Water Only TLO that Can be combined with Teas!!!

 

Base mix:

 

1. 1/3 sphagnum peat moss

2. 1/3 aération (perlite, pumice, lava rock, rice hulls, etc.)

3. 1/3 HIGH QUALITY compost and/or worm casting

 

     To every 1 cubic foot (~7.5 gallons) of the base mix add :

 

1. 1/2 cup kelp meal

2. 1/2 cup crab shell meal

3. 1/2 cup neem or karanja cake

4. 1 cup gypsum

5. 1 cup CaCO3 (oyster shell flour, dolomite lime, calcitic lime, etc.)

6. 4-5 cups rock dust per cf Rock dust should be super fine: the consistency of flour.

 

That’s it!!! 

 

The key here is quality compost/worm castings. That is the LIVING part that makes this whole soil mix work. So it must be HIGH QUALITY. Water with dechlorinated water and you are set!! No pHing, no checking the TDS of run off, no cal/mag, no BS! And best of all it works fabulously in a SIP!!!

​

Notes: Clackamas coots mix is a great soil mix but in our side by sides we found that it is too bacterial rich and does not provide any  fungal components. University of Oregon has found that 20% castings is about the correct amount to keep a well balanced soil. This mix also lacks a potassium component and thus lacks the ability to build flowers and reuse your soils without the need to remix.

Check out my own mix that I crafted especially for cannabis and for longevity and reusability.
