growing like this....yay or nay....

[Guest]

i want to use a mix of
1 part EWC
1 part Vermi
1 part perlite

but i have a few ?'s.

i want to transplant a month old seedling into a 5 gal with this mix with the following added...
2 tbs d. lime per gal
2 tbs bone per gal
1 tbs blood per gal
1-2 tbs kelp per gal

i plan on feeding it a tea of molasses/EWC's every other feeding thruout the entire plants lifetime. i also have some P Guano that i will supplement during mid and late flowering...

do you see me running into any problems with this?

is this mix resuable?

Welcome to IC Mag.
Why not stick with one good soiless mix? Here are two that will work for any stage of growing. Germing, vegging, flowering, cloning and mothers...

Here are two very good organic soiless mixes...

LC’s Soiless Mix #1:
5 parts Canadian Spaghnam Peat or Coir or Pro-Moss
3 parts perlite
2 parts wormcastings or mushroom compost or home made compost
Powdered dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
...Check the link in my sig line below for cheap earthworm castings. Free shipping to the eastern USA.

Or, if you use Pro Mix or Sunshine Mix...
LC's Soiless Mix #2:
6 parts Pro Mix BX or HP / Sunshine Mix (any flavor from #1 up)
2 parts perlite
2 parts earthworm castings
Powdered dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
If you use a 3 qt. saucepan as “parts” in the amounts given above, it equals about 1 cu. ft. of soiless mix and you can just dump in a cup of powdered dolomite lime.

...and if you want to use bone, blood and kelp...

1 tablespoon blood meal per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil mix
2 tablespoons bone meal per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of soil mix
1-tablespoon kelp meal per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil mix or Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract as directed
1 tablespoon per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of Jersey Greensand to supplement the K (potasium) in the Kelp Meal and seaweed extract.
Mix all the dry ferts into the soiless mix well and wet it, but don't soak it with Liquid Karma and water @ 1 tbs./gal. Stir and mix it a few times a week for a week or two so the bacteria can get oxygen and break down the bone meal and make it available. And don't let the mix dry out, keep it moist and add water as needed. It'll also have time to get the humic acids in the Liquid Karma going and the dolomite lime will be better able to adjust the pH of a peat based mixture too.

It would work, but I would reccomend "transplanting" up in severl size containers untill you get to the 5 gal....It would be better on the roots....JMO
