Hello RIU. Do you think 10gal pots is big enough to hold some earthworms? My soil is: Base (peat, perlite, EWC) Nutrients: alfalfa meal, fish meal, guano/yeast based commercial pelletized fertilizer Minerals: Calcium carbonate and gypsum It also has stone meal and grounded barley I've found...

Yes, the soil is hot to the touch, i am turning it every 48 hours. I can't get crab, neem or kelp meal unfortunately.

I have a batch of spent soil i will add the ewc and use that then. Anyways my plan was not to use this new soil on seedling, i work them in cups. But was also thinking about popping some autos, and i believe should be started in their definitive pots.

Hello RIU. Yesterday i mixed my soil recipe. Tried to follow the concepts of this article: https://foliarsprays.com/features-and-benefits/mineralized-soil.html Concepts i see reflected on several soil recipes. I'm not sure about popping some auto flowering seeds in it just because the nature...

Thanks everyone for the answers. Def will be sticking to the HPS and upgrade to LEDs as soon as I can, right now short on money for such a change.

I'm from Argentina. Importing is expensive on taxes mostly. To ship a finished product i guess would be very expensive, but maybe i could import the chips and driver and mount it by myself, i have certain knowledge and experience on electronics. What LED do you recommend? I could search and...

Thanks man. The other option is a 400W CMH bulb, also from General Electric, i believe the same Constantcolor line from GE. About the LED: Yes, i did think about it, but here in my country it seems like we are always a few months/years behind, and i don't want to spend a good amount of money...

Thanks everyone for the answer. The vertical hood seems to be the standard option for growers. I forgot to clarify a, maybe, important detail: the lamps i'm talking about are 2x150W each, General Electric Constantcolor CMH 150W CMH150/TT/UVC/730/340.

THanks for the answer man. Could you tell what hood do you use?

That's a great yield. I'm not sure about the hoods that i've seen these CMH come with. Im from South America and there aren't as many companies and products like USA and Europe. Which hood do you use? At least i could check the specs. Thanks for your answer.

Hello RIU. I own a 3x3 tent. I have a 400W HPS on it. I've read varying things about lightning, watts per square feet, etc. Wanted to know your opinions about going with 315W CHM...would it be an upgrade from the HPS 400W?

Hello RIU. Today i found out that some young plant i was growing in cups, are automatics. Would you transplant them to 1 gal pots and put them under 400W HPS?

Thanks to both, will go with the Dolomite Lime and gypsum

Really thankful for your answer. I have oyster shell but not flour, it's rather coarse. I'm being able to ground it up, but not as a flour consistency. I wanted to use it as a soil amendment, but not sure if it would in that size. Anyway i can use it for the soluble calcium, same way i did with...

Hello RIU. Coarse oyster shell is what i could get, and i'm trying to grounded it by myself. Also having problems getting Agricultural Lime. Would this size be ok to use as liming agent? Or it must be more like dust/powder? Thanks in advance.

Hello RIU. I'm facing some trouble with the lime content of my recipe. I want to go with mixes like Coots and others than go with some type of lime which is mostly Calcium Carbonate, like higher than 95% CaCO3. But i can only seem to get Dolomite Lime. The one i can get is 60% CaCO3 and 40%...

Great info about the dosage. I was limiting myself to the 1:1000 dilution ratio and believing it was low, specially for the girls. I also believe you can do FFJ with different kind of fruits in different maduration times, so it's clearly not always the same strength. Did you do the soluble...

The "rock dust" i can get seems to be mostly grounded stones/rocks from the river, i think gravel is the term in english. I will def go with the azomite then. Isn't as expensive as i tought. Do you use any type of lime for pH?

Thanks for the reply Wetdog. I meant that Ag Lime was the same as gypsum regarding that in order to get any of those i must buy a 55 pounds bag. I can also get Zeolite, have you ever used it? I found a company that seems to work with seaweeds, will contact and see what i can get.

I've been doing some reading on soil recipes. A issue often arises is when i read about some commercial products that i cant find in my country. Sometimes they simply are not available or sometimes they only sell it in really big bags. From what i have available, i think some amendment rich in...
