when you say "learn the plant" what do you mean by this specifically? Someone else advised me to do this as well, which is why they recommended the golfgreen soil I'm using.
I intend to use sphagnum instead of coco, so perhaps I'll find a recipe similar to the one I linked that incorporates...
The thing I'm after from castings/compost is the microbes that enhance flavours/terpene profiles. Also thirty days is more than doable, I've got at least one or two grows worth of cheap dept. store potting mix to go through before I move onto bigger, better methods of growing. Lots of time to...
I've considered coco. Nutes could get kind of expensive?
What's the issue with the second soil mix in that list I linked? As long as I use ewc from the hydro store I should be good, right? Having access to my own compost is preferable, but can't I get away with supplementing the 'compost' part...
I want trouble, that's the only way I'm going to learn how to fix and/or amend issues as they arise.
I want to do a water only grow, but I don't feel like I'm ready to go that route (not yet anyway).
I don't have the space to do composting. I've watched videos of it being done on YouTube...
Too late, I already mixed all three bags together LMAO.
It honestly doesn't look too bad? That bag of perlite I bought was huge. I was only going to buy 20L but all they had was the 25L bag. Soil looks on par for what most pots look like, I'll upload a photo in a bit.
I think I'll take your...
Agreed.
I have been doing some research, I'm interested in the following soil recipe (recipe 2 specifically). Can I get away with using sphagnum instead of coco? And instead of compost, can I do earthworm castings instead? Or is compost a must for this? Perhaps maybe, half compost, half...
I appreciate the advice. Unfortunately, I am starting with garbage, I'm using those CKS, remember?
These seeds aren't popping. I'm gonna throw them out and pull out the other pack and use the paper towel method you suggested (I might as well). I'm not holding any faith that these things will...
I never threw out the bags, lol.
& yes, both bags are Golfgreen. Here are the ingredients:
Flower and veg - compost, peat moss, humus, sand, mycorrhizae (in that order),
Compost w/worm castings - compost, worm castings, peat moss (in that order).
And yeah, I've heard of Ocean Forest...
I haven't seen any negative reviews (yet) for Hazeman seeds. They're the only ones who carry the strain I'm looking for, them and the CKS. And fwiw, I no longer think it's coincidence that those seeds were taking so long to pop. I cracked one open and there was nothing inside of that shell...
