I was planning on the Epsom just to get ahead of any possible deficiency as Id read it has little effect if unneeded but the seaweed would be easy to add to the weekly and I prefer that as an additive than trying to add Epsom topically later on.
Ive just started looking into rock dust as an additive, super cool. Any chance this could replace some of my perlite % ?
Same question on the coco. Also Ive read that coco has a great root microbiome. Will they play nice with whats living in my soil or will I need to monitor them?
O! How do you feel about clay pebble/ rock topping for soil?
Thank you very much for the information.
The rockdust I use has no drainage benefits as it seems to be exactly what it says on the packet,fine dust.
The coco could quite easily replace 10% of your perlite and have no negative effects on your soil life.
The clay/rock pebble topping isn't something I've done before so I can't really help you with that. I know some do it to help reduce rising humidity from the pots
@ blue Have you tried mills range yet? It freaking rocks IMHO ,
Ive just done 1st run with them on the gorillas , Its Easy to use with just part A+B + 1 supplement ( start - r , c4 , pk ) depending on stage of growth , 100% no white residue at bottom of pots at the end of the grow , And not mega expensive unless you run vitalize , and is semi organic having the best of both worlds . This run was 100% problem free running at 1.6EC during mid flower
Use 50/50 gypsum and oyster shell instead of Epsom, the coco is mainly for the microbiology for consumption of organic matter not only aeration for your aeration I would use rice hulls which will break down into organic matter at the same time releasing loads of silica and instead of perlite I would use a new product called growstones,
Rockdust is a must in my soil mix also as for your ratio I would go
1:1:1
Coco/peat
Aeration
GOOD QUALITY castings or compost
And sorry what’s the 65% soil your adding if your making a soil bro?

Hi Blue,
I am growing in living soil. I did a slurry test with equal amounts soil and distilled water and got a reading of 7.6-7.7
I do not want to be feeding my soil anything that will interfere with the microbial life.
How can I lower my soil PH?

Thank you! It was awesome of you to start this thread!
I wasn’t asked but if I may.
if the soil is living I would leave it or use these two options preferably the latter!
How bigs your pot/container even better bed!
You will be able to lower your ph with the addition of gypsum and it won’t happen over night and you’ll have to be careful doing this because you can lock up magnesium,
I would just do a couple compost/casting teas without the addition of any nutrients just the microbes and let them deal with the matter, and again it all comes down to the quality of the material your starting with.
I haven’t checked my ph once in 4 years when it comes to the soil. The last bed was 3 years old and just run itself,
Are you using a mulch or cover crop because believe it or not this can help too
