Holy's Garden (Part 1)

Oh interesting! My tap water is around pH 9 :thinking:

lol Thanks! ^^

I haven’t ran any soil in a couple years but when I was, I ran a super soil, so I only watered with tap.

Hydro is ~2grams gypsum and ~5grams maxibloom per gallon depending on the plant.
Veg is bottom feeding in trays, I just make sure there is a ~1/4 inch of water in there at most times.
Flower is flood and drain on a 5min timer 2x a day.

Not so much ‘out of the box’ as I would add stuff from boxes into it :sweat_smile:
I was running an old mix @ReikoX found on ICMAG awhile back.

TLDR;

Base Mix
7.5 gallons of peat moss
4.5 gallons of perlite
3 gallons of fresh EWC or compost
2.5 cups of dolomite lime

Ammend with
2 cups bone meal
1 cup blood meal
1 cup kelp meal
1 cup greensand (optional)

Let it ‘cook’ for a good 3-5 weeks before use.

I was when I was using soil and I would amend it between grows as well. Long as you know your plants are clean, I didn’t see any reason not to. I wanna say I would amend with alfalfa meal, crab meal… forgetting… Soil stuff I’d look at some one else lol, like Reiko or otherwise. SIP’s also seem like a really good way to go rather than pots and all that and likely where I’ll go if I ever go back to soil. Check out @CrunchBerries thread for that. There’s some other’s around too.

I do reuse my coco/perlite as long as, again, I know my plants are clean. No bugs or anything else, if so, it’s trash or compost depending on the cause.

Most likely :joy: Should be less allergic too I’d think :thinking: but hopefully doesn’t get too fuzzy over there :grin:
