Preparing my soil for a guerilla grow this summer. My seedlings were planted in Pro-mix Organic Herb and Veg soil that supposedly feed for 3 months. The girls seem to be happy in it now and growing great. I plan on filling my bags with a mixture of this Promix, cow compost, worm castings and perlite for some extra nutes during veg. When going into flowering i will also amend as needed. I also plan to mulch to help retain moisture as i dont have ability to constantly check and water these plants, as again it is a guerrilla grow, so hoping i can leave them to do their own thing.

Will the promix, compost, and castings be enough? I was also looking at slow release ferts to mix or topdress as well if needed. My options are limited, and this isnt some commercial grow so not trying to invest in much more then these supplies i already have....

Appreciate any advice

Glad I no longer have to it. Props.

I would suggest a kelp based dry fert as initial mix. No synthetics. Decent natural soil I'd top dress at 5-6 weeks.

Support and better thinking.

Peace.

I did a soil mix today. I use mushroom compost as my base. It's crazy cheap.

Today's mix was:

4 five gallon buckets of mushroom compost
1 five gallon bucket of peat moss
1 five gallon bucket of sungrow potting soil

30 cups coffee ground compost
30 cups wood ash
30 cups kitty liter (clay)
30 cups course vermiculite
4 cups HollyTone organic ferts
1 cup 10/10/10 bloom ferts
2 cups lime
2 cups Epson salts
1 cup Gypsum
1/2 cup bone meal
1/2 cup soil acidifier

There are a couple three things I was out of. Blood meal, a second organic fert and something I can't remember. I used the last of the HollyTone, peat moss and several other things, so I have a pretty good list for town tomorrow.
