This was brought up elsewhere but it's maybe a good reminder / insight. Traditionally we sweat the amendments. Are they in the right ratio? Am I missing something? How do I calculate all this?????
Who gives a shit?
The humus, clay, and biochar- They are like a big warehouse. The warehouse stores all these nutrients. The nutrients are not flowing all over the soil and medium. Most are nicely locked away in the "warehouse."
While the warehouse might be overstocked on some items, who cares? The microbes deliver only what the plant orders from the warehouse.
Regardless of the various inventory levels of the warehouse the plant gets what it wants, when it wants.
Also- There's enormous variety in life- There isn't just one item. Crab shell for Chitin? Chitin is an enormously abundant compound found far beyond soft shells. Blood Meal? Look at other meals like feather. Guanos? Easily replaced. So we want variety, and we want diversity, but we need to acknowledge redundancy. The good stuff is available everywhere in many different plant materials.
Let's not get too caught up in the various magical plant sources. Much better to ensure you have excellent humus from your own VC

What is the best size container for ROLS indoors?

Well, there's a loose agreement that a 15 gallon (fabric) pot is a great, easy to deal with size. Gives you a lot of buffer zone to be sloppy / lazy. Smaller containers you have to watch more closely. I had my buddy use 15 gallon Geopots. Right now they are sporting clover as new seedlings grow in smaller 1 gallon geopots.
Hey Rrog, you seem to know tremendously lot about organic soil. Im currently living somewhere where I cant get the fancy bags of soil. What I have at my disposal are: normal soil, perlite, humus, bat guano and dark peat moss. could you please give me the most essentiel do's and don'ts in order to reuse the soil and make it more efficient? Ive searched a lot, but most information conditions that I can get a hold of many more things, which really isnt the case. Im not trying to be cheap, I just want to make the best of my setup with whats available.. my plants are going into flowering in about three weeks.
