I had planned on using yucca extract with this grow but unfortunately it will not arrive until 2-3 weeks. This stuff is hard to come by these days so I'll just have to do without for a few weeks. This gal is slow out of the gate but it has been only 7 days so no worries yet. Because of isolation and delays all over the world, my Spider Farmer SF4000 which is for this 4 plant run is at customs waiting to be cleared. I am using Electric Sky ES180 first generation for veg. Not ideal for four plants but their small fortunately and I should have my new light next week when the growth really takes shape. I wish all my growmies great strength during this challenging time. To all the Frontline Health Care Workers and to the volunteers whom are brave souls for all their sacrifices during this pandemic. THANK-YOU I'm praying for you!! To all the responsible people doing the right thing and staying home. THANK-YOU stay Strong!! stay Safe!! You're making a difference too!! Last but not least Grow Diaries has giving me peace of mind and a place that I can get away from it all with some fantastic growmies to share my experiences with. A Big THANK-YOU you're my place to grow!! Stay safe growmies until next week!!
Keep em popping

Hello 👋
I was curious with using the dry amendments, have you tried to do an ec or ppm test of the soil before or after adding any ingredients?
If you take a couple ounces of the soil and mix them with distilled water, let it sit for 24 hours and then strain through a coffee filter till clear, you can test that water to understand the ppm of the soil.
Unfortunately if you're growing "organically " the elements haven't yet been broken down so the ppm reading wouldn't be accurate.
@WeedTheNorth, i love this podcast by kisorganics.com the cannabis cultivation and science podcast. It's a lot of organic people on it and great info. Give it a listen sometime
@Experimentgreen,very resourceful information. I thought I should ask to be sure. I do appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. All the best!! 🇨🇦😎👏🙏
@WeedTheNorth, so if you're not using any bottled nutrients, just dry additions then you should be ok to apply the same as a photoperiod, maybe just less often though. I say this because in an organic soil condition you've built all the microorganisms to do their jobs, if mycorrhizal fungi/ bacteria/ etc are in place they will break down, consume, dispose. Its like a tiny factory at work where everyones employee of the month. Lol
However if you are using any of these organics as a foliar spray....that i would dilute at a lower rate, 1/4 strength to start.
I'm not sure if the 8000 ppm was wholly accurate, also do you water with distilled or tap water? If tap, consider that water has a ppm value already before adding nutrients.
