my first grow

[mitchee11]

Hi guys, a mate of mine gave me a couple weed plants to try and grow. they're about a month old and pretty small but i'm going to grow them anyway. I have never grown outdoors before, my plan is to get some big 75L pots and fill them with manure, potting soil and some perlite.

I have access to composted cow, chicken and sheep manure.

I was wondering, what kind of ratio's should I use? I was thinking 50/50 with the soil and cow manure and then add some chicken and sheep manure and perlite. I don't know how much chicken and sheep manure to add?

Any suggestions or things I could do better? (I can't get any composted horse manure)

Thanks!!!

Be carefull with the chicken shit it is hot.. It will burn the littles ones. Use it sparingly a little bit goes a long ways.
The cow and sheep you can use 35 % to soil up to 75 % if composted good. (Long time)
But most bird guano and rabbit it is very hot have to use those sparingly
good luck[emoji482]

ive decided im going to use this potting mix https://www.scottsaustralia.com.au/...ix/pure-organic-premium-potting-planting-mix/

so really, up to 75% cow manure if its composted?

I'd be right doing 50/50 then wouldnt i

Very nice you're growing some photos.[emoji481][emoji482]
I love my photo plants. I've grown many of them. I do a lot of different techniques with them.

I read about the Scotts organic bag soil it looks like something good to start with.
I make my own Super soils and I'm mostly organic I'd say probably 90 92% Maybe organic every once in awhile do some things that's not exactly organic but it is what it is. We all have our own growing styles.
I grow auto n photos. I grow them all. I've been growing a long time.[emoji482]

Mate , I would just use the scotts soil as is for your first grow . and organic nutrients , Here in Australia we have some of the best and are made here . If you keep things simple you will get a better understanding of how the plants grow and progress for there , have a gander around the organic threads and you will find heaps of info on soil , I gather you are in Australia and if so you can always ask me about nutrients and things .

I ended up mixing 100L of scotts potting mix with 25L of composted cow manure and 10L of perlite. I also plan on feeding EWC tea and later on down the line (if they dont die in the next couple days) if they need a dose of nitrogen I think i'll just take off some sugar cane mulch and add some composted chicken manure.

I noticed that one of the plants has an ant infestation. is there any cures to this?

The ants for the most part dont bother the plant.
But thay will farm aphids. And that is most likely. Look your plants over real well.
Get some ant traps.[emoji482]

sorry off topic, but stunted photoperiods tend to come back to life and start growing after a while right?

Yes most of the time. Some come back like they never stopped. Other's come back and grow slow and a few don't come back at all.
