My coco lack on something

[Dog Star]

Finaly you listen what am saying,thanx for that.

Need to point you that you look for good organic knowledge about how plants grow
in nature,you can go on organic vegetable forums and get a bunch of good advices
how to grow proper plant,also here at ICMAG forum you have some great
organic growers or you can ask those guy that grows tomatoes 3 meters high,

everything is in preparation.. or if you will be good organized you will get growing very fast
and you will have more info on understanding a World around self,
specialy you will get more easier how to feed plant in proper way..
but off course that move needs from you some energy,energy to learn
and accept those that you learned.

After that schooling time and that depends on a level you wish to learn
that will contrast directly on a amount of a time you will spend for this
skill level,

it really depends on you and only on you if you wish to become better grower..

i just point you with those simple question.." Do You know how plants grow in nature???"

Once you get this you could also start to grow in soil and dont use PH/EC meter..

wouldnt be nice to simplify your grow and aloud your plants that they eat when
they wish and what they wish in terms of nutes..??

Its much better in mine thoughts than look with anxiety in those PH/EC values
all the time and still have some defs.. actually with true organic growing
you will get better medicine,your plants will be happy and they will translate
this happiness to you after harvest,they will grow whithouth any defs
if you made your soil mix proper,etc..

less bothering more enjoying in plant and growing after you get a knowledge
and fine tune yourself for this advanced technique.

Learn also about beneficial soil bacteries,learn about mycoriza,
learn about how to made soil alive.. that will open your eyes more better
and you get things more faster.

I have few successfull grows outdoor in soil with pots. I really enjoy my kali mist in peat most compost only feed I give her was nettle tea and bat guano. Pulled 6oz from 6.5 litters pot. Great plant with amazing high. I also have few really bad runs develop botritys, powder mildew, spider mites, etc.
Once I start running indoor in tent I stop growing outdoor. I have few runs with comersial soil and nutes but i don't really like my result I never try to grow organic indoor. I need to learn a lot more.

If you use soil than use purest form that you can found,

Balkan area is famous by black soil,turbo humus rich black gold..
very good soil for potting but then dont use aerators,if you revive your old soil
you actually need only wormcastings and other organic amendments mixed inside,

dont use peat,dont use perlite,dont use vermiculite..

this move will give more food to your plants and better quality of soil mix in the end.

Yes I diffenetly want to give a try. Its not in my area I need to travel around 200-300 km. to find black soil and dig some. Im always afraid to dig soil from outside and grow indoor do I need to sterilized this soil? And if I sterilired do I kill all life inside?

 

[Dog Star]

If the soil is sterilized than you need to inoculate her again,

but maybe you have on your market some good brand of black soil that you can use
together with wormcastings for your basic mix.

Here we have this kind packed in 50 and 80 liters bags..

 

[maimunji]

Here we have all kind of bagged soil. Almoust everything is peat most compost I can't find black soil bagged. If something contain soil its not more than 40% and its amended with perlite, white and black peat. I don't have good results with this mixes but I always use them with comersial fertilizers like canna, hesi, etc. Maybe this is reason and also adding dolomite lime to mix, epsom salt, perlite and worm casting.

 

[Dog Star]

You can add agro lime,it good buffers this kind of peat based mixes..

i know actually what happends with peat based mixes and thats why i dont use it,
with peat mixes you could easily get PH swings and then normaly plant
gets issues.

But look good in mycoriza and beneficial bacteries,this are big helpers and
will longer maintain proper PH for plant growth.

https://www.biotabs.nl/ They have bacteries
and mycos,using this products and they are very good.

Look between soil brands those that is for organic gardening,

guess you have organic mixes,best are those in big packing where fruits and vegetables
are drawn on bags.. this soil need to be of better quality if you have this on your
market.
