I'm going to start a batch of clones with the same mix. 1 cup epsoma garden tone to 3 gallons of soil. Top dress with 1-2 inches of mixed soil and ewc.
So they will be getting vermi tea basically.
I might do .25 tsp to gallon of Epsom salts in the water I give them.
I don't think Epsom salt will hurt the bennies....
When I up pot to five gallon the will have additional amended soil and I will probably top dress with a tablespoon of garden tone and a cup of ewc.

I forgot, 4 weeks into flower I will top dress with garden tone again.
That should get them through a 9 week with a slight fade.
That's the plan anyways. I'm still learning.

12/12 day 19 - Raspberry Montage x BBP
They look pretty happy right now. I will be switching them to full bloom here soon.
I'm not sure what is going on with the organic gal. Maybe overwatering? I dunno. She's been going a looong time without water tho. Not sure if it's because organic drinks water slower???
She looks mostly happy. What do you guys think?

I decided fuck promix hp. It has caused too many problems. The peat is ground too fine. Caused my roots to suffer. I have been changing a bit of everything trying to figure this stuff out but I just hate it. I'm going back to pro mix ultimate and it's fluffiness.
My bag smells like ammonia too. So to home Depot I go tomorrow.
I'll be grabbing some things for my organic mix too.
So my mix will be:
3 gallons Promix Ultimate
33% perlite
10% ewc
1 cup garden tone
6 tbsp azomite

It might of been my fault. Getting careless or distracted.
I don't like the particle size of the HP peat tho. Very very fine. It looks like mud when it settles.

@BobBitchen helped me with this issue. He pre-moistens his promix so it doesn't settle so badly when it is watered.
I was amazed at how much water I could add to the dry Promix before it was wet enough.
I just checked on my clones in the Promix and they are still nice and moist
The only problem I have with Promix is when it dries out and you try to water it. It shrinks away from the sides and the water just runs to the drain holes.
I solved this problem by either putting the container in a bigger container and flooding the promix, or dunking the plant and container in a big bucket of water. It is so funny to watch the Promix absorb the water like a sponge when it is soaked.
I have noticed it works better with cloth pots also.

Oh dang. I haven't been prewetting lately.@BobBitchen helped me with this issue. He pre-moistens his promix so it doesn't settle so badly when it is watered.

I always go over all my plants with a couple liters of water before I give them the nutrient solution.
And the reason I water nearly every other day is to prevent the peat from becoming hydrophobic.
I think you're doing just fine Pie, I'm glad you made a thread!

So prewet then add the amendments? Or premix amendments then wet?

By amendments, do you mean the epsoma garden tone and castings?
When I mixed my living soil I prewet the peat, it expanded from the compressed bale, then I added all my amendments and let it compost for about two months, occasionally wetting and turning.
What do you mean amendments?
Sorry, just trying to understand

The aloha mother is looking super sad.
The soil around her roots is soggy and compacted. I removed her from her pot and placed her in the dark.
I am going to let her dry out a bit and breathe before I take clones to start over in new soil.

Damn me for forgetting to wet and fluff the pro-mix first. Damnit!
My roots are suffering! Well, I will be taking clones in a couple days. I removed her from her planter so the root zone could get some oxygen.
The soil is very compacted. The bottom inch is soggy soggy soggy.

She looks green still. I am hoping she will give me healthy cuts.
I bought a large 4 cubic bag of perlite, a 2lb bag of azomite, and some extreme mykos. Pair that up with my EWC and garden tone. Should be microbe heaven.
This is my 100 dollar jump into organics. I hope she takes care of me.
