Em-1 is a bit suspect. I use it and have not used it and results are not blatantly obvious one way or the other so don't think you'll miss out on too much.I was considering doing the kashi and em1 but am trying to keep costs down if possible. The cost of the em1, molasses, burping jars, and kashi is what brought me to my original question. Trying to see if a similar method would work without the kashi and em1 if the container was large enough and a similar top dress routine was followed. Once at transplant, once a month in veg, and once before flower. Maybe just do the compost, pumice and kashi or craft blend and not do the em1 is suppose?
I know @Richard Drysift is a big fan of the jobes sticks and his garden is one to envy but he is WAY above my level in experience, knowledge, and skill. Trying to keep it somewhat simple and repeatable if possible. Im still a noob trying to get decent so I can work on getting good then try to figure out being able to hold a conversation with someone like Mr. Drysift.
Any way u go from what your thinking will work. Watch the link above from BAS. He doesn't use em-1 like Alan adkinson. Also answers all your questions about top dress. Good info in there too about top dressing and filling rez in veg. It's about the only time a sip can fuck up by overwatering.
Good luck. And I still do suggest the jobe's sticks. Super simple and cheap.
