Hey all, I've adapted organic growing for the past year and it's hands down the best thing I've done for my garden. My only issue I've found is getting the plants to fade out completely and use up all the food that's in my soil.
My first run was in TGA Subdrool's slaughter house mix, and none faded at all. The smoke tasted really nasty and I had to toss it unfortunately.
My outdoor grow this year had the same thing happen... but only for certain strains like Church and Blue Widow. Same deal, the smoke tastes off and the ash burns black instead of white. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here! The Subcool run above was given more than enough time to finish, so I have a feeling it has to do with nutrients not being cycled enough or something... leaving them in the plants during the chop. Thoughts?
My current grow is in a Build A Soil mix I mixed and composted myself
This mix contains:
2/3 Part Worm Castings
1/3 Part Oly Mountain Fish Compost
1 Part Sphagnum Peat Moss
2/3 Part Pumice
1/3 Part Rice Hulls
Nutrients included in the soil:
Acadian Kelp Meal @ 1/2 Cup per cubic foot
Neem Cake and Karanja Cake 50/50 Mix @ 1/2 cup per cubic foot
Crustacean Meal @ 1/2 cub per cubic foot
Gypsum Dust @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot
Brix Blend Basalt @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot
Glacial Rock Dust @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot
Oyster Flour @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot
I'm about to flip the girls in this ^ mix into 12/12 so I wanted to touch on this before I made the same mistake again. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks guys
