Biolive is solid. Biolive, peat, compost, preferably not bagged,and some lime. Water in some fish emulsion couple times throughout the grow. You’ll grow some great plants with that mix

Who cares about the classification, if it works for you. If you included some compost in your mix you may see some better results or you may not. Would be a good test. Are you reusing the the promix or just mixing new batch eAch time ?

You must be stalking me lol u just described my exact grow to a “ T “, but compost Malibu’s best compost is hands down the highest quality compost u can buy or make there’s just nothing else like it anywhere they use their own dairy cows as far as I know there the only ones anywhere that don’t use regular cows

I'll add that the downside to natural ups and downs like vinegar, lemon juice, or baking soda, is they tend to slowly lose their effect on Ph, so if you're mixing up water early like I do, be sure to ph it again before you use it.

Use pure worm castings to cook your amendments. Worms produce an enzyme that repels pests.
I use their entire line up for a water only living soil.
Bat guano, neem seed meal, crab meal, seabird guano, kelp meal, gypsum, humic acid, langbeinite, azomite, feather meal, alfalfa meal, fish bone meal, and rock phosphate. A little goes a long way! I add twice as much bat guano to all other ingredients. To date I add the amendments at the recommended amounts except for the bat guano; x2. Let it cook for 4 to 6 weeks. They also have water soluble products and liquid fertilizers. Add their root zone when transplanting. Down to earth offers the best soil amendments and organic fertilizers.
