very simple method:Well, to cut down on mixing etc I switched out my moms (time to get new ones anyway) and am doing them in
5 gal smart pot type pots
75% sunshine mix #4
25% pro mix bx
2 cups worm castings
1 cup biotone plus
5 oz (not weight) OC+ mixed throughout
some concentrated dried humic acid with micros
some crushed oyster shells
then a top layer of coco to keep the peat dust down
I plan to have straight water in the res and periodically handwater with liquid karma and pureblend pro (after a few months) to keep it interesting and use up stuff that I plan to not replace. Any ideas as to the shelf life of pureblend pro products? Hopefully I can keep up the same growth rates as I got in coco and use less water (= less work!)
*perlyte, or coco, or 50/50 coco/perlyte
*1 tsp osmocote / 5 gal of coco/perlyte
*1 tsp humic acid
*no peat (sunshine or pro-mix)
*no worm castings
*no biotone
*no oyster shells
feed regime:
*1 tbsp (15grams) 5-12-26 (jax) + 1 tbsp (15g) cal-nitr8 + 5 gallons h20
*edit*
(npk-mg preferably mixed in different tanks & fed from separate from ca++)
*hand-water, @ 1X / day, until very little run-off. then stop. in 5 gal containers, 1 / 5 volume of container / 48hrs, max.
*5*128 = 640
*640 / 5 = 128
*128 / 2 = 64
*64 = 2 liters per day, max.
maybe start w/ only 1 liter (32 ounses) per day. should still be run-off. 1 1/2 - 2 liters when canopy reaches 3x3x3+.....
should be able to feed that same amount (ferts) thru the entire season
