Hi again:
I havenāt yet tried hidroponics, Iām developing a flood and flow system for indoor growing but will take a couple of months.
Iāve only grow in living soil prepared with compost, coco fiber and some pumice stone (instead of perlite, too expensive here). Have a nice weekend @gurutvabhatt!

Sure I will!
What I use a mix of one part (in volume) of coco fiber, one part of compost soil and one part of pumice stone (grains max of 1.5 cm of diameter). Mix everything together, wet throughly, let it rinse the excess water and it is ready for planting.
In the vegetative period plants need nitrogen but the quantity depends on the size of your pot. Read through the forum and you will find a lot of useful information.

You really need to start reading through everything and just go for it. People are here to help, but nobody is going to do the research for you or hold your hand.

Hi again @gurutvabhatt:
Living soil, specially if it has worm compost, has a ābufferā capacity, it is, the pH stays more or less stable along time due to the microorganisms and worms that processes the minerals in soil and water.
I control the pH of the water adding efficient microorganisms solution (EM) that is slightly acid, about 5.5, using 200 ml of EM per liter of water (rain water or non chlorine water). Final ph of the water must be between 6.5 and 7.
EM is a very interesting development that can be used for a lot of tasks in your crops and they are 100% natural and safe.
