  1. Would add Oyster Shell Flour at 1 cup per cu.ft. Everything else looks good, but don't short change yourself on the Kelp!

  2. So I should use like 3-4cups kelp per cu. Ft.?
     
  3. 2 cups would be fine. If you feel like things need a boost, can always brew up a neem/kelp tea and water with that.

  4. I've never had any issue down to 58 degrees personally but everyone's grow is different
     
  5. Is there something I don't have in my mix or do that would cause them to turn purple?

    "Equal parts of Sphagnum peat moss, some aeration deal (pumice, rice hulls, lava rock - whatever is sitting in the garage) and finally some mix of humus - my compost, worm castings some black leaf mold I bought from the local 'worm guy'

    To each 1 c.f. of this mix I add the following:

    1/2 cup organic Neem meal
    1/2 cup organic Kelp meal
    1/2 cup Crab meal (or Crustacean meal when available - it has Shrimp meal with the Crab meal. It's a local product from the fisheries on the Oregon & Washington Coasts)

    4 cups of some minerals - rock dust

    After the plant is in the final container I top-dress with my worm castings at 2" or so and then I hit it with Aloe vera juice and Comfrey extract. Or Borage. Or Stinging Nettle. Or Horsetail ferns. Whatever is ready.

    That's it.

    To recycle I've just been letting the root ball breakdown and I remove it. I dump the potting soil into an extra large SmartPot container (50 gallons) and add some new potting soil mix as above. I water it down with Kelp meal and Comfrey tea and let it sit until I need it.

    Ain't rocket science......"

    I like to top dress basmati rice with some roasted almonds and herbs. [​IMG]
     
  15. Clones from a bubbler? Let em get about 1" long and then into soil... I've planted with less root and had no prob... If from a root plug, look for about 6 spots where roots are starting to poke and you can transplant without much trouble... The plant wants to root... So just make a nice moist and warm environment and she will do her thing.
     
  16. Hey everyone, I'm making my first soil this grow and have a question for you guys. I have my BAS amendments waiting to start mixing so I went out and tried to buy peat moss and worm castings tonight except I couldn't get them separate, I got this instead
    ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1427603490.255266.jpg ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1427603534.309228.jpg

    I still want to add extra worm compost/castings but have to wait until I find them. If I add my amendments into this soil and let it sit, will it hurt to add in the castings a few days later? I don't wanna fuck this up lol! Thanks everyone
