Hi guys!
New grower here, after 20 years of spending too much I've decided to grow!
I have a small setup, 250W sunmaster dual spectrum, carbon filter & extractor, and a small DS60 tent. Im using Tropic Bat Mix as my medium, in Rhizopot fabric pots (I have 3 sizes for potting on).
I've planted 1 seed to start (red cherry berry from barneys farm) and is now in early veg stages with some fan leaves starting to come through. All seems well, and have just watered again as i think the soil was almost fully dry.
I am wondering however, if i should still be using nutrients in the medium? This is the product i have: Link removed as im new!
This is the main part of the description of the medium:
• 60% fine grade Irish peat (holds a lot of water)
• 40% high quality coco (light & airy for rapid rooting)
• Fertilised with Guanokalong Bat Guano (bat manure)
• Packed with phosphorus
• Ramps up rooting
• Enhances flower formation
• Highly refined with stable pH (peat is pH 6 + contains magnesium limestone)
• Helps prevent deficiencies & improve nutrient uptake (contains Ca & Mg)
• No perlite (easy to dispose of) or woody bits (avoid fungus gnats)
• Cuttings can be transplanted straight into the media
• For first 2 weeks feed just add water
After the first 2 weeks I may pot on, depending on the growth, though if i pot on with fresh bat mix, will nutrients still be required? I dont have a PH tester or anything thus far, and was hoping to be more of a plant it, water it, leave it kinda guy, but I'm starting to get attached to the little thing and want the best for it!
Would you advise, with this batmix, getting further nutrients for the plant, even before the first two weeks of the new batmix is pretty much my question?
Thanks guys!
Adam
