Welcome, After some successful hydro grows we are switching for good to organic. I have spent time reading and learning all I can about growing organically and now I hope it will show. I'm in no way an expert on the matter and only a student who is constantly learning and applying. Feel free to offer suggestions, opinions, or words of encouragement. The 7 beans I will be working with: Ultimate Purple Hash Passion White Widow Mango Afghan Kush Purple Widow Jorges Diamonds #1 Im going to try the basic mix with slight modification. These are my particulars: 1/3 Peat moss 1/3 perlite 1/3 EWC 1 cup of dolomite lime 2.5 cups total of the following: Fish bone meal kelp meal alfalfa meal and 4 cups of granite/marble dust To that mix I will add bottled water and turn regularly for 3-4 weeks Pics will posted later...Wish me luck
First! Ok. That is officially the first time I have ever done that. I'd say things sound pretty good. I'd for sure add some Neem cake meal for pest control. And pick up some ProTekt to add to your waterings for silicon. Maybe hop over to Buildasoil.com and grab some powdered coconut water and aloe juice. And read up on ACT's and SST's. Sent from somewhere over there. No, not there...over THERE.
Thanks for the info. I have a lot of neem oil but from what I read about cake meal it is on my to get list.
I got a shopping list just adding to it. I lucked out on rock dust. Free granite and marble dust as much as I want.
Don't add Dolomite Lime! Use Oyster Shell Flour instead. DL takes forever to fully break down and become available, it's pretty useless for indoor potting mixes. Check out my grow! Mars II LED & Organic No-Till Soil. http://forum.grasscity.com/organic-grow-journals/1318542-freedom-35.htmlk Live Free
