Makeshift TLO batch critique

and hold onto that smaller tote and get a 30 or 35 gallon.but for indoor I find it easier to split it into two to mix it if its been sitting for several weeks and i still have any left.but for future batches its great to have a few of them LOL!especially if you store and keep them in smaller spaces too.a small shovel and two totes n its way easy.lol.
 
Ok I think we've got something mixed up: I'm not using the 2.1 soil builder, I'm using the full 2.1 mix that is supposed to be used by itself. The 2.1 soil builder (available in 5lb bags) is used with other soils, castings, and perlite to make the 2.1 master mix (which I have). Does that make sense?

so basically the 2.1 mix that I have is already cut with perlite, castings, and Peat.
 
I know thats whatcha had.its still about amounts.and the small of the premixed soil batch was already mixed.but not full batch it cant be spread once it been halfed as well.doable,but very tough.but essentially the 5LB pack are the additives and you pick the strength for what your growing.full,medium or light.2-5-7or10 gallon mixes using the same components.so thats why it wouldnt work nowhere near whatcha desire.thats all dude.ya see what im saying kinda?lol. but yes just grab the5LB pack or the elements and make your own again.which is a standard sized mix.about a 30-35 gallon mix for photos and auto alike with the seedling mix plug.thats a great strength with that mix.so you can really pick your path using those components.
 
Ok I gotcha now. I'll grab a 5 lb bag of the 2.1 soil builder and add the rest of the stuff when it comes in. Thanks man!
 
I'm sure glad I checked before just letting it sit! I'll place the order for it tomorrow. I already have everything else waiting. I'd really like to have a smooth grow.
 
its gonna be so smooth,its amazing lol. and while your waiting you could mix all your components so all ya need is add the pack n mix well and yer golden.you could get the moisture level ready and all your stuff combined and that way your already ready already.use cal mag and molasses n kelp as your watering n get your levels good.

I personally would use 6 gallon of castings with 1 kept aside for small teas here n there.

6 gallons of perlite

6 gallons of dr earth soil.could use 7 if you wanted too.no biggie either way.

5 or 6 gallons of spagnum peatmoss.either way is fine.

just a touch thinner than the medium and way less than the lowest strength at a 10 gallon cut.you'll see.i did very very similar my first grow and Im unsure how it can fail to be honest.it was frigin magic,im tellin ya man.about three teas,small mellow and just a basic boosted standard watering is all youll be doing really.im jealous too.i wanna see another grow like that.lol. tangelo too.man i only got one of them beans left.so sad.lol.i know whats awaiting ya too.im excited for ya too dude,believe me.
