LC stands for Lavendar Cowboy. He is/was a mod in this forum. A well respected person. It is his formula that has helped us all.

i'll use LC's SOILLESS MIX #1 with biobizz nutes.

when my LC's SOILLESS MIX #1 would be ready to use after i mix peatmoss,worm casts and dolomite ?

can i immediately use LC's soilless mix as soon as i stir peat moss,perlite and worm casts ?

Should i water the mix before using ?

should i let the mix sit for a while ?if so , how long ?

 

[BurnOne]

immediately

Veg mix-
1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Use it to water with every 3rd watering.

Can I leave out the high N bat guano in this tea, and use more PSG? My PSG is 10-10-2. I thought I could avoid getting the high N guano because I'm not vegging long (Micro grow) and would have only used it once or twice. 11 seemed like a lot of N. Now I think I am getting N deficiency.

You'll just have to try it and see. This is why I always recommend following the recipe exactly.

help!

help!

Hey burn these pictures are of my mum in lc's mix #1 feeding on guano teas.

She's had a springtails invasion so I had to neem her with some essential oils and eucalyptus soaps. Now she looks like complete shit. She was displaying these colors on her leaves before the neeming, which i attributed to the bugs. I flushed her out after the neem treatment now i'm back to feeding her the teas. I'm not sure how to treat this, and I think that feeding her the teas are not working. I'm going to foliar feed some epsom salts because I do not have lime in the soil, instead I have oyster shells. Any advice? thanks man.

There you go. You didn't follow the recipe. Use dolomite lime next time as directed.

Yeah, it's my first time, and I have made errors as I learn. Does that look like Nitrogen deficiency to you?

 

[Vetus Fossor]

[BurnOne]

After you bubble your EWC/molasses for about 24 hours, pour in your fish/seaweed and use it immediately.

1tbs LK per gal of water or per gal of LC mix?

1tbs LK per gal of water or per gal of LC mix?

Mix all the dry ferts into the soiless mix well and wet it, but don't soak it with Liquid Karma and water @ 1 tbs./gal.

Hey, sorry to ask what might have already been answered in this thread (I searched but to no avail)...

is it 1tbs of LK per gallon of soilless mix (#1 in my case) OR
1tbs of LK per gallon of water added to the mix?

Great thread BurnOne, I've got beans hopefully germing in cups of #1 as we speak

Liquid Karma and water @ 1 tbs./gal.

That's 1tbs. LK per gallon of water, Monk.

A tbs. of liquid in a gallon of soil wouldn't do dick.

Thanks for the reply, Cerb. But you'll be adding less than a gallon of water for each gallon of soil, so you'd actually end up using more LK if you added it based on the amount of soil than if you based it on the amount of water that you add. See what I mean?

Suppose you had 20G of soil, and that you used, say, 5G of water to moisten that soil (just a guess, you probably wouldn't use even that much water). Based on volume of soil, you'd use 20tbs of LK. Based on volume of water, you'd only use 5tbs of LK.
