So let me get this right. No bottled or organic nute feedings with waterings, no ph testing/adjusting and you use tap water? Just a good soil with lots of nutrients for the whole plants cycle? And some training if you need to?
That's all?
That sounds great if so. So simple and your getting great yields. I'd love to hear more if your willing to share. Very interested in your soil mix as well.
You are correct. There are no additional bottled/organic/etc nute feedings. No ph testing and yes I use tap water the whole time.
There are also no drain holes in the containers cuz I can't stand watching nutes literally go down the drain.
I re-use my soil and have been for a couple years now.
I remove the excess soil from the rootball and run it through a 1/2" hardware cloth screen, then pitch the main root mass. This breaks up some of the roots into small pieces adding organic matter back to the soil. I also add nutrients back into the soil; guano, blood/bone meal, alfalfa meal, lime, greensand, plant-tone, etc (recently I started adding bio-tone too). I moisten and turn the soil over, let sit, occasionally stir, let sit and then use when needed.
I have 5 big rubbermaid tubs in rotation using this method.
