My response to Hyroots post should answer your questions. Just remember that you don't need a lot to grow cannabis. Coots soil would be imo a near perfect mix. That being said you don't need that great of a soil mix to grow great medicine. You do if you want to keep doing it over and over in the same soil mass. But I digress, don't sweat not having everything perfect at this moment. You can always mix your soil up and reammend later. Yes it won't be considered notill anymore at that point but there's nothing wrong with that.
Best way to combat excessive needs is to simply (if possibly) have a larger soil mass. In my experience it's not that the soil doesn't have what the plant needs, it often does, but the microbes aren't able to keep up with the needs of a plant in the soil mass that it's in or there simply just isn't enough soil mass to support the amount of microbes necessary to support whatever plant is in it, thus the answer imo being a larger soil mass as opposed to individual mixes or feedings.
Oh I completely understand lol I just know things like leaf mold and compost can't be rushed. I was in that spot and it came down to just having to reammend at a later point. Little extra sweat but worth it in the end.
what kind of yield per gallon of soil you guys getting with no till?
If you're looking at it like that, dry weight to soil mass, I think you're overlooking quite a lot. There are more variables to yield than soil mass alone. You can't answer that simply. If you're a closet or tent grower it may be easier to reammend after every cycle in smaller containers, especially if its not a permanent grow area. But I assure you that even indoors in tents notill can yield a shit ton, given you nail a lot of variables. Genetics, environment, and hardware will make more difference than soil mass imo.
how many rounds of no till in those pots?
1 so far, new soil mix. Which I guess is a horrible example to use in support of notill. A better one would be my ~5th cycle 15 gallon, canna for 3 cycles, one of bell peppers, then of canna again. It's about 2 - 2.5 years old and ony had ewc, kelp, grokashi and rock dusts topdressed. Still yields just as heavy as the first, much better flavors last two rounds of canna imo too. It's about to go outside this year for an 8ft vertical cantaloupe planter. Wait till this fall and I can give you numbers again on the 5 and 10 gallons.
