I urge you Not to do this. Coco does not work as well as peat for making soil this way. It doesn't support he microbes as well or something. It's OK to use some coco, maybe like 10-15%, to build up and fluff out your soil. But coco + castings + aeration just results in issue after issue...

What muscles or areas did you roll out to relieve pressure on your disk?

This is a good point for new guy to see. With gyro methods and bottles you can grow big plants in small pots. In organic soil you need big roots, lots of soil and big lots. And jumping to a new big ass pot with fresh, loaded up soil shortly before flowering is a good way to keep your plants...

I used a bag of Dr Earth Flower Girl last year. It did just fine. Right now I'm irrationally obsessed with Soybean Meal as an amendment because of some of the micronutrients it's got. I switched to Roots specifically because it contained some soybean meal. I thinks it's great, but I might be a...

Don't feel bad worrying about that stuff dude, there are all kinds of great dry all in ones in the USA. Or maybe all in twos because lots of companies make a separate veg and bloom mix. Happy Frog "All Purpose" for veg and "Fruit and Flower"for bloom Roots Organics "Uprising" has a Grow and...

Crab shell is full of calcium and magnesium, and in a good ratio for tweeds. Sprinkle some on top of your soil here and there and you should be golden. Most Phosphorus sources like fish bone meal, crab shell, and bat guano have a bunch of Calcium. And the hard stuff has magnesium. If you need...

Maybe, maybe add a little extra perlite or something to lighten up the soil. I've never used the Green Field, but the web site says it's got less perlite/pumice. Also the Roots web site says to start feeding/top dressing 2 weeks in, so be aware. If you want big plants and long veg periods it...

I'm glad the info was usable. This is a great time to get into growing this way. There are so many easy to use, ready to go products now. Roots Organic is a solid brand. Do you have the "Uprising" dry stuff? It's totally as good as Dr Earth, so if you already have some don't be afraid to use...

Your plants look good. Leaves have a nice green color with no yellowing, which is good. It's all down hill from here. If you want to get super picky, check out your leaf tips. You've got super minor burning. That shows you're feeding just a little bit too much. Or maybe your nitrogen is...

Any time man, Good Luck. Yes, you can mix the different Dr Earths to come up with the perfect custom N-P-K ratio if you want. Just don't exceed 3-4 teaspoons, Total. It's Convenient to have the Ocean Forest with all the good stuff already mixed in. Way easier than amending the Happy Frog. So...

Use a little worm castings and perlite to fluff up your Ocean Forest soil, then mix in some Happy Frog to make a gentle, not hot soil to start your seeds/small plants in. After a few weeks in small pots, jump to your 5 gallon pots in "stronger" soil, which is just Ocean Forest, perlite,castings...

Yeah, top dress + compost tea is OK. What's your wetting agent? I don't know that I would put soap in my compost tea but yucca or something would probably be OK. For compost tea use 2 teaspoons of molasses, 1/2 to 3/4 cup of compost and 1/2 to 3/4 cup EWC for 5 gallons of water. If you add...

Excellent! Then it's time to switch to TerpTea "Bloom Booster," High Potassium, late flower formula.

50% of recommed dosage is perfect. I've been using 3-4 teaspoons of Terp Tea every week to topdress my 7 gallon pots and it's been plenty. Now (five weeks in final pots, 3rd week of flower) is a Great time for a top dress. Maybe, maybe you're 1 week behind, like 4 weeks in final pots/2 weeks in...

Nice bud! I think plants organic soil (whatever that means) need bigger pots. More room for roots, more room for a healthy bunch of microbes and more volume of amended soil soil to provide nutrients for your plants. Maybe you could move into bigger pots with some more fresh soil right about...

You can get individual boards and drivers if you want to. They have more diodes that a Cob or Strip, so boards cost a little more. If you go through a top notch manufacturer (Gavita/Timber/HLG) you get a 3 year warranty.

Did you mean to say your last bag was 30 microns? You might consider just not using that bag when you make hash. With a 30 micron bag you may just be catching mostly chlorophyll while all the good stuff is up in the 70 micron bag.

Roots Organics includes (non GMO) soybean meal in their "Uprising" dry fertilizers and their "Terp Tea" dry/tea brewing fertilizers. Roots and Down to Earth also sell straight up soy bean meal too.

Look out, Ferengi!

Cloth dry out fast and are difficult to remove for re-potting. For these reasons I think small cloth pots( under 7-10 gallons) are Terrible. Cloth pots are cheaper than plastic and you can do convenient stuff like put the cloth pot in a tray and dump water in to bottom water really easy. Or you...
