Hey guys I’m starting another project with photos. I’m not too familiar with indoor photos.Trying for a water only grow. I’m doing living soil in the bottom 1/3 and promix with mycorrhiza with worm castings . Sound good or no. It works fine with autos but photos are a longer grow. Any help is appreciated

If u are only doing water only feed ice cubes as every other watering just don’t put them on the stalk

Photos are hungrier than autos. You will probably need to make a hotter mix to start and top dress some amendments at least once in flower depending on plant/pot size. Water only photos are hard to do unless in large pots/beds.

Check out Jeremy at Build A Soil on Youtube. He is a great resource for organic growing with lots of useful advice.

I’m doing five gallon fabric pots. I have nutrients just trying to get away with not using them. I have room for a ten gallon I might try that

I use cali super soil on the bottom layer like you are explaining.do not give them a top dress tea at all you will burn them.only use recharge every two weeks,you will have enough nutrients for the whole grow.

Building your own soil mix is different than using a 800 percent nutrient dense super soil

Mixing your own just means you can chose your inputs and strength. ‘Super soils’ are just premade hot mixes.

He said it works fine for autos so can’t be that hot. I was just saying he should expect photos to be hungrier than the autos and probably need top dressing in 5gal pots.

Yes I’ve seen that stuff, I use most of the same inputs plus some other things. It would be good if they actually told you the amounts, nutrient ratios and EC.

As above, so below! Bigger the roots the bigger the fruits in my honest opinion! However I have seen some monster come from small solo cups with super frequent irrigation and feeding strategies. Good luck either way
