    Is this soil mix ok???

    Yes, exactly! The original recipe I was give was 4-6 cups, but ime, and I have heard from a couple of people, there isn't much difference between 2 and 4 cups. Peace! P-

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    The first thing I noticed was smoking synthetic gave me respiratory problems. I haven't had that issue since switching to organics. The smoke is smooth and doesn't burn my throat. I don't smoke cigarettes, but it always makes me wonder what organic tobacco would be like. Would it cause cancer...

    Is this soil mix ok???

    Cut out the lime. You don't have any raw peat which is when you would really need the lime as a pH buffer. I don't have a lot of experience with Azomite, it's also not my first choice, but if you are going to use it, I'd go closer to 1/2-1c per cu ft. Neem meal is great, ratio is good. If you...

    Water Only Soil?

    DP, I don't know of any done on cannabis specifically. If I come across anything I will let you know. I often think about this. For how much longer, or even now, can we call stuff from the sea organic? Glorious times indeed. P-

    Water Only Soil?

    This is from Coot: If you can get your hands on alpaca manure then that would be the one I would suggest you go with because even organic horse operations have to use various vermicides which is especially true if the horses spend a lot of time in pastures and are dining on the native or planted...

    Water Only Soil?

    I'd be really shocked if they came from organic birds. Unless it specifically says different, I'd expect all of your slaughter house byproducts come from animals that were not organic. Keep this in mind when buying blood meal, bone meal, fish bone meal, feather meal, etc. Do you want the blood...

    Super Soil + additional nutes?

    There is no doubt in my mind the mites do WAY more damage on chemical fed plants than the organic system I'm using now. Back in the day when I was using miracle grow, mites would literally take my garden down. I had cycles where I had to wipe everything out, bleach the walls down, etc. (wish...

    so seriously, does pH and organics go together??

    Why would adding ewc/vermicompost at the top of your pots be beneficial when you have ewc in the entire mix? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsoil Topsoil is the upper, outermost layer of soil, usually the top 2 inches (5.1 cm) to 8 inches (20 cm). It has the highest concentration of organic...

    so seriously, does pH and organics go together??

    Sounds like you and your uncle are already professional growers, so I'll cut to the chase. Plenty of people use a variety of organic mixes without ever checking ppm's or pH. Organics isn't to blame here, this is a user error. Back to the drawing board Boris... P-

    Are you using a mulch?

    so seriously, does pH and organics go together??

    That there is your problem. Microlife does not like dry, dry, dry. I'm not sure where you got the second quote, but this is my take on it. The microbe life/plant exudes will keep the soil pH just where they want them in hospitable environments. If you are growing in 50% dolo lime are the...

    Recycled Organic Living Soil (ROLS) and No Till Thread

    I still say hit them with a good amount of castings. It's the microbes in the castings that you are really looking for. Add an inch or two of castings, cover with mulch, water them in, and you will be seeing green leaves very quickly. I have also been known to sprinkle some amendments inbetween...
