I’m not sure I’ve seen vermiculite used in a top dressing blend
Stops compaction and helps oxygen get to the roots. I’m adding an additional 1/2”-1” of amendments (4 cups) to the pot in effect. It’s why I do it. If it doesn’t help it sure doesn’t hurt and the reasons I was taught to do it kinda make sense.... JMHOI’m not sure I’ve seen vermiculite used in a top dressing blend
Looking awesome. Yeah I got f***** with recharge last year. It through my pH way off. I just use it sparingly now it's an amazing product ?Grow update:

Watered 1 gallon with Recharge (microbes, amino acids, etc.) and CalMag. In the past I used well water. I’m now using RO water and have learned since about RO water and calmag defecencies. My baby is MUCH happier. I PH’d at 6.6. Even though recharge tells you not to PH that the microbes will auto adjust. I’ve always found this to be bullspit in every product that makes the claim. At least with soil.

Putting the cloth on large gravel allows me to water with a bit of run off without having to come back every Corolla hours to vacuum it up or risk root rot.

Everything is stacking nicely. She has a little stretch but nothing unmanageable so far.
I learned my lesson WAAAYYYY back with Advanced Nutrients “Proper PH” line. I did it with soil and found out quickly the only proper PH is what I did to it, Never again. What’s your experience with silica? I don’t like what it does to my leaves. Rhino Skin from AN was ther version and though I used it. I noticed that strange texture/ color change when i did. I’ve got blue planets addictive but when I used it I got the same results.Looking awesome. Yeah I got f***** with recharge last year. It through my pH way off.

Hey you know about Urb?? Same kinda deal (microbes, amino acids, etc.) but you TRULY can not over do it.Looking awesome. Yeah I got f***** with recharge last year. It through my pH way off. I just use it sparingly now it's an amazing product ?
Interesting. I use great white on roots during transplant. I sprinkle mykos in the bottom of the pot. And I do a recharge tea. All very sparingly though. But I will def check this outHey you know about Urb?? So kinda deal (microbes, amino acids, etc.) but you TRULY can not over do it.
URB Natural ™| Unrivaled Soil Microbes: Increase Yields, Reduce Inputs
URB Natural, is an award winning, organic, stimulative poly-microbial inoculant. Noticeable effects from Seed to Final Flush. When it comes down to results, we are the worlds best!www.urbmicrobes.com
I mix it up with the recharge. I mainly use Urb, seaweed extract, and molasses. I’ll use recharge a few times during flowering. I use Medina Soil activator plus when I’m watering soil for the first time before transplant and about half way through flower. CalMag will now be an additive all through the grow. Learned my lesson about RO water and CalMag. Between that and LED lights this grow has been like trying to relearn how to ice skate.Interesting. I use great white on roots during transplant.

For Myco I use Great White when transplanting and Root Magic for Top Dressing. Only because of the containers and GW’s shaker makes it easier for transplants. One isn’t better than the other IMHO.Interesting. I use great white on roots during transplant. I sprinkle mykos in the bottom of the pot. And I do a recharge tea. All very sparingly though.

Thank you man, between learning LED’s and RO water issues I’ve stunted the hell out of her. I kinda feel lucky I’ve gotten this far with her. But I’ve now got everything dialed in so here’s to waiting, working, and hoping.That lady is looking lush, she should put out! Looking good.
I actually looked at Tribus. On your recommendation I’ll have to now try it.Urb is a great product. I need to get more. I’d also recommend Tribus
I use it at 1ml/gal. I’ll typically alternate watering a between Recharge and TribusI actually looked at Tribus. On your recommendation I’ll have to now try it.
Nice!!!! I’m the same way about alternating sources with Compost Tea and Recharge but I do every third watering/feeding with either a true compost tea or recharge. So basically either a compost tea or recharge every 2 weeks alternating. I do 8 ml Urb and 12 ml seaweed extract and 1 Tbsp molasses per gallon every watering that isn’t recharge or or tea. It’s probably close or similar to what you do. As Frim points out we all have our techniques that work for us. What I love is by telling what we do. We can all get ideas of what might work with what we’re doing currently.I use it at 1ml/gal. I’ll typically alternate watering a between Recharge and Tribus
Let me clarify, I water with compost tea, Then next watering is just water or CalMag (3 ml per gallon), then Urb,Seaweed, molasses, Then plain water or CalMag if needed, Then Recharge, then water/CalMag, Then Urb,seaweed, molasses, then water/CalMag, then start it all over again. I top dress every two weeks and I alternate amendments to a schedule there as well. She’s averaging a gallon every 3-5 days. I expect that to pick up here in the next week or two.Nice!!!!
