Sometimes they end up a bit rough. Sometimes I top-dress, other times I should have top dressed but didn’t. This round should have been top dressed but I never did. Yes this is all done in a “living” organic soil-less mix.
I detail my usual processes in these posts, give or take the occasional variation. I don’t think it’s the best way to grow but it is the best way to grow for me. Getting to see a lot of variety is more valuable to me than yield.
