long time enthusiast, just started more seriously growing, because being home all the time put me in a place to pursue my interest much further. electrician by trade retired.
Growing is the balm that sooths the day and the flowers of my labors heals our home.
As the new sun rises, fresh made coffee wafting through the air,
Do we wait and heal? Or go find the things that we thought we might miss when death waved a hand in passing? Every minute precious, what to do, what to do.
i guess if the HP isn't available make yer own I say.
that is if peat is available on it's own
also do you recycle your soil? I take the stuff I grow in and set it to weather and rinse it clean. good to go with a little fresh added in. pH it and check it's ppm to be sure I have rinsed any excess salts out and Haven't had any difficulty with it. I have used the flushing agents and water to get rid of the heavy salts at the end of the cycles. you know the drill "only water"at the end. this helps too.
I just don' t throw it out, it just gets 'cycled in somewhere in the yard or garden, why not back to my girls?
so with coco loco what is your feed and schedule for autos.
having a hard time with them when it comes to feeding. it's either too little or too much. would really like to know the secret combo to getting autos to thrive.
coco is very barren in comparison to peat. when i think of coco, i think of it more as a lattice, more less inactive, that nutrients flow through, a different kind of water culture. Microbes of a different kind.
isn't peat more of an active lattice with microbes and stored nutrients and microbe conversion of nutrients? same but different microbes, perhaps?
you know treating it the same as you would the peat based and adding your own mix of fungal mycorrhizae couldn't be too far off. matter of cultivating the right microbes.
they are both coco based right? shouldn't be any problem going from one to the other.
maybe check the run off and see what kind of pH and ppm you're dealing with, I suppose.
I wouldn't be concerned if it all looks equal in respect to the make up of the mix. Nutrients are not really a factor in coco based systems, since you make up the nutrition in your feed. re establishing any micro growth in the soil, is just time since you'll get carryover when you transplant.
not the hindu kush. love the kushes though.
right now my green is low key and passive. going to get ready for some sprouts for a few friends that requested for their outdoor gardens in the coming weeks. just have the Kush, K2 and a couple of very sad looking autos going at the moment.
So I am lazy and don't want to concoct my own compost tea. If you guys use a compost tea off the she…
