Worth buying BuildASoils soil?

There's always lime, but that will raise the pH.

That breaks down to calcium no?

Dolomitic lime has both, but I think it has more Mg than Ca. Don't quote my though. I don't use it.

Noted. Lol

I looked it up and you are correct. Higher levels of Mg than Ca.

Some of it starts breaking down fast, and some things take longer to break down. You can make a tea if you want, but I'd just top dress with it. You can mix some Craft Blend straight into the top, and then add some EWC and water it. Or, what I like doing now, which is mixing them first and letting it cook for a couple days first. But you don't have to do that. I just like to do it like that now. I think my worms appreciate it when I do it like that.

You might want to use a mulch layer, but it's not absolutely necessary.

One more question, if you don't mind me asking, I'd the craft blend good thru flower as well?

100%

craft blend, ewc, bokashi top dress at flip, same thing at harvest to reset for veg, imo.
Many variations

That's what I like to hear. Thank you.

Yep, you can use it the whole time. I add other stuff to it to sometimes, like Gro-Kashi and other stuff. Maranibana has the right idea.

Ok, so the gro kashi mixed in when I make the switch?

You don't have to mix it in. I didn't have it when I made my no-till soil. I just top dress with it. But if you have it, sure add some in to the mix. You don't absolutely need it though. It's just another good thing to add.

Ok, but if I'm going to add it to the top dress, Is it something more specific for flowering or can it be added in veg also?

Build-a-bloom for flower just started using it. I like it

BuildABloom 2-10-5 is BuildASoil's long awaited amino acid formula for flowering plants. Most companies will offer a bone meal, guano or phosphoric acid product for their flowering line up, but we didn’t want to go that route. The premium vegan non-gmo soy aminos help chelate the micronized minerals and make the phosphorus, potassium and calcium more readily available. The results are dramatic!

I use Gro-Kashi in both veg and flower.

Anything else you can think of or does that cover it? You said you don't use teas?

Sounds good but I dunno if I wanna spend more money yet. I'm still new to this organic thing.

I made teas a lot the first time, but I haven't made one in a long time now. I just top dress instead. I'm too lazy for teas.

You should be good for now. You will add more amendments to your stock as you go, lol.

Does anyone have any experience with their neem/karanja mix? Is it worth having?

 

[PadawanWarrior]

Does anyone have any experience with their neem/karanja mix? Is it worth having?

Yep. I have them both. I've only used the karanja though so far. I almost gave some neem to one of my pots the other day. I will next time I top dress the veg tent.

Neem for veg, and karanja for flower. But like I said I just started using it separately.

Craft Blend has karanja meal in it already though.
