growing with ideal 420 soil

[wheelz]

On my 10th grow.on first grow I used mixture of happy frog an ocean forest with fox farm nutes.for my first grow ever it was a 2 plant closet grow with black star led.stains were super skunk auto and berry Ryder from single seed co.I was pretty proud for using 3 gal pots I got 80 grams of really good smoke.second grow was in a 4x4 tent under 600 watt HP's an I used ideal 420 seemed easier to just add water.9 grows later I'm still using it.I followed directions on bag per watered soil and planted my germinated seeds directly into soil.at time I was only growing autos most sprouted but my death ratio was way up. After several grows an losing a lot a seeds I pulled my head out ta my ass an fig out what problem was.some seedlings popped an took off most autos either died or were stunted. I fig the soil is just too hot for certain strains. So my solution was I filled my 5 gallon pots with about 3 gal of ideal I topped off the other 2 gal with a neutral potting soil that I added extra perlite with. That way by time the roots reached the super soil the plant was big enough too handle it.since starting I've switched too two 4x4 tents with 600mh for veg an 6.5x6.5 tent with two 1000 watt hps for flower.I also have a 2x2 led clone tent.each tent is roughly 1 month behind the other an the big flower tent is split in 2 one side a month behind other side so I have a 6-8 plant harvest every month.the feminized seeds seem too love the ideal 420.the stems are thick the root system is perfect (I don't transplant unless I have too).I also start topping my girls before veg.I continue to top through out veg and I lollipop them wen they get 3-4ft then wen they go to flower and all I have is multiple colas no side buds no whispy buds jus nice colas.so in my expierence 420 is great as long as you use a neutral potting soil to start.it is a pain to spend 130 every time u need soil but if your growing in right conditions you will be pleased.if there's anyone else out there that has experience with this feel free to comment and let me know your experiences with it thank you

if its as advertised i would think it should be pretty easy to re amend with the roots sifted or left in.a few small things and a good tea and/or an inoculate should do rather nicely to re work the bag of soil so you dont have to buy it again.i looked at the for a long while n you should only have to buy it one time.or a few bags to get your desired amount.Got any pics of your grows with it at all? id love to see them man. Ive been trying to get a cpl ppl to try it here and one is about to start from what I can remember.

so youve had zero problems with the soil so far?thats awesome!! how many grows do you get out of a single bag of soil?have you tried two grows back to back or even to sift the roots out and lightly amend with softer materials and then replant?..I can see a plug or tier type of potting working well too.Thanks for your write up on the soil man, Thanks. :Sharing One:

I am definitely not a master grow by any means I did not know that there were additives I could add to the soil so I didn't have to purchase a hundred and thirty dollars worth of dirt all the time. I would appreciate it if you could give me a quick rundown on exactly how to do that. I have a pretty decent size set up that can harvest roughly 6 to 10 lollipop and multiple topped every month my problem where I live is finding dependable real estate to put my grow in.I have had to tear down and store 3 times now I finally got that problem fixed so I started from seed again just in my closet under a 360 watt Blackstar led. We grow feminized for monetary gain and usually throw a couple autos just for fun. altogether between veg and flower with this grow holds approximately 36 plants not including when it's actually set up and running properly. I have 5 FEMS and 3 autos.purple cheese auto is my fourth attempt at this strain this is it as far as I have ever gotton with it for 1 reason or another I seem to kill it. purple cheese auto is my fourth attempt at this train this is it as far as I have ever gone with it for 1 reason or anothersomething seems to happen and it dies as seegling here goes the pictures you asked for I will take the autos first then 5 FEMS.they are roughly 1 month old and due to the fact I can't set up shop till next month they are in Dixie Cups for as long as I can get away with it.again all started in ideal 420 with ff happyfrog as the neutral soil. I was super stoked about the Strawberry Cough strain I boughtI tried it on a trip to Denver and I loved it so I tried to grow it. being somewhat new a growing I forgot to poke a drainage hole in the bottom of Cup plant was at one point totally brown and shriveled up I was going to throw it away when I noticed a new spot of green. so I started to baby that plant insofar have nursed it from death to what you see in the picture granted it is way smaller then all the others but after transplant and put in veg tentI think she will pull through just fine I hope anyway because wen i lollipop I need her branches for clones. I am waiting on new soil to transplant the autos go in 3 gallon PVC grow bags and feminized go in five gallon bags. if anyone has any suggestions or comments please feel free to drop a line like I said I would appreciate the recipe on how to reactivate my used so I'm not spending $130 for 5 pots thank you

Just look at my recycled Rev mix thread in organics I believe.that should give you a good idea of most of the mosr basic and enhanced amendments to look for.and you can compost your roots too.but thats once its been worked fully after a grow..save you tons on buying soil all the time n so forth:Sharing One:
