It looks like you have enough stuff in there to have all the bases covered. Your ingredients look pretty similar to what I would mix up. Everyone has their personal favorite ingredients or extras, like rock dust, crab shell or alfalfa to recommend. I like crab shell, when its gone, I know...

I've never used the Roots Organic soil myself, so take this for what's its worth; I feel like you should be able to top dress your plants with more of roots organic soil as the soil in your pot becomes depleated. When you water through it, the nutrents in the "new" soil should trickle down...

https://www.rollitup.org/organics/489147-what-causes-gold-spots-after.html This is a thread from a couple weeks ago. The guy who posted today decided he was using too much seaweed in his tea. I've had similar problems in the past; plants look mostly healthy, except for those wierd...

what did they tell you?

the Cool-Tube would allow you to hang your bulb vertically, if you werei nterested in a verticle grow.

I used a bag of the Miracle Grow Organic Choice a year and a half ago. It was really light and fluffy, and was moist without feeling really wet. It seemed like it was mostly peat moss. The price was rigth, I mixed it with a bag of Scott's topsoil and I used it for an entire grow. After that...

You could always sell weed that you didn't grow to pay the bills. I assume thats what you planeed to do with some of your crop? Surley, you know someone that could get you a couple ounces to start you off. Or you could live in your grow house, so you don't have to pay doubel rent...

I'm with you man, going out and finding new stuff to add to your own homemade soil mix is a lot of fun. I think your mix looks pretty good. You've got a pretty good mix of fast and slow acting fertilizers. If you're mixing 3 gallons of soil, I'd put maybe 2/3 a cup of the bone meal, blood...

First of all, that's a pretty good "perdicament" to be in. That said... I've got to agree with everyone who said white widow. Awesome buds, covered in crystals. But the flower time is kinda long. For the other one, I'd try the Northern Lights/Skunk. Northern Lights is a pretty big...

A broad leaved indinca? It may be LA Confidential. I'm growing Pineapple Express and LA Confidential right now. The seeds were ordered by a friend, but I don't know the name of the company. Anyway, if his came bundled togther, maybe yours did too?

Well, I just checked the bag again. I've been using "Epsom Plus" from Espoma. It's epsom salts with potassium added. It's 0-0-22, plus you get the magnmesium and sulfur from the salts. So, like you said, regular epsom salts don't have any K.

I'm not sure man. My bag says 0-0-22 on the front.

You can also use Epsom Salts for potassium. You can add some into your soil before you pot, or top dress with it. I guess you could dissolve some in water as well, but I've never tried that. You don't need much, probably just a table spoon per gallon if you're going to top dress. I'd...

You can get some Bone Meal very cheap. Espoma even makes some. Thats what I've been using. If you just want to give your young plants a little something, you can mix a top-dressing with a little bone meal. Stir it in to the top quarter inch of soil in your containers, and when you water, it...

Roo, good looking out. Thanks for citing my source.

I found this somewhere on the internet, I've been using Earth Juice for my soil grow, its working well so far. Which leads us to our “standard” full strength Earth Juice grow recipe. 1 to 2 TBSP Grow 1 tsp Bloom 1 tsp Catalyst (uniquely called Xatalyst here in Canada for some odd...

I've used that miracle grow organic choice soil as well. It worked out well for me. It's really fluffy, so I mixed it was some perlite and some cheap unfertilized potting soil, that I also got at Wal-Mart, and got a pretty good mix. As far as benefits, it's pretty cheap. For about $25 you...

Half way down this page is a pretty awesome chart, showing the N-P-K values of all sorts of stuff. http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/potmix.html

Haha. Sorry guys, I forgot to mention that I put some gravel in the bottom of the bucket. Lately, I've been lazy and use lava rocks from Home Depot. The K comes from the Epsom Salts. There are also small amounts in some of the other stuff. The kelp meal I use has a pretty high K value, plus...

You will do just fine in the 5 gallon bucket. I used almost exactly the same stuff for my first two grows. All stuff I could get at Walmart or Home Depot. Except I didn't have the worm castings. Do you plan to grow from clones or seeds? Will you grow in the bucket the entire time? If you...
