Last yeat I grew a beautiful organic plant, but because of various problems with mold etc, I didnt pay enough attention to flushing , and my organic cannabis didnt turn out as good as I had hoped.

Fast forward to this year(INDOORS) because of a lack of funds , I didnt create as healthy a soil as I could have.

I used something CALLED "organic top soil" from my local nursery, the trouble is this soil has sticks in it!, and even rocks sometimes  , but I filtered it the best I could and mixed it with some verm, a little sand, kiln fired clay pebbles , and a little touch of cottenseed meal (for some of my plants)

I used the same basic mix(more or less) for all of my new plants, Jacks Suprise x Afghanica , and Magic Crystal, in my logs I have detailed the problems that resulted , and I will post pics(both here , and in my logs)


I have done alot of reading(I dont have a net connection right now) , old cannabis mags that I have , things I printed out etc.

I would like some feedback on my plan.

I am going to use a mix that I have wanted to try for sometime.......

Quote:

The bulk of the mix- 70% of the finished product is made up of equal parts peat or sphagnum moss (I prefer corse cut sphagnum moss) and perlite.
Then worm castings are mixed in to about 15% of the fineshed product. About 10% of the finished product is made up of some kind of organic compost, either green or brown. Any rich green manure will do, or bat/seabird guano or seaweed for that matter. The final product is made up of a mixture of equal parts trace mineral elements , granulated charcoal,  washed sand, and volcanic ash.

Thats a mix by DJ Short, and I plan to transplant my plants into it asap.

I also plan to pick up some Nematodes as I think that the flys that plaugued my garden might have even spread disease(when I post the pics maybe some of you will know what was wrong)

I also plan to buy some advanced nute products, iguana grow and bloom, organic B, and if I can afford them sensizym, voodoo juice,and piranha.
(I am VERY low on cash and waiting for a HUGE tax return, and a paycheck.....so for now I just want to keep my plants alive)

Mineral problems, disease, pests, nute problems, I will admit , I find indoor growing much harder then outdoor. (the worst part is, I am not even sure what all the problems were caused by, but I am learning)

With a proper soil mix,Nematodes and some good nutes, I think I can turn things around.  (they already look better then in the pics, which were taken days ago)....pics soon.

I have more to say, and ask , as I think I have done some serious learning since my last post, tomorrow when I have more time I will add more to this thread, I have multiple things from cannabis culture mags I would like to post, etc.
