you could add a little dolomite lime to the mix to stabilize the PH
Here's a few good recipies, the last one if by far the best I've used: 1 part organic soil
1 part coco fiber
1 part castings
2 parts perlite 60% peat based mix with added perlite (Pro-Mix HP,Sushine Mix,ect.)
30% perlite for proper drainage and oxygen to roots
10% worm castings, they provide some N, micros, and beneficial bacteria
To each gallon of this mix I add:
2 TBS/gal dolomite lime, provides a ph buffer around 7
1 TBS/gal blood meal for N
2 TBS/gal bone mean for P (flowering mix only)
1 TBS/gal kelp meal or ground seaweed for K and trace elements
1 bag Ocean Forest
1 bag Light Warrior
1 bag planting mix
1/6 of the big bag of FoxFrm Chunky Perlite |
