I already mixed my base, i was under the impression going peat heavy i water less? Mixed about 20g peat 10g lava 7.5g compost 2.5g castings I did not moisten peat first! I did soak the mix before i left the house. After i let it dry some i will wet again, with aloe this time.

ok, going heavy on the peat. 50 25 25. Mixing my meals equaly before adding. how much of the dr earth life should i add? and how much oyster shell flour should i add? 2 cu ft peat 1 cu ft lava 1 cu ft compost/castings?

I was going to make enough soil for 6 5g pots, i have an excess of compost and peat so i figure i can make a bigger mix. I was going to go about a 1/3 each but i only have 1 cu ft of the lava rock. 2.2 cu ft peat 1.5 cu ft compost and prob same amount of castings. what are some ideal ratios...

Thank you Rasta for the extra clarification! Not far into the book yet but definately glad i picked it up! I have aloe all over the place here dubekoms! Im going to have to do some more reading on it for sure.

wow ok, thanks. I will stay away from that. Still have alot to learn, organics is so easy to realy get into. I just picked up "Teaming with Microbes" last night, i should give it a read.

thank you very much @MistaRasta ! I think ill skip the azomite since the kelp provides. If i cant return it, would langbeinite be a good exhange and addition? Also, if i mixed this today would i be able to top dress the langbeinite, or would it be best to hold off until i head to town?

Im wanting to mix this up so i can plant soon. This is my first attempt at going a no-till route. My current run is with ffof and happy frog with some happy frog fruit and flower fert mixed in. I will be in 6 5g fabric pots. Sphagnum peat Lava rock Worm castings are from my own worm bins (fed...

:weed:

Building a soil for my next run, picked up a couple things: neem seed meal kelp meal (home depot is not stocking pelatized anymore so i got a good deal on a couple bags) would it be a waste to top dress any of these this late into flowering?

some pics from thismorning:

Double Grape just got here, hopefuly will be starting soon. Stilton Special freebies. I started out with the intention of going hydro. I had to move and with the water here at 1100ish ppm i ended up going soil. I went with the ffof and hf mix thinking i would go organic.. Reading through...

Thanks, will def give a report when done. Have you tried chocalope? My sister gave me some a while back that was so yum and exactly what you describe. I wonder if she still has it...

day 46/47ish:

Definately has lots of iron, lime, sulfur... smells bad. Will get a filter. What range do you try to drop your water to? Have you ever had issues with your well water? Ive been diluting with ac run off but i probably will not even be running ac again, if not for a couple hours on hotter days.

Thanks, i top dressed some ewc about a week ago. I'll prob just water from here on out. I still need to find out whats in the well water here that i use for them. 1,100ish ppm.
