Don't use the shit from woolies it no good. Bunnings have the organic richgro potting mix it's a good price. I wouldn't worry about the alfalfa,the Eco seaweed is soluble powder not meal so your better to mix it up and water it in and if you use seamungus that will be a substitute for kelp meal and you won't need to buy seasol either

You know what I'm saying lol @giglewigle don't think I'd be wrong if I said the main reason we all grow or what got us into it and kept us in it is we love the plant and take enjoyment from growing it,it should be fun dodging cops and stopping rippers and stuff is stressful enough you don't need to stress over every thing that you do with it just enjoy it bro :)
true i aggree 100 percent i think ill be allright once i get a harvest under my belt i think it cuse i fuck up so many times not realizing its as simple as growing any thing else just give it what it needs and ittl grow lol plus i just naturelly over think things

KK so if i see any of that richgrow soil ill grab a few bags of that i may not have enough boot room to get enough of every thing to do a 180 liter mix but i can alway just get a few bags and then just amend that

Bro you aren't alone in making mistakes with grows and you'll make plenty more if your anything like me,it's only a problem when you make the same mistake over and over

Why do you need to make 180 litres in 1 go. You can do whatever you want it's your grow there isn't any hard and fast rules just guidelines

i dont i just have a 180 leter compost tumbler i was gunna use to let the soil cook breakdown so i figured may as well make 180 liters but all previas things considered money and what not ill just see what i can doo ill 100 percent get the seamungus and ill see how mutch soil i can get maybe ither than the seamungus ill spring for the neem meal to get rid of everything in thats allready in the tumbler its half full atm but i gotta say iv yet to see a single mite for a few days now tneres a few knats still tho not many ihope i can end up using that cuse ir smells so earthy and ritch was thinking ov emtying it out then filling up the 20 liter putting it back in so i no exactly how many liters i have but its defanetly around half way full

It's magnesium sulphate so it's 1 part of cal mag. I give my plants in coco a bit once a week unless they look like they need a bit more fuck cal mag it's needed about as much as you need a kick in the nuts lol

How you going with the blumats ?
they work great just gotta dial in my neut concentrations the girls didn't seem to like it at even a small strength of EC 0.4 had to do a flush today cause they were not looking happy, glad i did cause runnoff was coming out at 2+. figure if im going to keep using them i need to have it fully draining and not running into the bottom of the pots to get soaked back up.

Are you using H&G drip clean ?. Fuck that's high salt build up you can't let them sit in the run off that'd be your problem. With the drippers you shouldn't have much run off but it'll just keep at that optimum moisture levels

yeah i was using drip clean, i did some reading and it seems if i am using drip clean i should be using it from start to finish, and i started this on day 15 or 17 so apparently it can cause problems, and yeah was not much sitting in the bottom but with the way the airpots are designed it does soak it back up. gonna just finish up building the damn drain table on the weekend and hand water until then. will get some pond liner and drill a hole in the middle of the table let it just run into a collection valve.

still pretty crazy amount of buildup after just a few days, i was even cleaning out the trays every 2 days. i want to get it working though cause will be worth it in the end when they are dialed in better.

I usually start my veg plants at 1or 1.2 ec and haven't had any show issues till I got to 1.4 or 1.6? I was running critical Kush at 2.4 in full bloom mode with shooting powder and the works it could handle it's food lol
