I've also added insect frass and bio-char into the above recipe which is based off Clackamas Coot's recipe.
I put two solid inches of hydroton on bottom of 45gal fabric container.

I've smoked a lil of my other strains that are almost finished, blue cheese and amnesia haze. Let me tell you guys...
WITH NO BOTTLED NUTES, NO METER OF ANY KIND, NO FLUSHES. STRAIGHT FIRE, WHITE ASH, SMOOTH, TASTY....can't wait til some is cured. P.S. I've also quit chasing deficiencies, diseases, and just problems in general.
I went the route of living organic soil, I feed the soil and the plants does it's thing.

If you ever thought about breaking away from bottled nutes, I say do it!!!
questions, comments, please feel free
ENJOI

I want to keep one Journal and it evolves over time as my mind changes.
Many of my practices have changed.
I'm in no completion with any style of grow, how ever you choose to grow, I'm happy for you!
I found that this approach best supports my lifestyle.
