Im doing it right now but not putting much effort into it. Im trying to slowly go back to organics. Right now i just got a used batch of FFOF that i play with. I feel comfortable using it again after about 3 months of sitting with amendments and turning it a lot. (You KNOW its good when the old roots are all gone)
Ya i just got back into since 2013 or so lol few weeks left on my 1st girl , not sure when but soon I'm going to tru and mix some and use it In grow after next maybe do a side by side for my own experience and what not. Thanks I got a few organic mixes off of here I will play around with someday nomore synthetic nutes
ive learned to not be so against synthetic food but im with ya , i want water only if possible.
I read half ffof and half 420 eb stone with perlite is a good mix , the post said the eb stone has few things that makes a solid mix
Just buy some Canadian spagnum peat moss, pumice, and high grade hummus/ewc/compost and make your own base soil by adding each of these main 3 into 1/3. Make sure to keep track of your cubic ft.
Bas craft blend and ewc! They're the shit!
And perlite
Switch out the coco coir with Pumice (lava rock) coco coir is inert and gives no benefits really to the microbial life in soil. Pumice will provide great aeration, ground your plant better than perlite, and has minerals beneficial to your microbes.
I posted earlier with Canadian spagnum peat moss, pumice, and ewc/ compost hummus in 1/3 for base soil right above your post.1/2 ewc... you're gonna need the other half to be aeration.
Lol I'm just playin. Do your thing!
Definitely check out malted barley as a enzyme boost for your soil.Lol I'm just playin. Do your thing!
Coco is not inert. it has great moisture holding abilities and can grow microbes. (one would have to assume that its better then peat because the ph is much better. ) Also the coco has a much much bigger surface area then lava rock. Allowing more microbial activity.
Yup , thats what i was thinking. i was thinking 50/50 would last longer but it probably wont perform as well as a 1/3 mix would.1/2 ewc... you're gonna need the other half to be aeration.
Yea, it most likely would last longer, but not long enough to outweigh the benefit of aeration to the roots.
