Yes, but I'm using compressed promix, therefor the volume is different dry compressed vs wet. I'm assuming its volume after its rehydrated?

I give a little more 284 and the light green is there fast 50/50 next topdress .

I got a question about lighting if anyone can clarify, if I have a light that is roughly 30,000 lux at 18in, and I put another 30,000 lux light right beside it. Do I now have 60,000? Or a little less? Is that how that works? Sorry I dont have a meter to test to see what it would be.

You can get a ballpark idea using a par meter app, though I'd take it with a 15-20% grain of salt

First organic grow! Beginning 3rd week of flower on the indo plants(photos: Gelato kiss, PHC, purple Haze, white widow, Autos: tangerine dream and white lsd) I started the autos a lil late.. Using GG 444&284 along with Dr.Es 463(alternate top dress with 444 in veg).. threw a couple EWC teas in there using down to earth amendments. Soil mix is 1/3promix veg&herb, 1/3coco loco, 1/3 EWC, with 75/50 ratio of 444 and 284 also added more perlite, great white, kelp, alfalfa and oyster shell flour.. The outdoor is a Sour diesel In ffof. I only watered for first 60days, I just top dressed 444 and 284.. all of their feeding needs have been slightly different, so think I went in over my head for being a newb lol but they seem to all be doing pretty well. I'm here to learn more so and help, criticism wte is appreciated. Happy grows!!

Here's some bud shots of my grow using pro mix plus Gaia green amendments plus a couple other things. Over did it on nitrogen a little on a couple of them plus a little light bleaching on a couple

Whooooops

So while I was vegging my plants I had cooked my soil to transplant from 1 gal pots to 5 gal pots. Had it all ready, but then totally forgot about the tent full of soil and all the 5 gals have completely dried out.

They had 10% wc in promix HP with their starter 3tbsp/g of 444 and 284, and were cooked up nice, but life happened and I forgot to keep that soil moist. They've probably been bone dry for over a week, maybe 2.

Any ideas how should I treat this soil from here?

Just water it. You can use aloe or yucca as a wetting agent.

I watered, it seems to have taken the water fine (didn't seem hydrophobic at all?)

Do I need to reamend? Most of the microbes would be dead, but there's never been a plant in them. What would the status of the food situation be after something like this?

Should be Ok ,you could add a little ewc if its fresh to water in.All you've done is stopped the clock,within a week or two it will be ready.

Ive put bigger clones into promix and gaia without it cooking and it worked fine.

I've also put well established plant in pro mix and Gaia green that hasn't cooked, it worked fine, I remember going in the tent and you could smell the soil cooking a little bit.

Yup my sips stink for a few days after top dress with 444.

Dr. Earth also adds microbes, which Gaia Green doesn’t. If I had access to both, I’d happily use Dr. Earth for this reason.

Just came across this thread. Subbed... its about time we have one. I was starting to think I was the only one on here using dry organic ammendments.

Ya we poke fun at the nute mixers while they fret over their pH

We should have named the thread the organic dry ammendment grow thread. I have found several items to use. Happy frog makes dry ammendments, Dr Earth, as well as Down To Earth. I have a little of each but I am planning g to switch to the Down to earth blends. I plan on using the starter mix 3-3-3, vegetable mix
4-4-4 and the flower mix 4-8-4. But It's good to know I can go to home depot and get dr earth... or if I get hard up I can drive 90 minutes to a hydro store and get down to earth, happy frog, or even roots organic dry ammendments. I usually order the Down to Earth from Amazon.
