hey folks. im quite comfortable over at growroom designs and equipment, but i guess this is more approprate here.

i'm expecting my clones in 2 weeks or so for my club-grow. yesterday i prepared the soil:
the ingredients:




pro-mix BX... i prefer HP but it wasnt available
4 cups welcome harvest farm 4-4-4 super grow mix
4 cups alfalfa meal
2 1/2 cups high P bat guano
2 1/2 cups lime
1 bag (30l) earth worm castings
~ 5 gallons perlite
3 shovels full of leftover unused mix from my last grow



this mix has cottonseed meal which is high acid. i prefer the gaia brand which is more alfalfa and canola i think, but i couldnt get it

and just for fun heres a photo of the guano bag



i open the bale of promix and spread it on the floor. then i break up all the chunks best i can and pour all the other ingredients on



i mix it with a rake and a shovel for a while. then i innoculate with a compost tea that has bubbled about 24 hours




the tea is preservation dude's mix, approximatly:
1 tbs per gallon molasses, alfalfa meal, and earth worm castings
1 tsp per gallon soluble kelp powder
grozyme

then pour more water on the "dirt" and mix it till its about even

i filled it into garbage bags to "brew" till my baby girls come

Nice So, you mixed how much soil total? And you did it on the floor of the room? So I take it you cleaned and bleached after that, huh?

i mixed 3 bales, and did it on the floor outside the room!

Nice set-up for mixing irie-i. I mix on an 8x8 tarp in my garage also. More room to work. I like to measure everything in 5 gallon buckets. I like the Super mix you use also. I will have to see if I can get that in the US. I'am currently using the FF OF for my base. I like all the additives in this time and as I recycle i will add everything back in and this stuff looks pretty good. You could really build on it.

irie-i - i'll be using the High P guano by harvest farm in week 4 of flower. I will make a tea, and as i can see on the website they call for "one tablespoon per 4 liters of water. " I will prob. add mollasses and a little WC.

does that 1tablespoon per 4 liters sound a bit to high ?
1/2cup/5gal ?
