4/18/21. I'm using a 75/25 mix of Happy Frog/Pearlite with 2 Tbsp of Dolomite lime and 1cup of organic worm casings in a 3 gallon fabric pot. I made a 1 cup hole in the center of the soil and filled it with seed starter soil, soaked the starter soil and lightly sprayed the whole pot with distilled water. After dropping the seeds about a 1/4 inch deep I covered the starter soil with glass cups. Seed was sown on the evening of 3/17.
I'm using a spray mister to keep the top of the soil damp and the center wet. 2 or 3 times a day, or as needed.
I intend to use distilled water the entire grow letting the lime and Recharge microbes hold the PH of the soil between 6 and 6.5. I will be checking run-off with PH drops from time to time and adjust if needed.
I've used the lime/Recharge method to fix low PH in my current organic grow and it has worked well.
4/21/21, day 4. All three beans have broke ground. Not much to see. Crimson has unfurled her false leaves. Mellow and Sky are slill unwinding.
