100% Organic Grow.

honestly?Id tell ya no n buy the stuff to make a good soild tea(or make your own stuffs, some are very easy n cheap to make quality fishes n things) and bubble snake n bucket and get involved.and since their interchangeable from soil to teas in many cases why not.its a win win and they last awhile too.unless your growing a lot i suppose but thats cool too lol

but yeah you can use them and ive seen some nice grows with them i have to admit.but its just how i prefer not to grow,thats all.:Sharing One:
 
Gotcha yeah the teas seem like a slight complication for me right now want to make sure I build a decent soil first don't want to get to far in over my head ya know? I think I'm on the right track for a soil though

Although I do have the life 555 And the tomato vegetable and herb 5-7-2 and that should work as a tea shouldn't they? Then I could just mulch the solids into the soil bit I reckon?

I also have the 333 liquid fertilizer solution and the seaweed solution as well. Neko sent me the full dr earths feeding schedule and it seems pretty straight forward but since I'm amending this soil mix I should be a good bit better off I'd assume at least through veg hey?

Or to phrase my question better I should be able to not have to do anything until I see preflower yeah?
 
well thats a tough question to answer since f the schedule is for autos specific Id use a 30% feed to start then as is. but if its for photos ill say that youll wanna start them at roughly a 20% or so to start with autos and that soil.at second feeding depending on exhibiting trait n so forth but you should be able to increase it well enough to pop em up at that point to around a touch under the shcedule as far as strength n youll prolly be fine man.im unfamilair with thats schedule and their far differne tnutes and feeding styles but youll prolly be fine with that.:Sharing One:
 
Alright sounds good I just want to make sure I have an organic nutrient line handy so it won't kill my soil ya know I Mena I've out this time in for what I have so far so well yeah you know where I'm going with that haha

But I figure if I use general organics or dr earth then it'll keep the microbes good and going so when I Re compost the soil I won't have lost anything ya know?

That makes sense right?
 
if you use those bottled stuffs over the course of recycling your soil your using youll have to work it more often.thats why i dont use those bottled things and advise against it since most ppl who want organic will desire living organics over plain enriched soils with soup style feeds.but yeah like i said theyll work but not have to long haul sustainability for the long run since many autos with a decent living soil wont need to be amended till no less than two full auto grows.where as each simple mixed soil will need to be worked and sifted each grow,more work.simplicity is the key.but keep in mind if you encounter an issue i wouldnt necessarily add them bottled stuffs,they may hinder your issue verses curing it.its all about the soil amendments and add ons. patience is the key here.but yeah looks like your set.happy growing dude.:Sharing One:
 
Thanks brother you have been a huge help to me man and I do greatly appreciate it. What would you recommend I add to help get me through bloom? Or should I be set with just a tea here and there once I get to bloom?

Also what's the final word on calmag would picking up a bottle of it be good or is molasses and epsom salts good to go?
 
cheap molasses n epsom for cheap stuff that works but cal mag suppliment will be needed unless you work the soil fully.

Kelp powder

Big bloom

kelp meal ,Kelp liquid

fish n kelp bloom blends are ok

guanos if you like too.they run hot but are good

you blend n brew your tea for stage of growth.use these and others to blend into a tea for flower and basic transition feeding.:Sharing One:
 
yeah man some lime and a few cups of casting and some rock dusts will do you really nicely with a basic soup feeding or alternating with teas bro. but really that the basic building of a soil bag that tend to be a bit hotter ofoucrse but less maintaining is need through feeds n the like.upgrades would be like Peat Humus,insect frass,bokashi(very cheap to make yourself btw) n that;ll really get you going man.

if you have a living compost you made and assuming it buffers well with added limes n thinning agents essentially imho bro your coming at teas all wrong man. you grow chems or know a bit about them?PH dont matter..blending of the components for your various stage(s) of growth are all thats needed with a good rain water. testing OH is fine for your base water to know where you need to go.so if you PH is roughly 6.5 Id add mushroom compost ,bokashi, your wettable powders(ie: great white ,endo/ecto's) liquid kelp(less for veg stage usually) or kelp meal(in place if needed for azomite or dusts) and some azomite or rock dusts and a light bit of fish.Molasses if no fish ofcourse.and mellow brewed for 24+ hours should render you a useable tea that your soil will build back up to the proper levels within PH range. cut your tea with and equal 1:1 ratio(upto 1:10 with my template i use) with any cal mag or pwdered kelp n so on juust prior to feeding and mixing OFTEN lol hope this helps you some man. if your compost is a working compost(meaning it balances itself out) youll have zero issues imo man. this is a template i really really REALLY like.I tend to make larger than average teas and there are a few smaller more mellow teas as well but i hope this thread helps you too.:Sharing One:

Great man, new you would have the right answers!, thanks a lot, the template is great too!!

I'll tell you how I go along.
 
Snap that sounds good brother found a house of guano kit at a local hydro shop might hit them up Monday has all kinda guano in the kit :p
