If you have decided on soil, you will need to be certain to provided enough aeration for the roots. This is probably the biggest issue. Perlite, vermiculite and some kinds of volcanic rocks all work. Rice hulls work.
Roughly 30% Peat Moss, 30% aeration and 30% nutrients in the form of compost, minerals etc.
good day over grow community.
Needing pictures of your ingredients.
This is the recipe I use, itās a great starting point.
my 2cents: hydro is more $/labor, organic is more self-maintaining.
we havenāt asked if you have much budget(i am damn poor, myself).
i have changed recipes a lot & was having problems, so i went āback to basicsā and am using something close to the buildasoil 2-step method reikoās got for you-- butā
i gotta point out to everyone, thatās sure isnāt 2-steps for treedawg, heās doing things 1-handed
hereās 3 mixes iāve used, oldest to newest:
eliot coleman:
32qt commercial peat-lite mix / 24qt peatmoss + 8qt perlite
24qt compost
2cups fertilizer blend (equal parts: limestone, phosphate rock, greensand)
subcool2016:
and now iām having decent results with this mix:
50/50 peat/perlite + 4-4-4 organic āseedlingerās fertilixerā brand, azomite, oyster flour, mycos(great white). been using mammothP a bit too, but i might not again due to $.
the fertilizer was on sale and their website blows but itās good stuff, imo.
I also charge my coco before planting or transplanting.
ok my man my uncle helps me out.
I told you that you were going to get a lot of help here!
thank you for making me this spot.
No thanks needed, itās my pleasure brother!
