Hey everyone, long time lurker-only posted a few times prior (I believe?).
Anyways, I took a break from doing my casual Organic Outdoor thing the previous two years, but I am looking to get back into the swing of things.
I have plenty of FFOF available (I have always used this soil), in addition to the Roots Organics lineup (all bottled ferts + myco powder). I like to aerate the nutes prior to feeding both in veg/flower.
I am not looking necessarily for a "Super Soil" or "No-Till", but rather just improving the base FFOF with either coco/peat moss, worm castings, and more drainage (perlite/vermiculite). Next year I am looking to do a traditional Super Soil.
Usually when I read recipes most people add in all the additional amendments, which I am not looking to really purchase since I already have a good amount of nutrients on hand. Since I will be feeding the plant with bottled "organics" (apparently they still "feed" the roots/soil food web), I think creating anything that would be Super Soil'ish (additional Guanos, Meals, etc.) would be overkill for the plants?
In your opinions what would you add to the FFOF?
-I have never used coco, and this grow will be outdoors. Most say sphagnum peat moss is superior.
-I was thinking of the Roots Organic worm castings, although "Bu's Malibu Compost" looks tempting.
-Some like to cut their FFOF with either Roots 707 or Happy Frog, thoughts?
Right now I have some seeds going in dixie cups under T-5 (Greenpoint Hickok Haze and Female Seeds C99), which will eventually be moved to 1 gallon/3 gallon and finish in 5 gallon outside.
Anyways thanks for any input and happy growing!
