Good organic soil mix?

You should see all my keyboard warrior purple hearts..... haha!
I started with straight FFOF, and only used organic nutrients. Then I mixed pumice and a bunch of crap in and turned it into no-till. I'm lazy, and don't want to mess with transplanting much or do extra work. Not to mention soil isn't cheap.

Compared to the cost of electricity and equipment its a piss in the ocean but i can totally vibe with the no till lifestyle if you can make it work for you.

I'm trying. I'm on like round 6 and 7 I think now. I don't remember. I've almost been using it for 2 straight years now. It's definitely a learning process though, and I'm far from mastering it.

So I received my tent and everything. Turned on the light and it’s hot. 86-87F. I have an intake, exhaust and 2 fans inside. One blowing the humidifier air around, and another 9 inch fan blowing at the light. I took the 600w down and put the 150w In there with the plant. I figure a better environment for the plant right now is crucial. Right now temps are looking good around 78f. Prob going to get lower once the place cools off from that 600w.

Were you venting the light and directing the air outside? My neighbor just finished a grow in a almost 2x4x7 tent, he controlled the temps by venting his 600 hps outside.

I’m going to be running a 6 inch air duct from my ac vent in my kitchen and then running it out of my tent. I am not able to run the air vent outside because I live in an apartment. So that’ll have to do for now. When I get home I’ll hook it up and do a temp test to see what the temps are

I have 2 temp sensors in the tent. One lower and one in the middle by the light. Both are acceptable for flower I’m hoping. Humidity is kinda low but I guess that’s ok. I have a humidifier that I should prob set on a timer. But I think I’m happy with the setup for now!

I have a question... I’m on day 51 of flower and I have 2-3 weeks of flower left. I flushed many many gallons of water from my spigot and the Ppm of the runoff was 153. The ppm of the water used is 147. Is this flushed enough?
