    Crazy thing is that every time I see people put everything into a volcano shape before mixing I think "why dont they just spread it flat and spread it thin THEN pile it up?"
    I am so happy to finally see somebody do that in a video, it always makes my mixing SOOO much quicker and easier, GREAT video!!!!!!!!!!

    Is making a "tea" the same as creating "Living Soil?" I'm using earthworm castings, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, Natures Living Soil, Recharge and molasses. I made two gallon and distribute to 6 plants rotted in coco coir and perlite. Just started three days ago. Fingers crossed. I make my own RO water.

    • @iplantreez1344
      @iplantreez1344 2 роки тому +1

      Most growers make compost tea with worm castings and molasses. Other growers add more organic inputs into theirs teas. It really depends on what you are aiming for. Another thing, most teas are used in organic soil recipes, I personally have not seen many people apply these teas to coco (hydro). But I'd incourage you too look it up for yourself and not just listen to some random dude in the comment section (me).
      The absolute best advise I can give you is to look up " Build A Soil " in youtube and watch the " 10 x 10 grow series " it is very informative and probably one of the biggest following in the growmie community.

    Can i ask a question... I bought this exact receipt ....i live in Spokane Washington... Its about 32 degrees farinhiet in my garage now.. And its going to get as low as 6 degrees in January... Would that super soil cook in my garage that cold...in a plastic container... Should i put a heat mat under it ?.. or would that cook the microbes...it gets to 80 F ...im. Thinking the heat mat isn't enough. ...if i keep mixing to move to soil to bottom.. Would i ruin in the soil? ... Cause its no till ?...

I recommend you stick with the old time methods like composting and compost tea, you’ll see results better then using chemical products that’s harmful to the living organisms in the soil.

      @nicholasmckelvey6403 Рік тому

      So from what I’m gathering from the video, the “RO” water is to allow the soil to cook better and not have any trace elements such as chlorine negatively affect the microbes you are trying to achieve however when you are watering your plants I would say regular tap water would be your best bet to give them the necessary micro nutrients because at that point the soil with have enough microbes where the chlorine etc won’t negatively impact the soil as much

I've been growing organic for about 4 years now and all I do is top dress after the initial mix. "Cooking" your soil for 1-3 months prior to use isnt really doing much for you btw 🤷‍♂️ I use my soil and mixed amendments asap and just top dress after 30-40 days and I produce high quality stuff. Do your last top dress at around 4-5 weeks of flower and the plants will flush properly
