Bruce Bugbee is definitely worth watching about lighting for cannabis. He’s an actual PhD teaching at Utah State where they have a licensed HEMP research program. Bugbee says in the first video whatever goes for hemp goes for cannabis. Helped me understand LED a hell of a lot faster than trying here. Otherwise these YouTube cannabis experts are nothing special in my opinion.
That's exactly what I'm trying to do just water the medium when dry with a top dress like you said mid flower or so
I love bruise bugbee man he said they use a %50 peat with %50 verm and some type of blue water soluble fertilizer I just don't see how but he said they've used everything and the plants like that mix best... surprised me when he shared the soil recipe and it was that
maybe you can add some add it'll be ok. I have never grown with gaia green amendments, I don't know how strong they are. I said to add less than mr canucks because he adds more than recommended by gaia green , he says so himself on his videos, and his plants are always somewhat fried.
Im think at least for the cell pods i won't add anything but when I transplant the final resting pot I'm thinking I'll add some extra food for them...
Throw your idea out the window. Dry amendments and coco is a waste of time. If you want a soil mix use soil and not coco.
You don't think peat is too dense or heavy? I use it in my mixes but never more than 15-20% total. It is also pretty hot from some regions. Only curious as a dirt digger. LOL.
So what's the rest of your medium consistent of do you use both I've heard of some doin that
I am goin to do a run with coco because it's already bought BUT since I have some plants alrrady regular peat based soil (some promix with Castings and some with fox farms) and I'm goin do the coco anyway and compare....but couldn't I make a higher quality organic soil and let it sit or "cook" and as soon as the veg room opens back up use that?
It's in my journal. Around page 12. But I eyeball it at 50% potting mix, 10% coco coire, 10% seed starter mix, 15% peat "Michigan" and 15% compost. I amend with 1 Tbsp of each of the ones I posted. Same at top dress. Unless in ground. Then I double.
I thought maybe I could also mix some of this peat in with regular potting soil idk man I'm trying to find me... this be my 4th run once I run the coco but I still haven't found a prefered method I just know I like the idea of organics and building my own soil
You will be fine with what you have
What I'm doing. Been in for a bit since 80's. LOL. I like soil. No issues indoors. And only pests to deal with outside. Water and watch.
That's my thing I'm chasing the terps this go around guys that's one of the reason I'm trying to switch things up what ever I'm doin is not providing the flavor I'm looking for I've had good weed before and the weed I'm growing I wouldnt be mad if I bought it but I probably wouldn't be looking for somewhere to get it from
I like soil too man its was what I started with but I'm lacking something in my growing my temps humidity and ph all stayed in range had a couple hiccups still pulled about a pound off this last one 6 but still I Kno i cud do better
