Sorry about that - Custom Hydronutrients
They sell a wide range of products including base mineral salts for those who want to make their own hydroponic nutrients. Seems like the way to go.
Watch their S&H charges. Definitely an interesting approach.

I am working on using my 10 gallon rez s a no till container.(gotta use that botanicare for something) You have demonstrated that it can be done in a 5 gallon container. Any pointers for me? I will run side by side with recycled/amended plants. Will be interesting seeing disturbed VS non disturbed soil growing next to each other...
I put it in the bokashi bin. I also put meat, cheese, bread, etc in there, layered with finished EWC and sprayed with Lacto B. Once it's full it sits undisturbed for 2 weeks to digest then gets dumped at the bottom of the compost pile (i dig a core sample out of the pile to fill my worm bin, throw bokashi on the bottom and cover with compost.Do you add your butter/oily remains to the compost or worms after? i've heard of too much oil in the compost being not so favorable(don't know if its true) but i've added them anyways figuring that in smaller amounts it couldn't hurt too much and then the worms are gonna digest it again anyways.

Good job, and welcome!Well I'm proud to say ive finished this whole thread, finally. It took most of my weekend but it was time well spent. Should have read this a long time agooo lol. My first shot at making an organic soil mix was completely botched because i use bagged potting soil from GH (eww) called JUST RIGHT. Supposedly had all the ammendments you would need so I figured I wouldnt have to add much. Threw in some rice hulls and a mere 1 pound of compost and EWC LOL and boy did that soil suck...
Had no idea how important the Compost/EWC part was at the time. Same deal with the aeration... This shit was based on Coco and held water like a sponge.
Anyway I started building a new soil with the help of CC and few others here in the organic section. Its pretty simple but i will be adding in new goodies as i begin recycling, im just tryna to get a quality soil started for a good price.
This is what my mix is looking like
1 cubic foot of Coast of Maine Lobster Compost (was highly reccomended by JErry and CC)
DIdn't really measure but 1-1.5 cubic feet of Lambert sphagnum peat moss
Don't have yet but will be adding 1.5 c.f. of perlite for drainage/aeration
Also dont have yet but grabbed a 8lb bag of Buffaloam and will be throwing in about half of that into the mix and keeping the remaining for making teas and such.
To keep it simple i decided to go with KIS nutrient pack to add to this mix. This product was reccomended by a few trustworthy members on here and seemed much easier then sourcing 50 lbs bags of all different ammendments or getting ripped off on the price of the 5lb boxes. This mix ammends 4 c.f of soil so it should work out great and I will have plenty extra.
Anyone see any problems with this mix?
Or any suggestions?
1 question I have...
I know we are not worried about the ph here but i have seen Gascanastan reccomend adding some oyster shell powder to seedling mixes. I did not source individual products so should i use my base mix for my seedlings or ammend it with the KIS pack and let it sit and compost for a bit longer?
Thank you! You guys rock!
^^^^wordI am not sure, but I think the coast of Maine lobster compost should have plenty of CaCO3 to buffer the whole mix. EWC contains it as well, so it should be work. Letting it sit for a bit wouldn't hurt.
Probably the nicest smelling buds that I've seen in several years. The Sativa taste and aroma are off the chart. The effect is very uplifting and yet settling at the same time. I smoked a bunch this morning - definitely a keeper for geezers like me who disdain Indica lines.What do you think of that Durban x BMR Coot?
We like it too....seems pretty balanced..another one of those accidents I talk about.Probably the nicest smelling buds that I've seen in several years. The Sativa taste and aroma are off the chart. The effect is very uplifting and yet settling at the same time.

Even my professional taster loves it - Mrs. Coot and I value her opinion. Between the 2 of us we have over 90 years collective experience in the cannabis arena.

If there are hopes for a productive and trouble free African cross line with a great effect...it will be the Nigerian x BMR...between those of us who have the seed we should be able to put something together by X-mas 2013

Complete with the carrying case so that you look like a hit man for 'the organization' - wee! Fun times indeed! Before the dreary Reagan laws promising long prison sentences for everyone......
