I have not been around here much in the last 7 years, but now i have much more time for my fun. Retired.
The Silver Bullet, a product that will somehow increase our yields and potency. Make our plants impervious to insects and mold and generally become Super Plants. Microbes to do specific tasks... WOW it's nuts.
I don't use such products anymore.
I use recycled soil for my grows. Although I use fresh for new seeds.
I keep it simple and have no actual "Formula" for soil.
For me the size of container is very important. I'm not good at cramming mad numbers of plants in my tent.
I have evolved into using large Tubs this year. These give me more leeway. I need flexibility and to be able to take off for a couple weeks when needed. If my water pump goes down, They will survive.
My indoor lights:
The extra soil and the moisture it holds works great for me. This Tub is on wheels otherwise it's not moving.
I had Romulan BX on the right, Mulanje on the left and in the middle a Mulanje x Panama Red.
I have a 2 inch layer of Turface clay pellets on the bottom of the tub, also some holes to let out excess water.
Setting up for success in the beginning so I don't need to add microbe products, or boutique amendments.
Chopping up all the old roots when prepping used soil as fine as you can is basically the same thing as adding Myco products. The old roots presumably are covered in microbes and if I remember my research many of the products out there are based on ground up roots.
My main amendment is Chicken Shit Pellets with added Calcium from https://www.7springsfarm.com/
Liquid Kelp and Molasses to get things going.
I have not had hard to deal with deficiencies in the grows in the tubs.
Plenty of room, good clean water and some decent lights and Im GTG.
I started out trying to be the mad scientist with all the products out there. It did not work for me.
My Outdoor much the same
Let nature take it's course. I had many spiders and predator insects prowling the outdoor plants.
I even brought some into the indoor space.
Plant on the right Flower Power x Pre 98 Bubba.
Last few runs I have focused on growing seeds from friends. Although I did break down and buy a few clones to try out.
As soon as I get the ICM handles figured out I will of course give the Seed Makers full credit.
