Irie-I's organic medicine garden mix

I

irie-i

hey folks. im quite comfortable over at growroom designs and equipment, but i guess this is more approprate here.

i'm expecting my clones in 2 weeks or so for my club-grow. yesterday i prepared the soil:
the ingredients:




pro-mix BX... i prefer HP but it wasnt available
4 cups welcome harvest farm 4-4-4 super grow mix
4 cups alfalfa meal
2 1/2 cups high P bat guano
2 1/2 cups lime
1 bag (30l) earth worm castings
~ 5 gallons perlite
3 shovels full of leftover unused mix from my last grow



this mix has cottonseed meal which is high acid. i prefer the gaia brand which is more alfalfa and canola i think, but i couldnt get it

and just for fun heres a photo of the guano bag



i open the bale of promix and spread it on the floor. then i break up all the chunks best i can and pour all the other ingredients on



i mix it with a rake and a shovel for a while. then i innoculate with a compost tea that has bubbled about 24 hours




the tea is preservation dude's mix, approximatly:
1 tbs per gallon molasses, alfalfa meal, and earth worm castings
1 tsp per gallon soluble kelp powder
grozyme

then pour more water on the "dirt" and mix it till its about even

i filled it into garbage bags to "brew" till my baby girls come

Nice :yes: So, you mixed how much soil total? And you did it on the floor of the room? So I take it you cleaned and bleached after that, huh?

Nice set-up for mixing irie-i. I mix on an 8x8 tarp in my garage also. More room to work. I like to measure everything in 5 gallon buckets. I like the Super mix you use also. I will have to see if I can get that in the US. I'am currently using the FF OF for my base. I like all the additives in this time and as I recycle i will add everything back in and this stuff looks pretty good. You could really build on it.

irie-i - i'll be using the High P guano by harvest farm in week 4 of flower. I will make a tea, and as i can see on the website they call for "one tablespoon per 4 liters of water. " I will prob. add mollasses and a little WC.

does that 1tablespoon per 4 liters sound a bit to high ?
1/2cup/5gal ?
