how long does this stuff take to break down? roughly. And also I've made a ss mix 30% sphagnum peat, 30% perlite and 30% ewc.


I've amended with garden lime, fish bone meal, alfalfa, neem, crab, azomite, kelp and plant tone.

I've tested my ph today and the readings were ranging from below 3 to 4.5 highest. (my reader doesn't read below 3, it just says "lo" after 3.) Is this gonna raise when it all is cooked and broken down..?

Soiless means it's inert. No nutrients no microbes. Your Mix Is Not soiless

The bone meal and azomite takes 2 months to break down. The garden lime takes a little over a year to break down. Everything else takes about a month to break down.

Don't worry about ph. It has no place in organics. The crab meal and ewc will take care of it

what if I layer the soil with some FFOF OR FFHF? like, doing the bottom half of the pot super soil and plant my root ball in either two bagged soil in the top half of the pot. only reason I'm trying to rush cause I planted my seeds friday and they're already popping through the soil. 2 of my 5 sprouted today. maybe the better question is how long can my seedlings stay in a peat, perlite and ewc mix before they need nutes?

1: The little seedling will take a few weeks to root out that solo cup anyway. Light feed it some Organic veg - like Age Old liquid at half strength once it's got about 3 weeks on it and let it sit till yer soil's done..
2: I would only cook the soil for 4 weeks!
3: I would add something with some more N,,,short term and long. Sea bird or bat guano, maybe some comfrey leaf....

You got a couple of weeks for the cups. Just use regular bag soil to finish vegging then use your blended for flowering when you transplant. it will buy you a few weeks

where do I get that organic veg stuff? and I'm not sure on how to get half strength? and you're saying to add some more n to my soil or to my seedlings.

vegging is not that hard. your current mix would probably work. It is when they flower that they start demanding more of everything.

My father is a mopar guy. My 2nd classic car was a '71 charger. It had cancer pretty bad so I sold it and bought a foxbody mustang and built an engine. I am looking into some stingray corvettes now. Mustangs are economy hotrods and they are hard to sell at a higher price.

I use bag soil that is less than half the cost of FFoF and the bag is 2x the size. I am saying that the soil is nothing special at all and I put my clones in it until I am ready to flower.
