Hey People!
I am mid grow on my first organic experiment. Just joined though, so I will be playing catch up on posting my detailed grow info and pics.
I am currently on Day 50 from seed.
I've been flowering for 14 Days at this point. Started flower when the tallest plant was 14".
This first post is my soil info. This is Subs recipe that I tweaked/swapped a few ingredients on. *Edit* This is also quarter scale to Subs original*
Base Soil Mix
Nectar for the Gods #4...............3 cubic ft.
Central Iowa Worm Castings....8.25 lbs.
Pumice..................................................3lbs
Macro Nutrient Amendments
Fish Bone Meal.............10ozs......4-12-0
Bone Meal.......................10ozs.......3-15-0
Sea Bird Guano.............20ozs.......0-11-0
Blood Meal.....................20ozs.......12-0-0
Bio-Fish.............................10ozs.......7-7-2
Crab Meal........................10ozs.......4-3-0
Alfalfa Meal....................14ozs.......2.5-0.5-2.5
Total Macro Nutrient Volume = 94ozs
Adjusted NPK ratio for total macro nutrient volume = 4.84-6.35-0.59
(Single Ingredient Volume divided by total macro nutrient volume) then add each adjusted ingredient ratios together)
**Does anyone know if this formula for figuring the adjusted NPK ratio is legit?**
Micro Nutrients, Trace Minerals & Mycorrhizae
Dolomite Lime......1/4 cup
Basalt..........................1/2 cup
Mykos.........................1/2 Tbsp
Humic Acid.............1/2 Tbsp
Epsom Salt..............3 Tbsp
Oyster Shell............20ozs
I mixed the base mix, macro nutrient amendments, micro nutrients, trace minerals & mycorrhizae with 2 gallons of water.
I let that cook for 2 months.
I filled my planters (5 gallon buckets with lots of small holes drilled in sides and bottom) with about 4 inches of the super soil mix on the bottom, then a 1 inch layer of super soil mixed with bagged Nectar #4. Then I filled the remainder of the bucket with more bagged Nectar #4. I did leave a few inches of head space in the buckets.
Next post will be pics and other info I've collected for this grow up until now.
