Okay first grow I want it to be organic I have been able to gather this list of supplies for my soil so far:steamed bone meal,worm castings and started a farm,blood meal, azotmite, kekp meal, dolamite lime, peat moss, and perlite. I only have enough room for one plant atm so what would be a good mix for a 5 gallon pot I am growing Auto Assassin seeds should be in soon and i do not have time for it to cook what should i do

well Im assuming your doing Auto's? either way man awesome.well you have a few options really.from buying one or two more components to round out the photo aspect fo it imo for a soup grow if you will.but blend your components for atleast two weeks or three.it'll work sooo much better for you so less feed and building of the organic materials in the soil.but imo you should buy an inoculate and literally grow some fungi with an endo mix to dominate your soil and let all that blend and either teas as an AACT or just a soup CT(straight Compost tea steeped n stirred)

but if you need it fast imo you need atleast a week.but pushing it could be an issue but thats splitting hairs. per 5 gallons I personally would add 1/4 cup bone meal,2 TBspoon blood meal,2-4 TBspoons kelp, 3TBspoons dolomite lime or prilled if you have..?,3-4 TBspoons azomite,and perlite at,20-25% by volume of small/medium,and i personally would go with somewhere around 2/3 cup to 1 n one third cups of castings pulped in a blender some to really fine them up n help em along a slight bit,but i just like that,not really needed..did i forget anything?im stoned LOL!hope that help ya man.

a quality soil ,since peat tends to run a lil warmer on the acidic scale some so only use 1 er maybe 2 gallons with a cpl teaspoons of lime to the peat and mixed and the reast perlite n organic soil.that will be your sweet spot for a soup or an AACT grow imo man.:Sharing One::Hookah:
 
Havent did any research on the fungi method ill look it up. I have aslong as it take the seeds i ordered from single seed centre and they shipped 3 days ago. Could i possible mix all this up the (1/4 cup bone meal,2 TBspoon blood meal,2-4 TBspoons kelp, 3TBspoons dolomite lime or prilled if you have..?,3-4 TBspoons azomite,and perlite at,20-25% by volume of small/medium,and i personally would go with somewhere around 2/3 cup to 1 n one third cups of castings pulped)let it sit til seeds get here and if its not time just put like half of the mix in the bottom of the pot and the rest just perlite and peat. What if my seeds show up before all my ings. Can i just put them in a the perlite and peat and feed them tea's and start a compost for my next grow
 
well sure ya can.its just playing with autos its a kid gloves kinda game when it comes to materials that are releasing as various times is the real caution and having the soil caustic for a duration,especially if kept moist well as it should be.but just plug it good for your seedling with a seed mix er something increase your lime a cpl TBspoons and that'll do ya fine imo.Id use Big bloom as an early starter feed then swap to teas but soup n fish or anything similar'ish should be juust fine man.
 
Hey thanks alot I see what I can pull together hopefully it all comes out good it is my first grow so im not expecting magic hehe. I'll still be doing more research and ill keep everyone updated on my progress so keep an eye out if you want to follow along :D
 
Best of luck chuck! If you feel comfortable with it, post a thread up here in the organics section when you get things going so we can follow along with you. Makes it easier for everyone to help if we can see a problem early and head it off before it becomes bad. Plus, it is always nice to have some new organics farmers to watch!
