Organic Outdoor Grow

is there anything crucial I'm missing. This is really all I could afford for my first grow outdoor soil. What can I produce with what I have? I'm not for a larger yield, I'm for a quality dankier yield.

quality over quantity!!

What if anything would you add for that dank yield. for that proper feeding?!

Looks pretty well to me I would suggest when you make the mix get some egg shells break them up and mix them in the soil helps with nutrients!! And also idk where it is your located but Starbucks gives Coffe grounds for compost for free if your able to get your hands on some of that I would mix it a little bit in with the soil mix also! Some of the things I've used for my soil works great!

when you say eggshells and coffee beans like how much? I wanna make like 3 cubic feet of soil.

i have a indoor right now in a 5 gallon I mixed in about 3 fully crushed up shells you wanna get them as close to dust as you can so that it can break down really well and I would say maybe add about 3 crushed up every month because it will take time to break down in the soil! And the Coffe grounds I wanna say for 3 cubic ft use a small amount because that's what I used a very small amount j wanna say I added about 3-4 cups of it you don't want to much in there because it can give burn to the leaves

Hi I am an O grower in So Ca. Gypsum for sulfur about 1/2 cup per cf. This will help break down all the other minerals. I would also lose the azomite as it has aluminum in it that the plant can uptake over time. This can contribute to Alzheimer's. Source rock dust instead. Aggrowinn or Glacial. Or even grabbing some from your local granite fabricator. Granite dust works great. You can offer to clean up the slurry.

BAS or Kelp for less I think might have it.

what is bas? lol I appreciate the info though brotha.

My advice is do not just start mixing this stuff in your soil and put a plant into it it could end badly if you are going to mix this stuff into your soil compost it in for a couple weeks so the soil can have time to buffer out

Btw great choice onthe down to earth purchase they rock i have 50+ bags and boxes of their stuff and love it good luck

Oh and ditch the peet it decomps real quick and makes your soil temps rise and turns your soil acidic go with coco coir but thats just my opinion i know theres a huge amount of people on here that grow with it and are probably going to blast me for saying that

5% of granite dust is radioactive, if health is your concern with minerals.

what does rock dust bring to the table? and yes health is a concern. so what would be a good supplement and at what amount per cf?

realistically all minerals have some sort of health risk, with maybe the exception of greensand and langbeinite, but those don't do anything for a long time, sometimes three runs or more, before they are available.
I use soft rock phosphate, azomite (my ph doesn't get anywhere NEAR where aluminum breaks down), greensand , langbeinite, gypsum, and that's it.
As far as to what they bring to the table, that is something I don't have the time to explain.
It's crucial.

just explain lol

To the op do you have a compost source as well?

just the ewc.

That will work. Too bad no mushroom compost.Just for a little for flavor.
What are you going to do 30%perlite, 30%EWC, 30%Peat Just curious.
Is this a vegan mix? For the most part besides the espoma? I like there stuff.

how long would the plants be okay in just my base, long enough til I transplant in like three weeks 4 weeks?

I think you should be just fine. You can always top dress with some plant-tone and EWC or AACT to keep them happy until you transplant them.

what would you suggest is the best route to take? this is my first grow ever and I'm not sure what would be more beneficial for them up until transplant cause then my ss will take care of the rest.. but also when would I know they're UNhappy.. lol and need any additives?
