I've used that brand for testing compost and teas with the microscope and the microbes liked it just fine!
You've tested mollasses brands? Which brand came out on top in your tests?
Oh, NM, I mis-read your post

2 TBS per gallon of soil for the N and the P guanos. Add 2 TBS of the Kelp also. and top dress with the Alfalfa as the season progresses.

thx alot
Currently running the "Plantation" myself....good stuff...smells good too.I've used that brand for testing compost and teas with the microscope and the microbes liked it just fine!
6 TBS....2 of each. Makes a balanced mix. You are going to just plant wit no transplant....right. Or are you going to pot up?
N guano= 10.10.2 or numbers like that. Could be 11-7-2 but you know what I mean.

Hi Burnone,
Can I use composted cow manure rather than EWCs? EWCs are quite expensive.
preparing for a small medical outdoor grow in a raised garden bed ~12 cubic feet.
Have done LC mix 1 with blood bone kelp dry fert recipe indoors with great success. Does that dry fert recipe #1 have enough to sustain an outdoor grow till the end? Planning on planting mid june.
Or should I make slight alterations to the dry fert recipe to compensate for a longer outdor veg time?
Either way I really like the plain water/liquid karma till the end application of it. So easy... Maybe I should just stick with the original recipe and see what happens.
I'm sure I'm not the first to wanna bring this awesome water only recipe from the indoors to the outdoors.
Anyone know the way to go? I'll have it animal proofed...

I have a Dr Bud style Compact Sog. i currently use a soilless mix very similar to LC #1. Mine has a couple parts vermiculite and a little more ewc and mc mixed together as a single component. I've been using chemical ferts and want to switch over to organic.I like the simplicty of recipe #1 and #5. #1 being my first choice, however, i am concerned that with the tiny amout of soil used(approx 20oz)the girls will run out of food before they finish....any thoughts?
if i took lcs mix and mixed it 50/50 with native soil would i have to use double the recommended ferts? for ex.
1 gallon lcs with 6 tbs dry ferts
1 gallon native soil (add another 6 tbs of ferts?)
outdoor grow
What's the best way to tell how much and how often plants in LC's mix need Water? I know it's a broad question, I'm just curious of some good rule's of thumb for watering in a mix like this ?
Weight. Water them until they bleed out the bottoms, then pick up the pot and get a good idea of how heavy it feels. Then when it starts to dry out, you'll notice when it needs water because it'll weigh about half of what it did. The plants will also tell you (I know, sounds so vague and hippy-like, but it's true). When they droop, they're already past needing water.
