Osmocote + Guano + Warmcast Flowering soil

[Rhizoma]

Hi all,

I decided to give a try for my next grow with preparation soil for only water + blumat.

I will have 3 plants in 15l soil with this composition:
- biobbizz light mix
- warmcast
- Osmocote pro 4-5 months release
- Guano bat pellets ( I couldn't find Osmocote bloom in small quantities)
- scale lime
- Epson salt

I will transplant from nursery 1l to 15l 1 week vegetative ( too little time for roots?) and after 12/12.

I am not sure if I am adding too many things and being my first time I was wondering if someone is using Osmocote and could advise.

Thanks

Okay, friend sounds good to me. Keep us posted on the results. I'm going to ride with you for a while and see how this mix works for you. Thanks for sharing.

What if I change the word "soil" for "Coco" does the recipe still sound feasible?

Sure friend go ahead, if you can make it work that's all that matters. Keep us posted.

Do you believe will work?

You won't know if you don't try it.

Peat is better than coco for soil. Peat has a higher CEC for one thing. And most people have issues using coco for a soil base.

It can work. In fact, the guys over at build a soil are aware that people use coco instead of sphagnum peat moss, so you can use it as a base to build your soild. I would keep it simple: A third of coco, a third of compost and worm castings, and a third of aeration, plus the micro and macro nutrients in slow release. I would use Sphagnum Peat Moss over coco though for what has been said above. However, a really good grower can overcome Coco having a lower CEC.

I have a thread on it here and mention it in my link. https://www.icmag.com/threads/osmocote-my-favorite-plant-food-easy-peasy-complete.18126434/

You don't need anything more than Osmocote Indoor-Outdoor Plus, 15-9-12, 5-6 month from start to finish. Be careful adding other stuff or you'll stress out your faves. Learn plant nutrition and empower yourself.

Don't get sucked into the veg/bloom food hype. That's for noobs that listen to bro science and vendors who want to make a buck without any accountability when gardens fail.

Many thanks! I will follow your advise.
Is it Coco also a good choice or better soil?

That will work but if you want to go just organic I’d leave out the osmocote. Maybe worm castings and some Esopoma tomato tone a good Ph and that's it. @Old Uncle Ben lol ,sorry man

Your call. I do soil that I throw together. No big deal.

Espoma is a rip, to anyone that understands plant nutrition. All hype, not complete, bad NPK.

Whether or not you decide to use chemical fertilizer or organic this thread has some good soil recipes Thread 'Organic SOIL and "TEA" recipes for New Growers'

Homey don't need no frickin' "recipe". I just throw together whatever I have stocked outside and in bags. Good quality (clean) pine bark fines is a great start for a base. Commercial folks, my friends and me, often use nothing more than 3 parts pb fines/mulch and 1 part sand, the latter substitute can be coarse #3 vermiculite. Perlite breaks down, crumbles. Is not my fave.

Keep 'em green.

I moisten my soil with a slop made of a qt. of horse nuggets (alfalfa) in a bucket of water. Soak them overnight. Alfalfa has a growth hormone called triacontanol.

Anything from Espoma is just pretty damn good
