The possibility of using runoff, oxygenated, tested, adjusted to hydro levels and reused? Will it work or have I wasted money again?
Swvacountryboystarted grow question 3 years ago
I'm using my own mix of soil composed of approx. 30% advanced organics potting soil, 30% peat, 15% coco, 15% perolite, 10% .5x.5x.5 compost. I am using a drain table and 2- 40 gallon fabric pots, capturing all my runnoff into a large tote that is being oxygenated, will this work?

It sounds like you want to kinda run hydro but not really.
I think fabric pots with soil in it is considered drain to waste. The waste I call pee water. It’s not really meant to be recycled back in. I mean it has PPMs in it and yeah you could re PH it but you don’t really have an accurate idea of what those PPMs are.
I think you’re better off off controlling what you put in with fresh water and fresh feed solutions.
Anyway that’s what I think. Hope that helps. 🤙

With soil grows, you really shouldn't be water enough that you can reuse that water. With soil you water until you just have a little runoff.

Alternatives to Gaia Green dry amendments in Europe?I'd like to try slow-release dry amendments for my next grow. Mr. Canucks on Youtube uses Gaia Green for this, but unfortunately this brand is not available in Europe. The only equivalent I can find is livingsoilsfertiliser.com. Has anyone tried them or can suggest another brand?Week 6

adjusting ph level with BioBizz Light Mix and coco mixI have been adjusting my ph level to around 6.2-6.5. Now I'm wondering whether this was a mistake (see previous post), since I'm using BioBizz Light Mix (60%), coco coir (30%) and perlite (10%) as my substrate. Our tap water has a ph level of about 7.3.Week 5
