As far as the dolomite I was just following the directions for the earth box etc. I've run slurry tests on the pro mix that I use and it usually comes in around 6.5. so I would imagine the lower layer of heavily limed pro mix is a much higher ph. It's supposed to help with the magnesium and calcium deficiencies. I use the pump and grow line in my grow bags. I'm trying to find a no easy method for busy people. The dry amendments etc. I've been using a year or so. But since I found this sip method on youboob I stumbled here. Amazing.

I guess depends on your water,mines all ca and mg and the 444 has Ca too.
Takes a long time to break down so shouldn't be a problem.

Turns out Dr Earth has a Cannabis feeding chart. Ordered the 4-4-4, and a bottle of the Pot Of Gold 1-1-1liquid fertilizer. We'll see how it goes. Fixing to pop some beans, they'll be my test mules. I'm gonna follow their dry fertilizer recommendations and use the liquid per their recommendations.
They say 2oz per gallon of the 1-1-1, then water each plant with 2 cups of that mixture, or 4 cups for bigger plants. I'm still gonna add my humic acid, I'm guessing their "metabolic transformer" does something similar. But for the price and application rate of that MT, I'm gonna hold off. Think I'm gonna try just using their chart, no added seaweed extract or Neptune's Harvest. I'll apply the 1-1-1 at 4/oz per gallon. With be enough to feed 8 plants 6 times. Should get me through a cycle.

Single earthbox. Single bush : cannarado purple bubblegum fem, day 77 from seed (day 34 since flip). 100% organic, water only, top-dressed a time or 2 with good stuff. Waited too long to flip, and it got wild. Just defoliated for the 3rd time. Closet is 4 feet wide for scale.pbg1.jpg

I'm totally sold on sip planters. I did a run with autos over the winter and it did alright... yes I am growing autos. I have grown photos outdoors and really wanted to try autos indoors. I may try photos indoors but maybe not for another year. I met my goals for yield... I ended up with at least 6 oz which my goal was 1oz per plant.

But I just really felt like I could be doing better . So I ordered a few earthbox juniors and planned another auto grow. Here I am at the end of week 5 looking like a freaking jungle in the tent... PXL_20220507_132600914.MP.jpg

I love the city pickers!! My only recommendation is get something under that little fabric cover to keep moisture in. Before I did that the humidity in the tent got unmanageable, and I lost a few big colas to bud rot. I used some reflective insulation, worked perfect.

My humidity dropped 7 points when I covered mine with mylar. I don't want to seal it off just slow it down. Thanks!
