Hello marijuana passioners,
It's been some time since I last ventured onto this sight. I hope all is well.
I'm finally starting my outdoor grow for this season (late as usual) and I was wondering what you guys thought for a soil mix based on what I have so far:
Perlite - 5 bags (8 qt. each)
Vermiculite - 1 bag (4 qt.)
Sphagnum peat moss - 3 cu. ft (huge bag compressed)
Happy Frog potting mix - 2 cu. ft.
Fox Farms OF mix - end of a bag, probably only 8 qt. left
Bone meal
Blood meal
Crushed Dolomite Lime Pellets - couldn't find the powder online
Epsom salt
Crushed egg shells
Coffee grounds
My biggest concern is the amount of each part of the mix to add. I know peat moss is rather acidic so does that mean I should include extra dolomite lime? For my last grow I sort of just threw in what I thought seemed right and from the start I had problems and I'm almost certain it was because I added too much/too little of something.
I'm working with limited funds right now but if there is anything else necessary that you think I should include, please let me know.
I will be growing outside where the existing soil doesn't seem too bad to begin with. When I finally found my plot after a long day of scouting, I almost didn't notice that I was standing on the remains of a deer skeleton...not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I bet the soil is nice and fertile in that spot lol.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
