OK here we go.. so I've been growing close to 4 years now, I've always used synthetic nutrients. I tried peat, I tried coco and lately I've been growing in my home made rdwc system. Now that it's outdoor season I feel like it's time to adventure outside of my comfort zone and try my hand at an all organic grow. I'd like to say I planned this out, I'd like to say I came in well equipped for said adventure but I'm honest or was a last minute decision followed by a full amazon shopping cart full of gaia green products. That being said I was a little late to get my seeds dropped, even later to start cooking my soil. Don't pay attention to the nutrients listed above, I'll share my recipe next week open for criticism of course... i am a organoob afyerall. Infact, my living soil still has a good 2 weeks of cooking left. Despite a nice layer of fungal feathering the top I've got some uninvited friends. Fungus gnats seem to be enjoying my living soil, I'll be making a mosquito bit tea to get rid of the little savages before it becomes a problem but more on that next week. So in the meantime I've got these little sprouts in some promix organic herb and veg. Well this week it looks like they're starting to get hungry, the advertised "don't feed for 3 months" on the bag of promix was greatly exaggerated. That's fine.. I'm excited to try my first batch of aerated compost tea. I've attached the recipe I used (tweaked somewhat) in the pictures for your viewing pleasure. Please join me on this slightly uncomfortable journey into the unfamiliar world of organics, I'd love to hear your feedback! Happy growing

Congrats on trying outdoor organic growing. This is my fourth year growing too and we likely both started after legalization. One thing you might also try next year is adding Humalite (Black Earth Products, only mined in Alberta) which is nearly coal but about 65% humic acid. Like Leonardite if you’ve heard of that one as a HA source but formed in a freshwater geologic setting. Seemed to help, as does malted barley as a top dressing as flowering starts.
