I was also thinking that adding more peat and perlite could help get those numbers down some. With a ph of 6.58 I can afford to have the peat lower it a bit. Well water from tap is 34 ppm and I had been running into calcium deficiencies before I switched to making my own mix so I think I got...

Glad I came across your posts on soil testing. I have been having issues with my last couple runs of soil I made and decided to follow your lead and get a soil test. These reaults are after three runs and reammending at about 50% each time. As you can see most of my numbers are either too high...

Not trolling. When I make butter in the slow cooker I add water. When finished I strain it all through cheesecloth and let it separate in the fridge. Never made oil before so I wasnt sure if it was a similar process.

Do you add some water to the oil in crock pot?

Looking at my notes I did add more crab meal than I thought, kelp as well. Looks like I have plenty of K so im thinking Langbeinite should not be added either. In looking to add some P I have Seabird Guano 0-11-0 but that has calcium and my calcium numbers seem quite high already so Im thinking...

I wasnt too happy with my latest run so I went with the soil savvy test I have seen recommended. Yield was rather low and plants had early yellowing in flower. Also ran into some crispy leaf tips with the Dank Sinatra. Was wondering if anyone had some advice for me on going forward for next run...

Ever get to that kosher tangie?

Shoveled up a batch of fresh alpaca manure and while breaking it up to get ready to make a mix I noticed it has a ammonia/urine odor. In the past I have used older composted manure and it didnt have any of that odor. Will that be an issue? Planning to let this mix sit for a month or so.

Best post I have read on this site. I am happy you found it to help you. Props to Useful.

Was thinking about some 24K Gold aka Kosher Tangie on sale this weekend. It was excellent a couple years ago. Has that one gone to shit too?

How long is too long?

Just edited my list of goals for the rest of the year. "Get CD s1's and 79CTB" is in bold with a star next to it. Checking this thread daily.

Three Chocolate diesels left when I added 1 to cart. All were gone less than 30 seconds later when I checked out. : ( You guys have some fast fingers. Hoping that one comes around again someday.

The oyster shell is like powder. Down to Earth brand specifically. Just looking online it looks like home depot only has the pine bark nuggets. Lowes has both the nuggets and pine bark mulch. I saw in another thread you specifically said no to the nuggets. Not sure if these are as fine as you...

I realize this is an old thread but it is exactly what I just got a hold of. I was looking for an alternative to bagged cow manure from Home Depot and came across all the Alpaca manure I wanted. I was told that the area I was taking from was probably 3-4 years old. Its beautiful looking and I...

I picked up everything I (think I) need, except for Gypsum and Basalt which is on its way from KIS Organics. There is a ranch nearby with dozens of Alpaca's and I am going to try to get some manure from them. Also have access to lots of rabbit poop. Would those two be a better choice than...

Tayberries are excellent. Lots of very small thorns, be careful its kind of like grabbing the wrong part of a cactus. I grow them as well as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, boysenberries, marionberries (not to be confused with former mayor of DC), loganberries and mulberries. Also have...

I appreciate the reply. Langbeinite is the one I am most unsure about. I like your idea of cutting to 1/8 cup. Adding more is easy, taking back excess not possible. I know too much potassium can cause all kinds of problems. I was also thinking about maybe adding a bit more Kelp than 1/2 cup...

The amounts is where I could definitely use some help. Per cubic foot of my peat, perlite and compost/ewc mix I was thinking of adding the following: 1/2 cup Fish Bone Meal 3-16-0 1/2 cup Fish Meal 8-6-0 1/2 cup Crab Meal 4-3-0 1/2 cup Neem Seed Meal 6-1-2 1/2 cup Kelp Meal 1-0.1-2 1/4 cup...
