I’ve been applying my EWC by mixing in a bowl with water to a paste. Then apply a few spoonfuls per plant. It waters right in.

Most of my stuff I got from Build a Soil. Their Craft Blend is good shit. It's never burned any of my plants with it. Last time I ordered the big bucket of it. But I have a bunch of solo amendments from them too that I'm experimenting with. Tonight I'm gonna mix a 1/2 cup Gro-Kashi with some EWC and a little pumice to give to one of my vegging plants.
I've probably spent a grand there now, but my basement is full of BAS shit. But there's other decent looking stuff out there. Just be careful of the hot amendments with established plants.
You can get $5 off if you go through this link. I don't think you can already have an account with them though. I'm not sure.

I love build a soil I’m in the middle
Of converting to their products. And grow with peat instead of coco. Using coots mix. There feeding schedule says weekly top dressing 1/4 cup of craft blend and cover it with castings. Bokashi for the mycelium Mat. I’m just a lil nervous on adding amendments to coco, I see it can be done in the peat. Any how I’m feeding my girls good shit. But I feel as if they are lacking somewhere? Could it be I need to reamend before Flower. All I keep adding is ewc every other week or

They need more top dressing than I realized. I still aren't giving mine enough.
I'm not a fan of coco in an organic soil grow, but people use it. I would treat it the same as you would with peat until you change over to all peat. I don't think it should be too big of an issue. I do think you should give them a little more top dressing though. You really need to feed them what they're gonna want in a couple weeks and stay ahead of it, but it's hard.

Did you start with finished , cooked soil?

I started with plain FFOF. I treated it like no-till from the start to get some practice.
So after the first round I cut the stem off close to the soil, added a cup of so of Craft Blend and some EWC. Kept it somewhat moist, and in a few weeks the remaining part of the old stalk just fell right off.
Then I planted another plant in there, and did the same thing again.
I did this for 3 rounds before I added all the other shit to make it a more proper no-till.
I started with 9 10 gal pots and that was too many plants so I had extra pots to sit while I grew shit in the others. Now I have 13 15 gals full of soil since I added all the other shit.

Top dressings in organic grows are great, but it's not a real solution to organic nutrition needs. If you want to grow organically, you can't treat it like a hydro grow; there is no feeding schedule for the plants, you need to think about feeding the soil. If you think that the time it takes to build a proper soil takes too long, then maybe organic gardening isn't for you. Personally I like a hybrid feed of salts and organic amendments for cannabis indoors. Pure organic is best for outdoor gardening IMO.

You’re saying after a while the stem comes right out?

Ya. After a month you can just grab the remaining stalk and it just comes right off. The microbes break down the old roots and stalk. So the microbes turn that all back into food. It's pretty cool

I'n not using soil, I run coco/perlite these days. I do reuse it however. I'm running Jacks 3-2-1 plus an organic liquid fert which consists of earthworm castings, kelp, and fish. plus humic/fulvic and bacteria/myycorhizae.

You must be lost. This is the organics section, J.K. man.

Outdoors I do run soil in raised beds, so yes reuse that every time. I usually amend my soil a month before the start of each season, so it has time to start building up before planting.

Bringing chemicals into the organics section is like bringing politics to the grow sections.

Yeah, I figured with all the HPS users posting in the LED section these days, subforum sections were obsolete.

To me the term "feeding schedules" implies chem nutes.

I hope you realize I'm just joking around with ya. I've got a box now with 6 QB96's from Black Friday. Now I just have to find a place to put them.

I did this to my last grow. I’m waiting to see how long it takes. I gave it some nutrients and EWC watered it and it is sitting in the tent.
Hoping it works
