It is, but most 'no till' setups have redundancies by using diverse sources like gypsum, crabmeal, and langbeinite.

As long as your water isn't much more than 7 you should be alright, but I would still have another source just in case. I'm ready to start my 8th cycle with no calcium issues yet. But I DID use BuildaSoil's mineral mix. Of course that was mainly for the plant available silica in the Montana Grow ash.

Amazing! That's exactly what I'm aiming for is to bang out cycle after cycle.
I have some soluble gypsum and a rock dust blend from Gaia Id like to incorporate into my mix also. And iv got some monosilicic acid and Epsom salt on hand for watering in when needed aswell. I purchased all this stuff through multiple online sources in Canada because buildasoil doesnt ship to my area. I'm on an East coast island so it's considered rural. But just recently found out about a company called black swallow out of Ontario and it is basically a Canadian version of kis organics. So I'm going to start using their quality ingredients in the future throughout my cycles

How do you go about reamending between runs. What inputs do you put back into your soil and at what ratios? And also thank you for replying to my questions. It's definetly taken a load off my mind knowing I'm kind of steering in the right direction.

Look, brah...

Gotta start with worm poop. ~20%
Gotta have decaying stuff... Leaf litter based "potting mix" ~30%
Gotta have coir or peat moss to control hydro/aero needs. ~30%
The last ~20% is all you, brah...

My used up soil that i havent ammended with the basics acts just like coco.

20% aged fish and wood compost (sea soil)
60% coir (last run old used container soil mix)
10% pearlite
5% pumice (charged in worm tea with kelp, bennies and molases)
Azomite and glacial rock dust per lable.
Gaia Bloom around 30% of lable
Water only with kelp and bennies.
Top dress with worm and Gaia Bloom as needed.
Low maintainance. Much better than plain FFOF.
