So i see people sending soil and xompost off for analasys and then be like hey my p is low and ca is low howmuch do i need ehatnot to add to meet mj.

Well whats the target if i get my soils npk tested after mixing... If i test my ewc more specificly. Or buy an ewc with an analasys done... What npk targets am i aiming for?

How do i know if the analasysnis good for MJ?

I cant find any data on this but see people quoting it and talking about it like its more commmon knowledge than water phing lol

I haven't done a soil test yet, but it could be kinda helpful. My problem with that is I'm doing no-till in a bunch of different pots and there wouldn't really be a way to test the soil without mixing it all up first, since the top layer has more dry amendments than the bottom since I top dress.

Also, just because something reads high in one element, doesn't necessarily mean it's available to the plant. Not saying they're bad. I'd get one if it would be simple, but it wouldn't in my case.

TBH I haven't bothered to do a soil test either in this soil. I used to get dozens of soil tests done periodically when actually farming, but indoors with 4 Canadian recreational legal plants, it's unlikely I'll get the info I need for the money if the plants seem happy already anyway.

Just feels like a gamble on ewc after hearing what there all fed.
Mite have struck gold though found 1 guy said feeds potatoes and non gmo grains.

Waiting to find out if hes feeding them barley! Coot wud go mad lol.

Still feels like if i mix 3 ewc id get best of both.
1Manure n leaf mould ecw 30l
2manure and veg ewc 30l
3 cerial and potatoes ewc 30l

Lol
