I threw 2 bags of
Roots Organics soil in a 70 gallon res. Bought a bunch of those boxed ammendments. Such as, fish bone meal, blood meal, dried seaweed, alfalfa,
Fox Farm bat guano 0-5-0, sea bird guano pellets (10-10-2 I believe), some shrimp/ peat compost, chicken manure compost, green sand, Espoma lime, sulp o mag, and about 20% EWC. There are a few I'm forgetting I'm sure.
I made sure I didn't over do it on things such as blood meal, lime, and others that can burn the plants if used in too high concentration. I transplanted my 2 foot tall SFV OG, Banana Kush, and Sour Deisel into it June 1. I did not let the soil mix "cook" for a week or 3 like some recommend.
I had no issues and my plants are beasts right now. All went straight into flower (although it seemed to be a slow flowering response) and are really starting to stink up my yard. I have been watering with either straight R/O, R/O mixed with
Liquid Karma at 1 tsp/gal, R/O with Neptunes Harvest fish and seaweed, or R/O and molassas at 1 tsp/gal.
My girls are dark green and super happy. Haven't had any yellowing issues, nor have there been any signs of burning. I am also running another Sour D, a WIFI and a Fire Alien next to these. They are in straight
Fox Farm Ocean Forrest. I have noticed yellowing in these plants. I ammended with Guano, EWC, and even broke down and bought some Buddah Bloom the other day. Kind of disappointed with myself about that actually lol. They appear to be darkening up nicely. They sure do fricking reak!!!
Have 5 inside (3 Banana Kush 2 SFV OG) that are on day 14 of bloom with the same home made soil mix. So far so good! Not 1 yellow leaf, and little nubs already. Can't wait to taste the difference between organic soil and nicely flushed coco!
