We're getting there

So, this whole grow was about checking my new soil recipe, how long it lasted before requiring re amendment. We have cube a long way, but we're getting close to the results we're looking for.

I have learned many things, and many experiences along the way but hey that's the beauty about this plant, it always helps us GROW, pun intended.

As a new grower, the important thing is GETTING STARTED, forget the surface, duct overcomplicate things, just get it started.

But for the ones who have been at this for a while, and heck even the new people..... It's all about the growing medium, this does not apply to everyone but the majority of everyone who uses SOIL based recipes, my recipe is 50/50 (soil/coco)

I'm proud to day that the recipe we've been working on for close to 4 yrs is able to provide nutrients to the current plants were growing, the bigger ones on the left side of the tent have big ol stalks amazing foliage and are just now starting to show sign of defiency, yes I know it's not smart to wait until defiencies show but we had to run on specific variables for the soil test to not allow outside variables.

Our soil blend is focusing on keeping the microbiology of the soul alive and feeding it, ain the while those microbes are feeding your plants, it really is just an add water recipe. We're running the PH between the ranges of 5.8-6.1.

Another thing to keep in mind is that environment is the most important factors well not the most important but one of the most important factors into ensuring that your plan can go ahead and uptake the nutrients because regardless of how rich your soil is how amazing the nutrients that you're buying if your plan is not in the correct environment perfect temperature perfect humidity just giving it the overall perfect VPD your plant will never grow to its full potential.

Enough rambling on, good you enjoy the video and his toy see how much the plants are loving the mix.

You got questions I'm more then glad to chop it up regarding mixtures.

It's been a while since the last post, but I thought id share with the community a lil something that has been cooking up in the Garden.

We're not really feeding anything special because the soul blend that we work with hash been holding up pretty well. It's coming close to an end of 4 months and the plants aren't really showing any alarming signs of defiency.

They get there Cal mag solution every other 2-3 day, not to strict on that part. I follow the Athena suggestion. I also use 1 ml of silica gel hydroponics solutions line, same every other 2-3 days.

I also give them A hydroziled solution soy base once a month, and liquid microbes once a week or every other week.

I have to say tho, the most important part is keeping the environment, no matter how good the nutrients are, how badazz the lineup you got plants on its, is your environment is not on point, your plants will never reach there true potential.

I've got to meet some Kool people who brought me to game and let me say, keep your environment, Temp, RH, just overall a good vpd throughout the entire plants growth you will not regret it.
