Using organic recycled soil (from outdoor summer grow), amended with BuildaSoil amendment kit + home made compost + worm castings+ Espoma Bio-Tone Starter. I will be using straight well water once again. No PH testing or adjustments will be preformed.
Using Espoma as a test to see how it preforms this grow, but will be phasing it out as I transition to no-till organic system down the road.
I put the seeds in to soak on December 13th, I put all 4 seeds into soil on December 15th. This grow will be Dutch Passion Auto Blackberry Kush x2 and Sweet Seeds Red Poison x2. All 4 cracked and showed root.
Seeds were placed in a Peat/EWC mix and watered in with
1 tsp Aloe Vera powder
¾ tsp soluble kelp
1 Tbs Agsil 7.8% solution
1 Tbs Coconut Water Powder
all the above mixed with 5 gallons of water. Using left over for house plants
Also with this grow I will be using a 180 watt CFL during the “veg” period.
Here is a full list of everything I have for this grow:
4 3 gallon Geopots (www.geopots.com)
Recycled Soil (backyard +)
Agsil16H Potassium Silicate (buildasoil.com)
Coconut Water Powder (buildasoil.com)
200x Aloe Vera Powder Flakes (buildasoil.com)
Buildasoil Endo Myco Mix (buildasoil.com)
Liquid Gold (kelp4less.com) (not organic certified)
Kelp Powder (kelp4less.com)
Espoma Bio-Tone Starter
Espoma Tomato-tone (not sure Ill use it but its on hand)
I ended up with the Espoma because I was going to work on a modified Dr Earth schedule, but have kind of scrapped that to work more towards a no till method. This is not that yet, but going to start using each grow as a way of learning, until I feel comfortable with going all in.
And pictures because, well because..
Soil
virgin 3 gallon pots 
Kelp4Less stuff
and the buildasoil stuff 
and a couple shots of the pots, with seeds planted -
Well thats it for this wall of a post, comments always welcome.
