Hey there cannabliss, Thanks for stopping by. Ya, Ive been using a special “house mix” from a popular nursery here in town. Same stuff since day # 1… I have tried all kinds of soil, but i keep going back. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” ya know…lol The guy who owns the joint is an old school hippy, and he’s been fine tuning his soil constantly over the years…It is not thick and muddy like organic soil, this stuff is light and airy with lots of perlite… Almost like coco, but more “girthy”… About 7 bucks a bag for a cubic foot, which isnt too bad at all. Im really not into organics. Seems like my plants lose at least half of the “yield” everytime I run anything organic… organic soil, or organic nutes. I know some of you will frown, but I have experimented a zillion times… Just gotta make sure to run lots of clean water the last 2 weeks. I dont pour a shit load of water down the pots the last 2 weeks, i just stop the ferts altogether, and give them filtered water from a pura filter apparaus off my sink.Supposed to be like ro, but, i think thats pushing it… In the end the smoke is clean, and the taste is superb!.. Gotta remember, the plant doesn’t know if its organic or synthetic…lol Yup, this is how I roll, and as you can see, she looks pretty darn healthy. I’m not changing a thing. Im all about keeping things ultra simple around here. When you over-think things and use all them stupid additives, and fancy boosters, and whatever else, the health of the plant goes down, and fast! I see it everyday… Not falling into that pit anymore. Took me decades to smarten up, and as you can see, Im doing something right… The proof’s in the pudding, as I always say. Pictures dont lie. Have a good one
P.S. I wanna add something here… I think alot of my plant success is due to the switching of ferts or nutrients each time I water/feed. I use Jacks classic blossom booster, or their 20-20-20, or maybe their Professional Hydroponic nutes along with with their calcium nitrate, or the Lucas method. Thats all i use! … Simple simon, with excellant results. Give em a nice menu, and there happy! Who wants to eat the same old food day after day?? Plants enjoy a variety, just like us!
K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid) …
