Every no-till grow in begins with a soil test, so I know exactly what the plants need. Anything else is guess work. My Soil Savvy soiil test gives me a recommended amount per 100sqft, but I only have 9sqft (3x3ft soil bed). So I simply divide by 10. I find that doubling the recommendation works well because cannabis is a hungry plant. I went with 100g Seabird Guano, 30g Neem Seed Meal, and 20g Kelp Meal. Then 2 cups of basalt for micronutrients.
The great part of no-till is that I only have to fertilize once per grow!
I move the mulch aside, and top-dress the amendments onto the soil, along with some cover crop seeds. I gently stir the top 1 inch of soil just to help the seeds get in there, careful not to disturb the deeper fungal networks in the soil. Then I water with my reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water. I cover the soil to help the cover crop germinate while the cannabis germinates.
For this grow I will only germinate one seed of Limon Blanco V3 by Khalifa genetics. I sprinkle a little mycorrhizal fungi powder onto the seed to inoculate the roots from an early age.
