I went to their site and I read it twice maybe three times. And despite their warnings I’m gonna use 100% recycled potting soil that has been re-amended twice used three times. I also use a lot of salts towards the end of flowering with this media. I’m going to give it a shot using it with this soil. I’m not sure how depleted this soil is so I’m going to air on the side of caution and if they get hungry I’ll just top dress it a couple inches in and call it good. We’ll see how it goes.

Pina Auto @ 56 days. (8 wks).
I removed the big oscillating fan and replaced it with three 6" clip on fans. That seems to cool my tent down a few more degrees. It also gives me more space for more plants! Win,win!
After over week of nothing happening, (except for leaves dying) I finally see some bud growth on 2 out of 3 plants.
I would like to get rid of those burnt leaves, but I read that you should never take off leaves during flower with auto’s. It would really open it up for light and airflow though.
I guess I’ll leave it alone. I don’t need to stress these girls anymore.

. & Happy Growing!

I know lots of people do. I’ve done it before myself. I read one article and it spooked me! Lol.
Probably was one person’s opinion. You know how it is, so much info out there to read it becomes mind boggling.

Never heard that about Autos. Here’s a topped and dropped auto I did a while back, I defoliated the typical 21/42 too. The second pic is the rooted top of one of them. Honestly, I did not treat them any differently except timing (no veg) to start cutting on them at 5/6 node.

According to everything I’ve read it should actually rejuvinate the soil Hap. I would put some organic stuff in it like seaweed meal to bump up the organic content.
Nothing wrong with reusing soil if it isn’t loaded with fertilizer salts, course you know that. One of the reasons for me going organic to get away from having to buy new soil every grow.

Marty,
Your correct, there are many sources of ‘coarse’ organic matter you can add…just don’t forget that periodic Humic Acid treatments are the BEST organic matter you can add to any soil/hybrid media.
There is nothing I know of that has the CEC of humic acid. Keeps all your nutes in a highly available state, as well as being a great chelator of micronutrients and pH buffer!
LOL, plus it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!

Yeah I just mixed up a batch of 2 tablespoons of Humic, 1/2 oz of Chicken soup and 200 ml of Fox Farms organic bloom which is their low dose (real weak stuff) per 5 gal of rain water, and threw in some inoculant and am letting it cook overnight till around 3 tomorrow. I checked the pots and they are all good on moisture. It’s been about a week since I gave them Humic so should be ok. I don’t know why, haven’t figured it out yet but this Earth Dust is missing something. It can’t be micronutrients, because I added Azomite in a fairly good quanity to my soil base. It is a Macro or secondary nutrients that is not strong enough. They just are in need of something or more of something. @ravenchief was saying he adds a LOT of organic stuff to his organic grow medium, and starts with 1/3rd soil with organic in it, then splits the rest of it like I did with coco/ProMix. His plants look amazing so I know it can be done, just haven’t got it dialed in yet.

LOL, I’m pretty sure you’re jerking chains here but think of chelator as a ‘gator’!
A gator can put something precious in its mouth and carry it through troubled waters. delivering it safely to the place it can serve its purpose.
Chelators do the same thing with nutrients (especially micronutrients) It’s a molecule that surrounds the nutrient so that it doesn’t precipitate, keeping it available for root absorption!!!
