My First Outdoor Auto Grow

@CRiSPrGrow, cool thanks for the info dude good lookin out growmie

@Plan1Thr33, you got it growmie. i've seen the whole soiless things a thousand times , really and i've even done it myself (almost) with peat and coco, it's confusing. but the second thing i've seen a thousand times if folks thinking homemade stuff is somehow a lot weaker than it is, you should never use your compost, teas and other types of amendments undiluted , they're stronger than you might think ! by the way i've also seen the opposite problem with home made stuff like lemon juice and vinegars that arent stable (and are there actually less strong than you might think) . it's all about getting the ropes of this whole thing right , it takes a few tries and it takes a few thinking session to optimise all the parameters. You're absolutely right about the "time lag" you experience with between adding teas and seeing the effects though, you're starting to wrap your head around the whole thing but it's not easy , that's for sure. check your lables on the soil usually they'll have the composition of it in the ingredients list (look up the NPK ratio it's at as well 😉)

@CRiSPrGrow, yeah it actually did quite abit, thinking about it you could be partly right with the soil side im using chips yes but only as drainage at the bottom of the pot but you could still be right with the soil being too hot, because i AM running my soil with mostly composted kitchen, garden and grow waste with an added living soil replenish mix to bulk the soil with nutes for all the micros as i was trying to build an actual living soil that i also soaked down regularly with Fungal Tea to aid composting and charge the soil - so im guessing there may still be composting material that hasnt fully degraded yet causing it to still be abit raw for the plant? I dunno
