I have bought a bunch of starter mix and ran with that and then amended it as I went. This round I bought Pro mix worm castings down-to-earth and a little bit of Gaia green

[@sunpowerguru3993]

I grow autos in soil, and each pot has 3 zones. The bottom 3rd leans toward flower nutes, the main body is veg nutes, and I dig a small center well for my seedling mix. The roots grow into each area as they develop. I go with the 3 basic parts; soil, airation, and compost, with 8 main additions. The soil part is a mix of my old soil (for the microbiology) and either Happy Frog (for the main part and seedling part) or Ocean Forest (for the bottom part). Airation is vermiculite, which I like better then perlite. Compost is a combination of worm castings and LeafGro compost, which is made from grass clippings and leaves. I use Down to Earth organic fertalizers: BioLive, Rose and Flower, Dolomitic lime, Gypsom, rock phosphates, insect frass, Azomite, and kelp meal. The bottom mix is more rose and flower, less BioLive, the main mix is more BioLive, less rose and flower. The seedling mix is Happy Frog, vermiculite, a little kelp meal, and some m.ycorrhiza. The idea is that the plant's roots reach into the different soils, which have progressivly higher nute loads, as the plant needs and can handle them. I also top dress at 3 and 6 weeks, and add calmag to the water starting at week 2. Finally, I make my top dressings on day 1 to give them time to let the biologicals have time to do their thing. I keep them moist and add a little molasses to the water. The earlier one has more nitrogen, the latter one very little.

[@REDEYEZGFX]

Fox farm ocean forest is my go-to. Every plant I grew in FFOF has never failed me yet. However there is only one trick I learned while using this brand. When you need to feed your plants use gaia green 2-8-4, some earth worm casting usually half the recommended amount and my favorite too Great White Mycorrhizae. Good luck growing everyone 🤞🏾💪🏾.

[@OrganicGreens]

Just buy bulk peat and perlite and a bag of all purpose organic fertilizer and mix your own. Bio live from down to earth, gia green 444, and dr earth 444 are all good options. Use one cup per cubic foot(7.5 gallons). You can even just buy organic espoma potting soil if you don't want to mix your own , amend it with a little less all purpose fertilizer maybe like 3/4 cup. This is by far the cheapest way to grow other than ordering bulk soil from a soil yard and picking it up with your own truck. Don't overpay for stuff at a "grow" store unless they are the only people in town that sell it. Hydro shops are scammers IMO. The green tax looks insane if you know how to actually garden.

[@growhand6148]

Here is my method for my free organic soil. Go to forest, rake some leaves, at bottom of a hill is best, get some good earthy top soil, the first inch or two. Now go find good rot from inside a dead tree or stump with that black composted humus. Also collect parts of well rotted logs. Break it up with a pickaxe and add it. Mix it in. It helps to add moss or other good fungi. The more diverse the fungal network the better, so take top soil from scattered locations around your forest. Wood ashes help to add potash. The charred bits are building blocks for microbes. Use a good amount of it. Also add very little sand and sandy loam like soil to improve drainage. Don't forget to add holes at bottom or lower sides of your container, fabric or not, to better drain and aerate the soil. I compost an 8x8 uncovered space on the ground 4 feet high of manure leaves and grass with old coffee grounds and worms with a little veg scraps. You have to pitch it a lot. Takes 2 years to fully break down. It yields wheelbarrows full of good composted black dirt with worm castings that I inoculate forest soil with to make a true garden soil or potting soil. I till my compost in with a hoe in a large pile, say 1-3 yards at a time of all materials. It is a grind but the result is free organic soil teeming with great microbial life. You can do it on any scale. Add your old used potting mixes to this. Smaller is quicker. -Note- Do NOT harvest where any weedkillers are used or chemicals! Must be organic virgin soil. Cannabis is a bio-remediator and will suck up whatever is in the soil and you would then be smoking it. Choose soil harvest locations wisely. Recommended for outdoor use only.

[@Wickedstickyflowers]

I just wanna check my head so if I go organic I’m not gonna use any type of fertilizer. I’ll add nothing but water if I grow in some kind of a substrate like just cocoa peat or something per mix of anything that’s neutral then I have to add my fertilizer. That’s correct.?

I use promix all purpose with lots of extra perlite, rice hulls, buid-a-soil craft blend(a mix of 15 different organic amendments), mykos, pre-charged biochar, oly mountain fish compost, wiggle worm castings, colorado worm company castings, gypsum, montana grow volcanic silica, basalt rock dust, glacial rock dust, and crushed oyster shell. The only thing I put in the water is rootwise mycrobe complete, hybrix (molasses) and ful-power fulvic acid a few times. I've been doing no-till with that soil for 5 cycles now in 30 gallon grass roots brand living soil grow bags with just build a soil craft blend and build a flower top dress mixed together. I top dress with that at planting and then again 2 weeks before I switch to flower. I've had zero signs of deficiencies and zero burn. All my leaves are a perfect dark green.

[@AlejandroLanuza-e2n]

1:31 I did not know that 'potting soil' is designed for in-ground use. That's odd because potting soil absolutely can be used in pots. Yes using a more sterile mix is effective but all the growers i've worked with out here in the 707 use a customized loam soil. Potting soil contains additional aeration and moisture retaining properties, specifically to negate the negative effects that occurt when taking it out of the ground. Do farmers really add perlite or other aeration materials in the ground? Am i missing something?

One is doing okay (could be better) but in the other box they where extremely stunted and have almost completely died off with the exception of one plant.

[@danwilkinson2797]

One distinction that you didn’t mention is the ph being a little higher or lower in organic soil generally isn’t that big of an issue . Also having some organic material half broken down can be helpful especially when you use seed sprout tea those materials are releasing small amounts of newts in a steady fashion some material breaks down faster but with seed sprouts you can control how fast they break down and release newts also include mycorrhizae in that system and you give your soil a brain and another vector for feeding itself combine that with a nitrogen fixing cover crop and plants become more resistant almost completely bulletproof to every pest . To much nitrogen will make a plant irresistible for bad bugs . This is all dependent on it being organic though and for a beginner perhaps a different way would be more appropriate. Good luck

I mainly do autos and I find is a lot easier when you do the super soil mix. I use Promix HP and Gaia green organic fertilizers. That way I know what’s exactly in the soil. You said 4th try….you haven’t make it to harvest yet? I’m no veteran at this I’m in my 4th run so if any questions fell free to ask. Have a good day

[@juelz4516]

4th try. 😂 bro you may need to spend a day doing research on how to successfully grow you doing a lot wrong.

[@daru6088]

I use Biobizz light mix. Very satisfied and okay price. Or I make my own because I live close to a place where they make a very similar Biobizz light mix

Yo you need to put a beat to what your saying, had a good flow going when ya hit the what to add for what at the end.. keep up the great content.

My favorite medium is the ground. If I must use a potting mix I've found nothing wrong with Expert Gardener. I know it gets a bad rep, but I've tried tons of different brands and combinations of different brands. Usually I end up feeling like I bought a name rather than a product.

[@icanthc]

Heck yeah! Ever do bannana tea?? ppl did that all the time when i lived in the caribbean!

[@noneofyourbusiness8016]

Same here

[@elliebryant2812]

Coco is hard to beat if you get a quality product. I grow some awesome plants in it. Hard to beat the drainage and control you have over what's in the medium.

I grew Northern lights for 10 years straight. One time I tried( save money) bought some cheaper shit and got a mad bug problem. Learned my lessen. Never again Happy frog or ocean Forrest every time. We'll worth it Don't cheap out on soil if your indoor.

[@tonyfeuerhelm]

Buying anything made by nitrogen toxic miracle grow. Potting mix needs to be mixed with soil and potting soil is ready to use ?...No ? No worries I use "420 Recipe" brand growing mix from the Emerald Triangle. Found it at a local hardware store @ $14 a bag. Got it all.

[@Frosty_Canuk]

I personally use hp pro mix with my blend of amendments 👍

[@2A_supporter]

I did an experiment both in southern arizona and Northern California where I used store bought soil vs native soil both times the clay native soil won the race and produced the highest quality buds I never had to feed it and watered a whole lot less especially when I mulched heavy vs both times I used store bought of course it was good plants and buds but I’d rather make my own soil anyday with native clay soil🤷🏽‍♂️🫡

[@MRFUCR]

tablespoon of clay in ur wata keeps pests at bay.

[@icanthc]

Wow thats super cool!!!

[@seanm.chapman7183]

So you have a super soil mix that you use.

[@icanthc]

It varies to be fair i like a base of promix then ichange between worm castings bat guano blood meal bone meal alfalfa meal gaia green even 4-4-4 all purpose organic fertilizers, someitmes kelp, lobster and crab shell, it can get wild, but i try not to go overboard cuz too many ingrediens can cause the mix to run hot!
