I was worried ab not getting my plants in earlier this year and it was making me think I didn't have time to cook a soil. I had to remind myself that I still have a descent time to cook the soil and get them in around 3 weeks or so with a sml buffer layer maybe. I am still ahead of last year as the plants I have ready are ab 3 ' squat bushes lol. They look great! I am thinking I am going to mix a soil up without a lot of the amendments I have per the info you guys shared with me tweaked the recipe. Let me know if this looks good!
*Note I would use peat but have the bags already!
4x (1.5 cuft) Royal Gold Mendo Mix(heavier compost content)
1x (3 cuft)Roots 707
2x (1.5 cuft) Royal Gold Basement(707 and base are lighter mix with more perlite and lava rock)
(12 CUFT TOTAL)
* 60 Lbs Ewc(local farm much better source)
*2 Lbs Alfalfa 2-1-2( 1-4 month N source, loaded with micros and Triancanotol a growth hormone)
*1 Lb Crab Meal 6-3-0( 1-4 month N source, Has Chitin a pest and anaerobic disease fighter)
*1 Lb Neem Meal/Cake(
*2 1/2 Lb Fish Bone( Takes a long time to breakdown to usable P ab 4 months.)
*2 Lb Kelp Meal( long term low n-p-k but contain 60+ trace minerals and loaded with growth hormone, Helps breakdown P for later use)
*2 1/2 Lb High P guano( 4+ months to breakdown, stimulates soil microbes)
*2 lbs Greensand(32 trace minerals including Silica,Iron,etc. Takes 2-3 years to fully breakdown also retains water)
*2 lbs Azomite(a-z list or micro/trace minerals contains Rare Earth Elements)
*1 Lb Oyster Shell(ph buffer and Mg source,etc.)
* 1 cup Pwered Humic Acid
* Water pile with an ewc tea to get things ramped up and breaking down better/faster
* turn once a week and reapply tea j before use in 3 weeks
* I would like to know seeing as nothing should burn except the Bone how long should I cook considering there is 3' going in!
*Also does using the buffer layer reuse the time I have to cook as it will take a week or two for the roots to get that deep.
*Also Knowing most if not all the feeder roots are in the top 8" wouldn't putting buffer layers defier the purpose seeing as all the goodies are at the bottom? just a thought.
What do you guys think about the new Mix. I left out the Blood,Feather,PSG, and diatomaceous which should cut the cook time and add better flavor and overall quality. With that being said should I omit the Bone,High P guano and tea them in later or do you think adding them is going to be more of an advantage. They are both my flower nutes that take time to breakdown so it seems like I should add them.
