Sounds good, thanks buddy!

[Cannavore]

i'm actually whipping up a new batch of dirt here shortly to being recycling into the forseeable future!


3cf Sphagnum Peat Moss & Coco Coir Mix (6:2 ratio)
--
3cf Coast of Maine Compost (it's cheap until i get a compost bin going)
--
3cf Rice Hulls
1/2cf Biochar
--
3cf "Coot's Mix" Nutes Kit - Buildasoil - (Crustacean Shell Meal, Neem Cake, Karanja Cake, Kelp Meal)
3cf "Coot's Mix" Mineral Kit - Buildasoil - (Basalt, Gypsum, Oyster Shell Flour)


topdressings, fermented plant extracts of nettle and yarrow, living clover mulch, seed sprout teas

all i'm missing is some good quality EWC which i should be able to get by without for a run or two

[Ghostin]

Thanks Cannavore!

Buildasoil Kit's look interesting, I'm going to check that out!

Have you ever considered farming your own EWC?

[Cannavore]

yep that's what i'm going to do, it's too expensive otherwise to keep buying it pre bagged and i can't find quality EWC locally.

i've used roughly the same mix before with different compost inputs and without the biochar and coco with excellent results. the plants basically grow themselves it's so easy.

What's your thoughts on the rice hulls vs other options. Do you think you get a better product, or is it a cost vs return basis?

well i hate perlite lol. but i mainly been a perlite user since it's easy to get locally in a pinch but it's definitely not cheap and a lot of it floats to the top of the pots. 7cf bale of rice hulls from buildasoil i found was a pretty good deal ($39 plus shipping but i was placing a decent sized order already) compared to 2cf of perlite for $20 priced locally.

[Ghostin]

yeah, why the fuck is perlite so expensive? You think rice hulls is a better alternative?

[Cannavore]

first time i'll be using rice hulls, lots of people use them without problems. i think they have a small silica content and eventually break down in the soil(??) but other than that they don't float to the top like perlite.

pumice and lava rock are another good alternative to perlite and may even be cheaper depending on where you source it.

I pulled a bunch of males in preflower and decided to save the soil since it was a good amount. Its coast of maine organic soil with only neptune's harvest fish and seaweed ferts added to it. Can I transplant seedlings into this soil?

I don't see why not? Especially if you didn't feed anything additional into the soil after you potted up the original plants.
