Do you have some Canna Terra Vega, but frankly I'd prefer to have the soil be rich enough not to need much fertilising. Last grow I mixed about 30% to 50% nutrient-supplemented fertiliser with some regular compost and this fucked everything up.
Do you have a specific recommendation for "rich compost"? I'm not sure in the UK what is best. I was hoping to just sparsely need to supplement if at all.
I was thinking of just adding a good deal of Perlite to thin out the compost. I will look later today exactly what I tried this time around and post back. I have Northern Lights and Shiva Skunk in the tent. The mix I used this time has screwed the NL and I don't think I'll get much from them but the Shiva seems tougher and budding acceptably.
My next grow may be my last for some time and so I don't want to fuck up again.
i like what you had to say,only one thing that sticks out,he has to know exactly what the ph of compost is,dont freak hear me out,they make a kit that you use to harvest your compost for use,with that said and im in same boat ,dont have cash for trinkets,but remember this,peat moss is used to drop ph levels,wood ash raise it,i use wood ash because it doesnt stay in the soil as long as lime,lime and bone meal clash,bone is great for flowering on out if you dig,in all my mixs i stay at a 6.5 ph,some plants want more ,some less ,just comes down to strain,in that event,then you add nutrients to adjust,but never under or over 6.5 for the flowers,i make my own compost as well,when i think it is ready to spread,i put some bean seeds in there,beans grow fast,so by judging how fast or not the test dummy does is when i use the compost,i think that damn test is solvita,but they have soil and compost test you do at home,trick is the 250 for the kit,so the bean planting works well for a broke dick hahahh,last season i went to kiddie wood chips used on school yards,and it has been the best in my opinion for air,in clay soil works like a charm,i even made a little to do in the tent and rocked out very well,i dont like perlite so the chips were the best for me,i cant get down that hill to the garden very often and the chips absorb any moisture to include and nutrients,so turns out as great amend,anyway long drug out example ,i suggest check your ph and see which way you need to go for that ideal 6.5 and adjust from there,if you dont know your ph of any media or water,banging head against a wall that dont give,hahahahThen go with a tried and true method. Look up organics threads, there are many recipes you can go only water with.
I have the luxury of experimenting so i use a very hot mix and if it goes into flames, i can always dial it back next grow.
Growing in straight compost and fertilizers is a very risky way to grow imo. Most will burn or get stunted growth. The root hairs decay when there is too much fertilizers and this is what stunts the plants.
Again post your complete mix and lets try to pinpoint the problem.

Right: the mix I used was roughly 50:50 of these two --

Plus perlite (~1.8 L in an 11L pot).
I'll look on the organic forum too, but I thought I'd ask specifically in case someone in the UK has some good options.
