Well I read a bunch about soil and making your own closed-looped, utopian-perfect, organic medium; then decided I was too busy for all that and just made my own from a bunch of crap I purchased at Lowe's. At this point in my gardening career... easy is better. I moved all the plants to the "growroom" underneath the house. This was during the first week of December, the same time I was supposed to harvest my previous crop (first harvest ever). Well....long-story short, I ended up in the hospital for several days, my harvest dried out, and the ladies in this journal almost met their maker. The girls spent about three weeks recovering. They looked so bad that I didn't bother taking a picture. It was too upsetting. In the meantime I purchased the biggest growtent that would fit in my office, and bought a bunch more crap to bring these ladies to harvest.
Thoughts on providing enough nutrients in the soil for the plant to uptake as needed; rather than feeding while watering? According to Ed Rosenthal if you start with a rich enough medium, you don't have to feed. This is my current method, as I am still a noob. Gracias friends.
Hey ,
You can use rich soils out there or do a living soil of your own making. Usually the cheapest way is buying bulk ingredients from a farm supply store, feed and seed type place. The great thing with that is you can continually reuse your soil. However you'll need to reammend the soil after each grow.
As for making through a whole grow without needing to add anything....you might if it's a relatively short grow. But for longer grows you'll probably need some form of top dressing. Mr. Bs greentrees is a pre designed mix of veg or bloom. Or kisorganics.com has some good recipes/tips/and products for sale(dry products that feed over time).
Good luck.✌️
This is how I figure out my watering it only works if you can use a ppm meter. Example I mix my water solution to let’s say 1000 ppm’s I slowly add it to the plant until there is at least a cup of over run. I will take that water and test it again. Re measure the ppm’s most of the time it is about 180 ppm. That tells me my plant really only wants 800 ppm’s of nutrient solution. I adjust accordingly. This is just my method, I’m just saying
