Hey Growmies!
Welcome back to my mini garden! ;)
This time I'm trying a sponsored seed drop from Divine Seeds! Respect ๐ค
The growing medium:
1. 25% Reused ATAMI Janeco Light Mix
2. 30% Extra perlite
3. 30% Home made compost
4. 14% worm castings 8-7-6
5. 0.5-1% home cooked beef/fish bone meal
6. 2 tablespoon of EPSOM salt
Continuously working to improve my mix and learning/experimenting with organics.
The grow box, is the same DIY cardbox/mylar combo 45x45x140cm. + 6 pcs of 12V 120mm PC fans for airflow.
The light is a rack of 7 pcs of E27 sockets. Filled with regular 1000/1500lumen Osram/Philips LED bulbs, diffusor removed. 4000k at veg phase, then 2700K at bloom.
Watering with carbon filtered water this time.
