Title should have read COCO & dry organic fert question/s
1Hi, this is my first post here although definitely not my first time here. I have done a fair amount of reading on using coco and organic nutes, however, all the info I've found has been in relation to name-brand liquid fertz which I'm not very interested in using(except for my own teas).
This last year was the first year I had an all organic outdoor garden and I really loved it. If I was up to my elbows in bat-shit I knew it was a good day. The only thing I didn't know was what I was doing. I've grown hydro in the past and in general am accustomed to measuring everything out EXACTLY and the carefree nature of organics was a bit befuddling at first(oh a handful of that, a pinch of this). I threw so much 10-6-2 guano on small plants that I was amazed when they didn't burn, but rather they loved it.
So anyway my situation is this: I'm setting up for a 6 plant indoor tree grow and I would really like to use coco as the backbone of my mostly soil-less organic medium. I had planned to mix coco, perlite(or 3/8" pumice), earthworm castings, and humisoil along with some dry organic fertz tailored for the veg period. I will use compost tea at just about every watering and will supplement with more nutrient rich teas as necessary. Basically I've used the same mix but with peatmoss instead of coco and I am just a bit unsure if it will work well. After LEO cut my outdoor plants I really need this crop to go well and would greatly appreciate any and all comments be they positive or negative.
Also, if anybody has a suggestion on a good fert blend for MAX veg growth I would be grateful.
