Update: Did a 1:1 slurry test on the tupur royal gold (ala stealth grows) and found ph at 4.8. Amended enough for my 1st up-pot. Hopefully, amendments will raise ph some. Very little info online. Waiting on a callback from tupur.

Update: spoke with royal gold rep in CA about low ph of tupur. Said tuper should be 5.0-5.5 out of the bag. Recommended I sweeten with a couple tbsp/gal of dolomite lime which I did today. Found fungus already growing in the 2 gallons I amended with DE a couple days ago for my expected up-pot in a week or two. Also sent me out a box of samples of their organic lineup as well as some swag. Two 1lb bags each of grow, bloom, and booster. Not sure when I'll get around to trying it but was pretty awesome of them.

Day 37 (SAT)

Really impressed with Dr Earth. We are just Cruising along. Running two different feed schedules, 2 week and 3 week. When top dressing I do add 1 cup of quoddy blend compost and 1 plant is getting EWC @1 tblsp per gallon. Adding BMC every watering and keeping sticky cards up destroyed the gnats. This is life. No ph pens, tds meters or mixing part a+b+l+m+n+o+q lol. Just water and go!

Awesome grow.

I have to disagree with your a+b-c+d description of non organic growers.

I use peat. I measure 3 ingredients that never change and are the same dose from seedling to harvest. No metering of ph, ppm/ec. Straight tap water and my 3 ingredients every time.
I guess ya can say I grow with salts but enjoy the ease of a organic grow. If ya put together the right formula ya can have it just as easy as you organics guys.

The medium full of organic material is converting what is within to the same ingredients I present with salts. Only with salts I feel I have more control of what's passing through the medium and whats being picked up by the plant.

We all do it differently but getter done. I'm impressed with your methods and super excited to see ya embrace the training side of growing.

I promise I'll shut up about the salts/organic thing..lol. Ya got a nice organics thread going here. I just wanted to let ya know there's alternatives out there and to me neither is better than the other. It's really just a personal preference of the grower.

Just to make it clear. I'm really talking to the passerby, the novice and window shopper. Dr Earth is readily available and easy-to-use. I started with Jacks 321 a long time ago, it's fire! Today I'm moving in a different direction and wanted to share my experience. Also create a space for others that are utilizing Dr Earth or a mix thereof. Absolutely there is no one-size-fits-all approach to growing, each method has its strengths.

This is not a debate page about what is "better" Art will always be subjective.

Took the words right outta my mouth. Ive grown both ways too, and prefer organics because of the ease, which there are a few synthetic lines that dont require 10 bottles, i just dont like all the measuring and mixing thats involved. Both grow fire weed. Imo.
