Hi doc got a quick question for you.

My next grow is gunna be a bit short on time so I'm not gunna have time soil test and such.
So instead I'm gunna do a 12/12 oc+ grow. I know it's not ground breaking but it's quick and reliable

I was going to mix peat, worm castings, oc+. I've got some 97% calcium carbonate, gypsum and srp will I still benefit from this with oc+ and could I water with plain water or Shuld I use natures own. Oh and can you remember your ratio you used.

Thank
Smooth

You've got a nice recipe there. What's your base soil? If only peat, I'd add some forest humus to that and definitely some Azomite.

If you're using that, or a potting soil, like Fox Farms, I'd add 1.5 to 2 tbsp of OC+ per gallon of soil. You can always add more later if needed.

6 scoops of Limestone (If finely powdered go by weight, not volume)
5 scoops of Soft Rock Phosphate
3 scoops of gypsum.

Use 1/4 cup per 5 gallons of soil. If you can top dress it and water it in 2 or 3 times before you plant, that would be OK. You really should give the minerals time to do their thing in the soil. 2 weeks in the pots, watered is OK Cooking the soil is preferable, of course.

Definitely use a root innoculate like Extreme's Mykos or BioVam. The latter comes with Nature's Own tea....same folks.

I highly recommend the Nature's own for a grow like yours. You'll be very happy using it sparingly. It's damn strong stuff.
