Just as the title says .... simple or mildly ammended mixes. No Cooking just your go to soil mixes for your containers and garden. Feel free to add your recipes to share . What were the pros and cons of your mix ? ..... How long before it exhausted ? ..... How do you “ recharge “ it ?
And whatever curious questions you may have about the growers impressions and or improvements.
Give us your “ water only “ , tea feeders, dry top dressing , soil top dressing and whatever clever thing you did to save the drama. I have worked on “ layered “ container mixes ... shooting at “ water only “ grows with mild amendments.... or top dress.
For autos , it was an easy , clean method that could run 90 days + and need minor bump . No bottles or other synth shit. No boosters either .... tried MOAB , Beastie ( crap ) , Koolbloom , Cha Ching and a few others ..... Actually the only one that seemed to harden them up was Hydroplex. But now only “ water “ with a Kelp / Seaweed solution. From start to finish .... autos kick in gear with the properties of kelp during its short VEG STAGE ( recommend running autos at least 20/4 upfront ) this will give that auto more light energy ( longer ) during the critical rooting and structure . Thats why I do not transplant autos .... I condition them by allowing plant to acclimate ( without anything else added ) to that host medium. No drama.
For Photos , I easily do some minor tweaking with mag sulfate ( keep em green ) and calcium ( to water ). The Mag is Epsom I scratch into top soil layer at various stages after about 5 weeks on medium. Kelp will aid flowering , too many benefits to list.
Anyways ... Here is one of the mixes I use .
FFOF
EWC
PERLITE / PUMICE
MYCO ( Extreme / DYNOMYCO / great white or your choice )
BioChar
Feeding :
Top Dress MORE FFOF to recharge medium ( watered in ) or steeped in cheesecloth for a Soil Drench / Tea.
Pretty damn simple.
