Oh yea just as a precaution don't set your foliar spray next to the Simple Green and then take a Big Ass Hit and accidentally Blast your plants with Simple Green I washed em down good but man that was a close call. Freakin Retard.....

Don't worry. When you knock a bowl of lemon juice into your mother's container, I'll issue you a membership card. My soil was at like 3.5 while I scrambled to flush...YEEEAAA.

LC’s Soiless Mix #1:

5 parts Canadian Spaghnam Peat or Coir or Pro-Moss
3 parts perlite
2 parts wormcastings or mushroom compost or home made compost
Powdered (NOT PELLETIZED) dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
...Wal-Mart now sells worm castings.

Or, if you use Pro Mix, Sunshine Mix or Fox Farm mixes...

LC's Soiless Mix #2:

6 parts Pro Mix BX or HP / Sunshine Mix (any flavor from #1 up) / Fox Farm Ocean Forest or Light Warrior
2 parts perlite
2 parts earthworm castings
Powdered (NOT PELLETIZED) dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
If you use a 3 qt. saucepan as “parts” in the amounts given above, it equals about 1 cu. ft. of soiless mix and you can just dump in a cup of powdered dolomite lime.
But, a "part" can be anything from a tablespoon to a five gallon bucket. Just use the same item for all of the "parts".


Guano Tea and Kelp:

Seedlings less than 1 month old nute tea mix-
Mix 1 cup earthworm castings into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
Add 5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses.
Use it to water your seedlings with every 3rd watering.

Veg mix-
1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Use it to water with every 3rd watering.

Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Use it to water with EVERY watering.

You can use queen size knee high nylon stockings for tea bags. 3 pair for a dollar at the dollar store. Tell 'em you use them for paint strainers. Put the recommended tea in the stocking, tie a loop knot in it and hang it in your tea bucket. The tea should look like a mud puddle. Agitate the bag in the water vigorously. An aquarium pump and air stone will dissolve oxygen into the solution and keep the good bacteria (microherd) alive and thriving. Let it bubble a day or two before you use it. If you find you are making too much tea and having to throw it out, use 2 1/2 gallons of water and cut the nute amount by half.

3 different soil mixes....too many choices for a mere man like me!! I really want to go organic, but which one ....lol

I have a question about folair feeding. Can I give the girls nutes this way? I'm having a bit of an issue at the moment. This is the first time I've ever put two different batches of plants into the tubes at two different times. The plants that are 2 weeks into 12/12 are looking just about right. However, the plants I just put in are looking quite N starved. I usually give them a good dose of veg nutes the first week of 12/12... but everything on the same rez, so that's not going to happen.

So is it possible to put a veg nute mix in my spray bottle and just feed the girls lacking in N?

If so, what strength should it be?

Thanks

I've had good luck with General Organics Seaweed mixed at 1/4 strength. Gives NPK in a gentle amount plus beneficials which stay behind after the water is absorbed/evaperates. I'm sure ANY powdered seaweed meal with micro's will due just as well, just remember to mix at a weak strength, or foliage burn awaits...

Foliar feeding is your best bet IMO jig. The plant can actually take it in quicker than through the roots.

Exit: this way to don't throw off you other plants. In the future I'd suggest using 2 resses.

Seaweed is high in k, not n.
