I’m using LC soil mix 2 & feeding with guano tea #3 on page 1 of this forum. Do you recommend anything in addition to that tea as I transition in to flower ? So far my plants look great! Thanks in advance for any knowledge. Here is a list of
the strains I have in veg rn ready to flower
Cherry vanilla cookies
Sherbert cookies
Obama kush x zkittlez
Honey badger haze
never done myself but im also curious to hear some outcomes on the mixesI have been reusing the same soil for a few years. All leaves that I pull off the plants during veg/flower, I just throw in a garbage can full of old soil. I also have all the roots in the soil. I just add perlite, worm castings, and some Dr. Earth. During veg/flower I only use a little Cal/Mag a few times. In flower, I just add a little Bat Quano to the dirt. I use to use Fox Farm/ Advanced nutrients, but I stopped using liquid fertilizers. Now with the reused soil, I really only have to add water..
Not sure if its a good idea to keep adding leaves to the soil, but I have noticed that the soil has developed a rich funky smell, and most of the plants always seem to be quite green all the way through flowering.
Just curious if most people add the leaves/roots to soil mixes?

I've grown in soil for a few years and this mix for the last 2. I grow with LC's and mix with guanos for a 'water-only' mix. It's a great mix, much cheaper than bagged soil mixes. The only thing i add is a little Bti to keep the fungus gnats from getting going.

I have been following the mix in the recipe. I didn't let it cook much, maybe a week until I popped the seedlings in. I've completed one grow with this recipe so far. Growth on that one was a bit slow, but I think this was due to low rh in my winter tent, not the soil.are you using the amount in the recipe? and did you let it cook or sit for a bit before planting? I want to do more in the soil so I dont have to keep doing these teas, but was looking at living soils that involve way more things to mix in. Im very very happy with how things been coming for the last several years we have been brewing the guano teas, its hard to switch from it. I plan to do living soil, but am very stocked up and guano and have been thinking hard on doing this same mix that you are. Would love to hear more about your thoughts on it.

I've started another grow in the same recipe and Im a few weeks into veg. No signs of nute problems so far. I expect I may have to top dress some guanos or pour on some compost tea to add some P in flower but we will see.
