    Natures living super soil

    If you are constantly flushing your coco it may not be the right thing, as it would eventually be washed away. But, if you have a lot of coco in your mix, I don't know why it wouldn't work. They have a good website, https://www.natureslivingsoil.com/, and they respond to questions quickly. I...

    Natures living super soil

    I've used NLS for a few grows. I'm still learning it. But, while I think it is good to give it a boost of tea or top dressing just as the plants enter pre-flower. I DON'T recommend using NLS as the top dressing. It has too much N for the bloom phase and I had some N toxicity. (I can't say that...

    Super soil recipe opinion

    Thanks for your detailed response. Rather than Epsom Salt or another non-organic approach, I added coconut water powder to my base fertigation solution. It has a great variety of nutrients along with plenty of calcium and magnesium. I also added the HPK to the bag when I made my NLS tea that I...

    I'm using NLS as well this time. When do you add your tea and top dressing? I'm growing autos in 3-gallon cloth pots. I plan on adding a tea at the beginning of flowering, week 4. I will then top dress on week 7. I am supplementing with Mammoth P, Mikrobs, Fish Sh!t, Aloe Vera and coconut water...

    Super soil recipe opinion

    It was recommended that I switch to General Hydroponics CALiMAGic at four weeks. If Epsom Salt is not right, what do you suggest? I can stretch the budget and get som CALiMAGic. Or, do you have something else to suggest? I would like to stay as "organic as possible."

    Super soil recipe opinion

    The Roots Organic Elemental is a slowly soluble mix much as you describe. I've been told that after a few weeks it is depleted and since it is not water-soluble it was suggested that I use a liquid supplement. Rather than spend another $25 on a product I thought I'd go with the old standby Epsom...

    How long have you been using Nature's Living Soil? I am about to begin my third round with it. Personally, I don't think that I've given it a chance to really perform. Last grow I augmented the pot far too much and it let to complications during the middle of the plant's life. This time I am...

    Blumat with Soil and Megacrop?

    Thanks. Great information. I tried to cancel my Junior order earlier today but missed the window. I'll either return them or use them on some house plants. For the right garden, Blumats are a great option.

    Super soil recipe opinion

    I'm going to use Root Organics Elemental as an amendment when I build my soil. I expect that it will start adding Epsom Salt to my water at about week four. The plan is to apply it at a rate of 0.5 tsp/L every two weeks. How does this sound to you? Will this allow enough Epsom Salt to remain in...

    Just a few edge burned leaves, probably nutrient burn?

    Have you considered a Blumat 50205 Digital Water? They are about $75 on Amazon. I was listening to Kis Organics podcast Episode 22. On the show Steve Troy, the North American distributor of Blumats, suggested these as target values using their digital water meter: Veg: 120-150 mBar; Flower...

    Blumat with Soil and Megacrop?

    Great information. One quick question, are you using the Blumat Juniors that don't' have a dripper or the others that have a pump and use the drippers that you adjust for each pot? I am going to try the Juniors. I know how wet the pot is determined by the height of the reservoir. But how do I...

    Aloe flakes

    I purchased the 200x Aloe flakes from BuildASoil earlier this year. I really don't have a baseline to compare it to, so I can't tell you if it works or not. However, the amount required is very small and the smallest bag can last a home grower for a long time. For my next garden, I will be using...
