Hey al!
I was wondering what rate (tsp per gallon, tbsp per gallon, however you measure) people are mixing in the Roots Uprising Nute Powders? I have Uprising Grow, Bloom and Foundation, My plan is to make a water only type super soil using the uprising line if possible. I'm planning on getting elemental and some EWC in the next day or two, would elemental be essential?

Skip all that bullshit friend. Take it back to the store. Use this recipe.

15% peat moss, pine bark, or coco coir
35% aeration (I prefer Perlite or rice hulls but course Sand, and pumice are other options
50% composted organic matter (this could be compost, composted cow or horse manure, worm castings, leaf mold). I prefer a combination of as many different kinds of compost I can but whatever is available to you and the best quality is what you should lean on.

Neem Seed Meal or Neem Cake 1/2 cup per cubic foot
Crab shell meal or shrimp shell meal 1/2 cup per cubic foot
Fish Bone Meal 1/2 cup per cubic foot
Gypsum 1/2 cup per cubic foot
Langbeinite 1/4 cup per cubic foot
Kelp meal 1/2 cup per cubic foot
Alfalfa meal 1/4 cup per cubic foot
Oyster shell flour 1/4 cup per cubic foot

Water only start to finish. Your roots organic powder packs are just a blend of those things (well some of them) but they fill it out with cheap shit and go skimpy on the pricier components. Getting all the above components separate is a touch more upfront (but not really that much)....plus they will last you longer (you get way more) and you can ensure that you're getting enough of the quality components you need.

I don't know what you mean by elemental but its a waste of money. Ewc is solid (I recommend using some in the above recipe)

dont depend on Roots Uprising, I second de Rasta, and if you have time, make some castings

if you plan on doing this for longer than a year, make some castings!
