I've been stressing that to my brother for his last 3 runs.
He's using less but I still feel that he doesn't let them dry enough between waterings.

What type of soil testing do you refer to? Testing what? These are the kinds of things I haven't been doing, or even caring about until now.BigJarGrows wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 2:30 pmFor myself the best thing I did was started soil testing. I am not smart enough to diagnose a plant and when in organics if you see the issue chances are it’s a bit late. And learning how to properly water. And lastly pot size. Go with as large a pot you can as it will just make doing this easier.
Just my thoughts from a guy starting this himself and what he’s learned in the last 2 grows.

I had to look up the GHO soil. Being in the states that's probably not a good option for me. I did however buy an American made " super" soil for the next run. Fox Farms Happy Frog. From what I gathered, it is a mix of worm castings, bat guano, peat, coco, perlite, buffers and minerals. It's pretty popular here. Just got to learn to keep it healthy.MrNice wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 11:07 amHey Trippster62

I'll go ahead and buy my myco. .... But, thanks for the info ..... I suppose.The Aspie Toker wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 12:55 amUse Rhizotonic. It helps with shock if potting up as well as good root growth. Speaking of potting up, if you don't have any mycorrhizal fungi, then semen is a cheap substitute.
That sounds like a good technique. When I picked up my Happy Frog they were out of Ocean Forest. I may have to order online. I have perlite, worm castings and Great White mycorrhizae plus trichoderma.
