Hi and Welcome Organic growers.

I am going to do a small auto flower grow this year and i have read the awesome Subcools soil recipe but i don't have all those products !

I am Limited to Ingredients so can you please help me out on my mix !?

I will probably start seeds in just peat moss, perlite and vermiculite or worm castings and coir ??

I would also like to make my own organic ferts any suggestions what to use, i have liquid seaweed seasol ? I have a compost heap that is food scraps and plant material also.


Heres the ingredients i can get:

Organic compost
Peat moss
Perlite
Vermiculite
Blood and Bone
Palatalized sheep droppings
Dolomite lime
Pumice
Worm Castings
Coir fiber

anything else i need ??

Any suggestions, comments or help appreciated !

Thanks

I'd lose the vermiculite. Peat moss will take care of water retention.

I use LC's soiless mix which is similar to ur ingredients. Its 5 parts peat moss, 3 parts perlite, 2 parts worm castings but i use mushroom compost instead. dolomite lime, bone and blood meal and kelp meal. Its been workin great for me and so easy to make

Add some kelp meal to your mix. I know you have the liquid, but the meal really helps.

I'm also running LC's mix. Good stuff.

This mix is already shaping up to be much more complete than the mix you posted a few days ago. I see nothing wrong with your mix but I will once again remind you to err on the side of more substrate and less nutrients than vice versa. Your young plants will be much happier and get a faster jump start if they don't start out by being dropped into shock due to the mix being too rich, and if it starts needing more, you can always top dress with your nutes and supplement with teas.

I am watching this grow with interest as I've seen your mix(and your knowledge) evolve so far from where it started already.
