No journal. I probably should instead of cluttering up Doc's thread here.

That real interesting. I can't wait to have those soils tests done to see has built up and what has depleted. Wish I went to college as a youngster. :)

Oh yeah Gazoo, in veg, the plants are in 1g on a saucer, and i did the drench by fully dunking in a pail. Then letting her get almost dry, before the next drench. Just as Doc says. This DOES promote a good root structure. I think that's very important in that stage of growth. One more thing...

So, yeah, salts are minerals, and we amend minerals to our soil. I get that without having to know all the science behind it. I guess when I hear salts, I think of the synthetic nutes the grow stores sell. The kind that are readily plant available. The minerals in my old 10 run Coots soil...

I have the 20g on a a bed of perlite that I keep a couple inches water in it. At the right level, the water wicks up keeping the soil moist but not wet. I find this keeps all the life in the soil going. There is a cover crop on the 20g surrounding the 1g., also on the 1g, but that usually...

Where would the salt come from? Before the kit, I would use well water or a/c condensate, aact , sst (popcorn and alfafa sproats, kelp and alfalfa tea. Homemade compost and a worm bin. No salts. Does the kit have salts?

That is exactly my next move. I have two 7g that are "aged" nicely. Trsting both of them along with the remainder HB I have sitting on a bin. I also picked up a Microbiometer. Here is a link. MicroBiometer(R) Seems interesting for measuring the bio load on the soil. Going to give Logan Labs a...

This is the first run on the HB soil. Its in the 1g and the 20g. I don't disturb th he 20g from crop to crop. I don't even flex the pots. I don't want to disturb the soil structure that the mycelium network has built up. There is also the balance of life, or equilibrium in the soil you...

No. First time. It was a freebie from Herbies a few years ago. I have 6 cuts of it started just in case it's a keeper.

Here are a couple buds from my last two runs. They were both veg'ed in 1g smart pots that had the bottoms cut out and set in clear saucers. This soil was Coots recipe with amendments from build a soil. Although it wasn't your HB soil, I did use your bottles, following The directions start...
