Long time hydro grower clueless on organics and going a modified coots mix.
Legal outdoor grow.
(12) 10gal fabric pots
Southeastern MA
Looks like ill need 16CF of mix so current base is the following:
8CF CSPM
5CF Rice Hulls
3CF Earthworm Castings
Water source is tap water at 6.7pH and 80ppm. Should I run through a chloramine filter?
Now the amendments is confusing…i had heard Neem cake meal, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, crab meal, basalt rock sand, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate from oyster shell flour
Also want to make kelp and alfalfa seed teas and top feed and foliar feed. Unsure of frequency.
Aloe juice for transplant
What else am I missing? Anything I should or shouldnt do differentlt?
Do I use the 1 cup of the amendments per CF. Ive heard 1/2 to 1 cup. And 3 cups of sand per CF.
Past 3 years outdoors in MA have had a ton of rain September and October so plan is to get a party tent and try and shield plants from rain as much as possible. My worry is this coming airborne and breaking something outside neighboring houses
