Where are you located @Virus Myth? You might not have access to my ingredients and yes some of my other threads have info on my growing practices. In a nutshell, I grow with salts and organic teas to boost bacterial populations. I use basic soils that are available in my area includings Fox Farm Happy Frog and Ocean Forest. I follow many of the principles set down by Jeff Lowenfels in his "Teaming With" series books modified for ID growing. Watering is every other day usually 1/2 gal. per 3-5 gal pot.
Some recent Haze threads of mine you might want to take a look at:
Aloha braddahs,
No sense in Marcus and Andy havin' all the fun eh. Marcus's pics of The Doors this morning just sent me over the edge. The room has been vacant for several week now as I have been busy bottling the last grow and catching up on the vacationing. But my hesitation has been mainly around what the next grow should be. I kept saying I would do a Sativa grow next but I have been having so much fun with the Indie's. That shorter grow time is certainly appealing!
With pretty much the complete catalogue in my possesson, it makes decisions somewhat difficult...

Thank you so much for the reply and info.
Im in south america, 20 degrees south of equator.
Unfortunately those products arent available here, I've heard very nice things about them. It's hard to find someone who doesnt like fox farm happy frog.
My prefered media for organics so far is Mel's Mix (square foot gardening book)
1/3 peat/coco
1/3 aeration (vermiculite, perlite, rice hulls)
1/3 compost (I use 50% 60dayold chicken manure and 50% home made worm castings)
I ammend this mix with bone meal, gypsum and lithothamnium calcareum algae, which is a calcareus algae and contains calcium, magnesium carbonate which
in theory are more fast-acting and bioavailable than dolomite lime, and have around 70 micronutrients + aminoacids. I also water with algae extract (kappaphycus alvarezii)
diluted at 1:10000 (1ml / 10L) for the phyto hormones and whatever else is in there
plus powdered humic/fulvic acids also diluted @ 1:10000 (1g/10L)
For semi-hydro I use straight zeolite (2-3mm size) which is a mineral also called clinoptilolite. there are many types of zeolite.
The one I use is sold as swimming pool filter media (it absorbs ammonia, so you can use less chlorine in your pool)
and use basacote (5g per liter of media) and water with 0,5g/L gypsum dissolved in it, to make sure that water has 100-150ppm calcium.
Many people thing gypsum is insoluble, but at this amount it dissolves, but takes a few days, so I prepare a big batch 3 or 4 days before
or use calcium nitrate to get 100ppm Ca if not in flowering, as too much nitrates tend to interfere in flowering for some strains.
Sometimes I mix in kitty litter (diatomite 1-10mm in size), not the type of litter that swells when moist.
Normally I use Tidy Cats by Purina, but there are other brands.
Diatomite when crushed and micronized is sold as diatomaceous earth.
Thanks again, Ill definately check those threads again from the beginning.
