Living Soil EU

[ilovegrowing]

Just as a tip, when you dont use peat, measure the ph of your soil, when everything is finished. I bought a bag of soil, without peat „living soil“ of frux i believe, and i was wondering why my plants show deficits.

Turns out ph is at 7,3 and i was watering with not enough ph adjusted water. After flushing with ph 6, and keeping watering ph levels low, it turned from dying to thriving.

I have tried sonnenerde biofaser as the fluff part and it didn't work on a long run.
Biofaser is solid left over from a biogas plant that only digeste cow dung, it's straw with a intense shit smell.
First run was ok but second run started with problems. Plants turned only light green and soil got rock solid. Imo the predigested straw did compost too fast and sucked up all the n. I was also thinking(didn't measure) that ph got too high because the biofaser isn't acidic like coco or peat.

Tad at KIS Organics (https://www.kisorganics.com/)
has been an invaluable resource for me over the last several years.

I highly recommend him for all soil related questions.

P. S. Orange’s Greenhouse mentioned the Cannabis Cultivation and Science podcast; it’s good stuff.
