So I can mix rock dust with coir to make it more habitable for the micro heard?
Is there anything else you would recomend/better to use as I'd like to encourage the root zone benefits of these products as much as possible, while still using coir.
I assume an organic feed regime would be a benefit (I have been considering it) currently using canna nutes boost and PK at lower than bottle levels with pots of coco. All other suplements are plant magic (catalyst and bio-wetter at the mo) am interested in using the bio silicon (which OT has already said will work) and also the Granules.
So being able to make the coir more of a suitable environment for them is the aim...
Any pointers?? Thanks.

have a look at my profile, mate as I'm going to use a 30% loam, 25% worm cast, 25% coir mix with the granules etc. I'm guessing something like the 50/50 wormcast/coir compost mix that i've ordered might suit you... OG reccommended it anyhow

Sounds good, guess I could just mix in my own wormcasts to coir...

50/50??? Sounds high in the wormcasts although I'm new to organics (not growing) so what do I know.
Thanks for the reply.

By the way, your % add up to 80% that a typo, or what is the remaining 20%?? Thanks.

Ok, just read your profile and there's more details on the % questions... So ignore me.
Thanks again for the reponse.

No worries, should of explained better - concentrating on not to breakin the spam rules (or just concentrating )

I've not used coir before but reading your posts has been very encouraging, thanks for sharing yr experience with it, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it - bank bloody holiday deliveries....

when using the granules do i just sprinkle them straight out f the tub or do i crush them up and dust the roots?

i was thinkin of just sprinkling them into the bottom of pot an into the pottin hole, its just where it says dust the roots it confused me a little.

also do i need to measure how much i use or just do it by eye?

thanks

I sprinkle straight out of the container into the potting hole I usually you use quite abit,then I hold the plant on its side and gently rub granules over the side roots so the Granules come into contect with the whole rootball......Ive never had roots looking as good as they do now since using Granules and its easily knocked quite a few days of each potting up.

[DaftSkunk]

cheers lennon, thats spot on. i sprinkled them in the pottin hole and at the bottom of the pot, i dint dust the roots how you said tho but will next time, but the plants i have done you can defo see a difference, the roots are real thick and bright white with the little hair lookin things that come off em, the plants that i dint give the granules too were healthy looking roots too but nothin like the others, the's more n thicker, will be using this from now on i think.

good stuff

I would second that

[heyboy]

Im a big fan of granules

I used to use rootgrow

I tried rootgrow in very first pot up and they didnt like it!

Granules however - no probs

I have to admit, I was very sceptical at first....but the PM+ Granules KICK ASS. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

I was using AN beneficials....Voodoo, Piranha and Tarantula but having switched to PM+ Granules the difference to root growth is staggering. Not just in volume, but in quality. My roots are thick, lots of secondary cilial hairs, pristine white and rootbound about a week ahead of schedule.

I don't rave about stuff generally, and in fact despite it working amazingly I looked at pricing of Rootgrow. Granules are cheaper than Rootgrow, a million times cheaper than the AN stuff, and in my short experience working with a well known strain (to me) they are the most effective.

Great work PM. I was a sceptic at first but you've converted me.

Many thanks,

GN

Hi,

I was wondering was there any way to brew up the granules the way essence is brewed. Pour it then directly onto the compost to give the roots a saok to get the benefits of planting granules when potting up.

Can This be done.
