I wanted to ask what you guys thought of the soil I put together for my rooted clones to be put in (a few are already in).
I was able to get 2 30 or 40 pound bags of "wiggle worm" worm castings (I'm pretty sure the bags said organic so I hope they were, only choice), 2 bags of happy frog, 3 bags of ocean forest, I had lime and granular mycos on hand. I also bought a bag of bone meal only because I mixed up the name label and the N-P-K label of another fox farms amendment and didnt catch it until after I opened and sprinkled a little in the fist batch I mixed but whatever, I dont think I'll be using it anymore, definitely not what I want in there if its not fish bone meal which I dont think it is but even then..whatever...
Anyhow I mixed basically the happy frog and ocean forest 60/40 (HF/OF), mixing up like 20 gal. of soil which I added a good 10-12+ heavy cups of EWC's and a little over a half cup of lime, and then some myco's were mixed in when I transplanted, hit them with some water to get the new soil wet, and then I had mixed up some of the GO products as well as some myco's in a bucket with some molasses for 24 hours prior to all this and I topped off the new potted plants with a few cups around the center of the pot of the aerated go/myco/molasses brew. The first 3 I did last night seem to be good and not suffering to much stress but they are looking a little light yellowish similar to lacking N on the newest growth, the top site and all the small node sites down the main stem are yellow on 1 or 2 of the clones I think. I just put them in the potting mix that contains some NPK so I hope by the time they need watering I'll know but I dont plan on doing anything at least until then, but I figured I'd ask. I just didnt have access to any good amendments but I plan to do some looking around online over the next few weeks hopefully before I need more dirt, so if theres any other amendments you guys care to post for the 50th time go for it please. I smoked querkle, jilly bean, the void, and chernobyl today starting before 10am (I'll try for earlier tom.) so the #1 excuse said on this site is mine tonight..... "I'm high".
My next question is for rize or anyone who's keen on tea's and when I should apply them in veg? (also howz about the explanation on that bio film comment I made awhile back, how and when should it be used/applied? and what are they made of? I owe you for that one dude, whenever you can post it). Also, I read a few pages back you recommended just ewc's and molasses for tea's so I think I'm going to go with that once my newly planted clones get established a little before being flipped just not sure when I should, thats what I planned to do anyhow.
But is there anything else you guys throw into your teas besides ewc's and at what points does everyone apply the teas? and do I remember it being posted I'm supposed to put the contents of the tea into an old sock and then toss it into a bucket with some bubbles...right?
Thanks all, this thread and a lot of you non haters have helped me out a lot, I'm still a newb and bust out with the long dumb questions sometimes as well as being a slight twinge of neurotic so its all good LOL....
At a rate of only 1 tbsp/gal of potting mix, I doubt it matters too much what you mix it with. Plus it's slow release as I understand. Then again, you make a good point. No need to mix in additional sources of phosphorus or sulfur when using the cake. Thanks for posting those numbers.
