sorry if i caused confusion (i left with my family for a few days), what i meant to ask was, could i transplant into a "semi"-finished mix (only "cooked" say 2 weeks) if i transplanted into the ground rather than into a larger pot (5 gal)? Its my birthday! =D
I have some soil now that has been cooking for two months then I have some I just started. I usually wont use it unless it has cooked for a month minimum. keepem green dirrtyd
i looked up some ingredients in dirtys recipe to see how much the averages costs were and what they look like so i can pick them up or something similiar but i noticed some popped up on google only as liquid ferts I was wondering if they only come in the form or if good is just stupid some were humic acid bio fish meal the iron - sulfur crab meal didn't even show up
Everything in my recipe is a dry amendment my friend. Also the company is listed for each product that I use. They all have a website also even though I can walk into a store and buy them all. keepem green dirrtyd
Actually no I dont or havent in my backyard. I do see raccoons in the neighborhood. I'm actually just substituting other products with the fish products. I could make this mix and take all the fish products out and substitute with various guanos and get same results.Keepem green dirrtyd
Some of you go to a LOT of work unnecessarily IMHO. If you want a bigger "yield" use a simpler soil mixture and buy a couple of more clones instead of fancy ingredient soils.

[/quote] Idk man, I kind of love organics for that reason alone ; crazy ass diversity. I am honing my mix a lot lately, and using earthworms to process most of my meals, but still, bring on the craziness. Cheapest rock dust I have found, which I have recently read could be a founder in mineralizing the earth. I'm talking granite, cheap as hell under $2 a 5gal bucket, granite. Make sure they can grind it for you though, might cost an extra 5 spot. I am applying it sparringly to the worms, and 1 cup / cf for my pots. This, plus 1/2 cup lime, 1 cup Gypsum and I'm rolling. About 50lbs of each altogether under $20. And that's just my rocks meng
Nothing wrong with that my friend. I just think many people over think it all and rack their brains trying to come up with a soil that grows bud better than the next guy. I think that is total BS personally. The XJ13 cola in my avatar was my first grow last season and I used plain old Super Soil from Home Depot and didn't put in any perlite or anything. I fed it Spray-N-Grow for a while and then switched to Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Big bloom and it did well considering my first time.

You could be sitting on a gold mind. Plus idk anyone who adds perlite outside.
It was outside but it was in a 5 gallon black nursery pot so perlite would have been a good idea to help drainage and get air to the roots better.
