Joe's Fresh Guide to Sick Plant Diagnosis

[intotheunknown]

Its not a matter of finding plain old soil. You arent looking for soil, you are looking for the ingredients to make your own soil. Which you can find in urban areas fairly easy.
1 or 2 of the items you need you can get at home depot or lowes. cant get any more urban than that...

where can I get plain old organic honestly I agree with you and id rather add the ingredients myself like the fish meal guana earth worm castings

sorta base my soil off of somas recipe in his book organic marijuana cultivation or something along those lines

home depot.
topsoil
manure
sand
blood and bone meal
garden lime
fish emulsion
kelp
a whole line of espoma products.

if you mean feathers and crab meal and all that shit like alfalfa...you're not gonna find that in any urban areas.

Then you are stuck with the fux farms unfortunately.

Right, I was going to say that you'd need some perlite. For me this is a crap shoot, and still being a n00b, I don't see myself at the experimental stage.

heres what you need. I disagree completely with the above list.

PLAIN sphagnum peat moss
quality earthworm castings
organic compost
crab shell meal
kelp meal
neem seed meal
*basalt
*gypsum
*oystershell powder
*glacial rock dust
chunk perlite/pumice/small lava rock- Aeration

* not all needed but will make the best liming/mineral mix
oystershell and or basalt are required.

see what you can find. see what it can produce.

even in urban areas with the large dro stores, they do carry these amendments, they are tucked way in the back while all the other expensive bullshit with the fancy logos are blinding you from the goods. if you find all of these amendments, and are serious about it, PM me and ill give you measurements.

she was just left to grow how she wanted. I usually do not top or cut anything off of them at all.

Alright then.
