Naw. I am trying a lot of different things to see what is what. Some pans just want to grow. Others take some effort. (tt)BVI, Burringbar, and Bunnell seem to be super aggressive and relatively easy. Some of the others have been trickier for me. (clearly having "b"s in the name is important )

I just started playing around with lay mixing (a la fahtster and Mojave) which is why there are extra steps in that grow. Probably not necessary, but you gotta love the canopies that the laymix bunch are getting in other exotics. I'm also trying to squeeze the max out of tiny amounts of spawn. So thought I would give that a spin.

If you have clean spawn and figure out what they want in your environment they just grow. I just make things look complicated because I can't leave well enough alone. I have to keep trying new things to see if they make any difference. Keeping lots of records helps, but also makes it look more complicated than it really is.

Pick a variety, follow teks, and then play around a bit. Rinse. Repeat. You got this.

I'd say it is going pretty well, thank you sir.

I did an experimental grow like that with liquid ferts and popcorn.  Equivalent to 0.3 nitrogen in my boil water worked the best of the three ratios I tried.  If you have any questions on it that aren't covered in the grow log or second post, feel free to shoot me a DM.

Another option is AIO bags or jars.  And there are folks who add liquid nutrients into their coir when they prep it.  I tried this once and it went green.  But it could have been my spawn

If you search MojaveMyc and liquid I imagine you'll find what you need in the latter regard as far as product he uses and at what ratios.

But yes!  Putting your nitrogen in your grains definitely worked on my end.

I went with 3-1-2, because that's what they recommend for grass.  Since the species I like to work with grow in fertized grass, I figured that would be a good place to start.

I would use the 12-2-10 of those two. That way you don't accidentally overshoot anything.

Not sure what Mojave is using, but I'm sure it's not just nitrogen.

Spent the summer trying different teks and not being able to find aged manure with mixed results, finally went back to my original method with manure left to age over summer and finally get a normal grow, right as the temps start to drop :/ gonna keep at it anyway, small fruits are better than no fruits

Not sure of quarts but my spawn would be a bit less than a quart and it’d be on average 1:2-1:3 with an average depth of 1.5-2 inches, I just eyeball all my measurements go with what feels right and experiment once you get the process down (:
