Joe's new grow.

[Joe383]

Things are going ok so far and look good. No burning or anything as of yet. The next plant I start will be a northern lights auto but after that one will be another red dwarf and on the red dwarf I think I will put a little bit of the bloom mix in the bottom of the starting pot and see how it reacts.

So I am seeing in my plant that the nitrogen is high. Its not going to mess it up super bad high but too high. Next batch will be mixed differently. I am still doing the 1/3 of manure next veg mix but think I will try not adding any manure to the bloom mix and see how things turn out for me.

I think its the mushroom compost doing it. I mixed up what I did last time plus added the mushroom compost and should have cut back on something.

Just my opinion but mushroom compost has very little nutrients to it, my understanding is its good for diversity of microbes, my experience has been that some contain high levels of salts which we all know is no good for TLO, caused a lock out with a grow of mine about a year ago, I've since changed mushroom compost manufactures if you want to call them that...

Best of luck and good karma your way

 

[Joe383]

Ya the mushroom is light but I already have a high nutrient content to my mix. Might try the mushroom compost later but I am going to omit it for now.

I use mushroom compost in mine as I'm looking for the diversity of fungi and microbeastie's, just have to becareful which brand and have them tested for salts, but ya I think mushy compost is great
