So I had a ton of RO soil on hand and amended it, but ended up not liking it. Too many bug issues and some deficiency issues. I am going to go back to Pro-Mix organic and am wondering if my amendments would work. I decided to start using some amendments because I am trying to take the bottle out of my grow. On top of the BioCanna line, I use Thrive Alive, GO Cal mag, EJ Microblast, ProteKt, Humega (occassionally,) and Roots Excelurator.
My recipe is as follows:
10 gal Pro-Mix Organic
2 gal EWC {all around goodies}
2 gal Ancient Forest {Humus}
12 Cups Espoma Kelp Meal (Directions say 1/20 mix rate.) {trace and growth hormones}
2 Cups Dolomite Lime {Cal Mag and pH buffer}
1 Cup Azomite (The only directions I've found say to apply at 1TBS/gal.) {Complete trace amendment}
10 TBS Azos {Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria}
10 TBS Mykos {Gen purpose mycorhizzae}
Does this look okay? There were a few things I wasn't sure about. I realize that with the Azomite and the kelp meal I might have an abundance of trace. Anything you might add.
That being said, my product is coming out great, but there is always room for improvement. I would like to eventually move to a soil mix and not have any bottled nutes, but so far my results have been less than spectacular. My pro-mix plants run side by side and are doing much better. I just hate coming off the money and would like to simplify to get it down to a water and carb mix.
