Grow Mediums KINDSOIL COMMUNE

[Ripper]

thanks alot for the tip. i bought a bottle of brer rabbit unsulfered blackstrap molases and fed 1 1/2 tsp per gallon yesterday. starting to see a general yellowing of the leaves, so i think i need some macro elements too. i have 5 lb bag of ks, can i use it to make some kind of tea to boost things back up a little? i really want to stay organic to the finish,but the girls have so much potential, i would hate to see things go south now.

Yes I would get the info from @Eyes on Fire i have tagged him he should come and provide some help

so how bad is the yellowing? thats the flower lack and N fading I have seen time and time again. the 2.5LB is whats stated to use. which when I used it I had it in my soil thinned so it did pretty spectacular. but KS and roots,or that loco coco stuff it NOT potent enough of a soil to see it through flower solely. so Molasses is fine. 1 Tablespoon per gallon every cpl waterings or three should be fine. but with this lacking of the soil and deatgh of the life since the foods are GIONE. hence the yellowing of the plant. sooo whatcha gonna do? well i would prolly do something to the effect of startt with a stalling tea/treatment to provide the green back and get some flowers bulking up.cuxz if you wait too long the soil doesnt take easily later down the road. so a top coating would be good. or a full on transplanting which I too had to do with my last and final KS test plant. looked an awful lot like yours.

so in final I would say Molasses every othger watering and a tea every other day mild to essentially feed it daily and the soil will hopefully will catch the life and get recharged again. and no recharge wont help a ton here either except in the tea. or standard waterings with a cpl teaspoons of molasses added per feeding everyother day. OK now since teas and a possibly transplanting are in order. you will want to consider a top coating. also if you have any Veg and bloom granulaes that could help with the top coating thats kept properly moist. so those thre to four things your going to have to do and/or decide which is in the relm of reality for you too accomplish.

transplant,teas until finish,top coating. those four things. also get a good WP(wetable powder) soil inoculate and get them in there and feed them well and often. Life holds many many many times its weight on ready to be used nutrients but if they die, all that goes with it. IE: foods,life and health of any soil.

so did that make sense? kinda baked and waking up my brains fully on atm LOL sooooo

Wrapped up the modified Kindsoil grow last night. Loved the results this round. Re-cooking it a little and supplementing with some tea and cal/mag worked out great. More pics and details in the journal here: https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...t-and-kindsoil-test.53348/page-5#post-1251583

Finding that weighing the soil may not be the best way to determine amount to use with your medium. Check my signature and see if y'all agree it's N toxicity

I figured I'd share my initial experience w/ Kind Soil.. Good stuff.. Very stinky.. Grew a DP Auto Blueberry in it (in a 3gal. pot, so I split the 5lbs into 2 piles; one larger for the 3gal. pot and some extra I threw in the 5gal. pot for the Sour Diesel I grew). Had almost zero issues w/ deficiencies w/ the exception of my fault letting the pot go a little too dry, but once I watered it, a couple days later it bounced back beautifully!! I'm guessing it was a pheno-type difference, but the plant only got to be about 1ft tall, or about 30cm-ish.. Got about a 1oz. of dried buds and about a half ounce of trim, but the frost on this plant is insane!!! Already smells, even without a cure!!! I just dropped a few beans that are being grown in comparison between Kind Soil, and some of the super-soil I made, using Subcool's recipe. Hopefully, I get similar phenos to see if I can make a decent comparison between the 2, but thus far, I'd definitely buy more!!!! Saves me from having to wait on cooking soil, and is already pre-measured for the most part..

It looks like the kind soil can be reused. I haven't had any problems.

I mixed 1 5 pound bag and used the kind soil recycled from the grow before this one and put 2.5 pounds in 3 3 gallon pots. They are 30 days old and are from a mystery mix 18.

Reused KS - water and molasses at the end. So I guess you can sometimes reuse it. She is just under 8 weeks old and will get 2 cups compost tea tomorrow with hopes she can get fatter before her time is up. The tea will brew for 48 hours.

It's to soon to say but I have not any problems regarding the KS.

The plant is HBSS

Looks like I need to start getting some tea!
