Sounds like a winning mix…

Reminds me of this thread…These mixes were originally popularized here on Overgrow many years ago!

The wormcastings act like a nutrient uptake buffer …If you have issues make some worm casting tea …or top dress wormcastings…If you end up too hot

I like these basic mixes…I think pumice might work better than perlite if you can find it…Doesnt float round as much…Got your rock and aggregate workin’ for you!

@herbgreen Thanks a Zillion for that Link… So nice to have several options from the get-go, and also nice to see I’m pretty darn close to a Ready-mixture.

Will make good use of the Thread bro. Thanks again

The Sand is steadily climbing my priority list. Ever since we proved my Buddies lot has 70% sand, and it only grows Monsters, year after year.
Don’t be shy with sand, we’ve been adding it this summer with each amendment, in all other locations… assisting drainage and adding micro-elements

Yeah, that was one basic thing I remember reading about cannabis before weed books…

The encyclopedia said something about sandy soil

Nothing to Report, other than its Happened !
3 of each. Looking for a healthy Female from each of these lines. None of the strains are Old Seeds, so no agents have been added to the water. No Seeds in a Sand-paper Box… We’re gonna float them

Haha thanks.

Although I’m making seeds with them, I hope to get some material to make some bubble hash out to get a taste of what it could be without being seeded.
I will try to run them out for flower in a couple runs as the 20+ week really does feel like an eternity. :joy:

The Central American varieties lately have been getting me excited. Nostalgic factor for my older family that would enjoy it and the lower flowering times on them. 14-16 weeks.

I will eventually try to get my hands on some Panama red, Oaxacan, Acapulco gold and some others too after I run some more seeds.
