I started growing about 15 months ago and knew right away that organic was too hard for me. I switched to coco and and bottled nutrients and saw a major improvement. I've done a lot of internet research and found that advice and info can vary quite a bit. Some sent me down the wrong path. If you want some real science, check out Dr. Bruce Bugby on YouTube. He is by far the most informative of any grower and rightly so, he's a professor that teaches medicinal cannabis cultivation. Talks about lighting, nutrients, soil/medium, Temp, humidity, in a very practical way.
If this grow works out the way it looks like it will, my yield is going to be at least double what I've done before. These plants are by far the biggest I've ever grown and to say they are vigorous would be an understatement. Check out my diary that I started just a little while ago. I started documenting late, already into flower. But my next grow I'll do from the beginning. I wish I could do outdoor. :)
Keep up the good fight man, if you can master organic, you're a rock start in my book.
P.S. I started brewing hard apple cider and put the vessel right next to my tent where the co2 can get sucked right into the tent. Cider and a little co2 boost? Yes please! lol

For sure, after doing more research on living soils, It definitely isn't fair to call mixing some amendments into FFOF a living soil. I have an outdoor girl in a 15-gallon pot with buildasoil 3.0 living soil mix, and that girl has been super happy. I want to get to a point where I can just reuse good organic soil over and over. Once again I appreciate the help and advice!
<span class="link_user">@GreenGrows365</span>, Good call on the humidifier.
Unless you are flooding the soil with silica, it shouldn't cause burn. It's basically nothing but beneficial. Next time you put soil together, consider putting vermiculite in there. Then you won't really need to add silica. I use Bloom City Silica boost in coco which does have a little potassium in there too and it's plant ready. Not sure if you are able to, but find a way to check your soil pH. If it's above 6.8 you could be locking out some nutrients.. Organic soil is tricky for me so I stick with coco and conventional nutes.
<span class="link_user">@Kynareth</span>, Well, thank you. It's been a huge confidence boost to see them do so well. I'm really hoping these flower as aggressively as they vegged...:grinning:
