We are at week 3 now. A lot of development, i have not used liquid nutes this week, it is raining a lot so no water needed, thus no liquid nutrients.
I have top feed of dry nutrients mix, basically a mixture of a super soil recipe that usually is used within to make a hot soil:
I mix all tue ingredients together and use it gradually about 40g as a powder, in the top of the soil.
- Azomite 500g
- Natural fosfate 500g
- Biochar 1kg
- Bokashi 1kg
-Kelp meal 500g
-Mamona meal 1kg
-chicken meal 1kg
-Potassium silicate 500g
-Gypsum farm 500g
-Diatomaceous earth 500g
Mix all keep it in a soil bag, this pure mix and use it once every month.
The companion plants have emerged and will protect the soil humidity mainly.
@CANNASIM, I get it.Im going to address my plants with a cover crop for the purposes of water retention in the upper half.Im a bottom waterer and it totally makes sense.Thanks my friend for your sharing!
@Crabtreestreehouse, i have bought a companion mix, basically it works synergetic with the soil, besides providing a layer of humidity retention, so the soil does not get dry. It helps fixate the nitrogen, oxygenate the soil and amplify the living matter as well. The mix contains the following seeds mixed:
Common Vetch, Rye, Ukrainian Oats, Black Oats, Forage Turnip, Crambe, Buckwheat
In the technique i'm using i'm keeping them alive thru out the cycle and cropping gradually the top as they stretch, so shaving them gradually, there are those that crop them once a month and replant, and you can plant them, 15 days or so before moving your main culture to the vase, so they become a top layer and are reabsorbed to the soil, and then you replant the mix.
They tend to stretch a lot and fast, so your main culture have to be in a strong fashion so it is not covered by the cover mix, hope this makes sense.
