you at nuetral but is still to high for weed in soil ,just my opinion,now when season is done and about every 4 years or even earlier if the soil aint jiving,i will lime my garden,but i have limed my weed only 1 time in my past,and it didnt help imediatly like i wanted it too,it also has to be cooked in for the benifits,,now if he was gonna cook all these and the mix,go hard might be on to something and not even know it,,what i usally do,is drop my seeds in some ocean forest,then i build my soil ,amend and cook in the summer heat for following grow,,i dont grow a lot though,when im sitting on 2 lbs ,i dont grow again till im down to half pound and ramp back up,i dont smoke alot though,so we talking a year at least,,you guy that do perpetual and all difrent critter if you dig,,when i was banging the shit out,i had several totes of cooked soil and several reclaimed,i use the cook twice and reamend and just keep rotation going,,the key to soil is easy ,critters doing the job,keep um happy they will get you high,lmao regaurdless of anyone saying there is no difrence in taste of soil grown over water grown,it all bullshit soil weed is the tops,and even when they putting all the crap they do into the feed cycle,with soil even though they ruining it with some these things,there dirt still filter out some them chemicals,,i was just gifted a lid,oz,zip whatever you youngsters call it today,even with it grown in soil,i cant hardly smoke it,harsh as hell,he used blue planet nutrients,oh shit,i appreciate him gifting it to me,but damn i had to mix a salad with it,hahah critter grown vs nutrient grown in soil big difrence,so anyone saying all this is crap,,do a side by side of critter grown and nutrient grown in soil and holler back,big difrence,,you will never convince me of outdoor vs indoor,,hands down outdoor cannot be beat,just takes longer but the sweetness can sure enough give you many happy thoughts,lmao
