Dr Forest Dry Amendments

[indicaxsativa]

Any one used Dr Forest organic amendments ?

 

I seem to have had reasonable results with them.

 

 

[indicaxsativa]

I use coco coir and rice hulls as the base for My organic soil mix.

 

Used Their CalMag to buffer the coco coir.

 

To this I added the following into the mix at the rate of 50% of the maximum per liter of soil.

 

Frass 3-1-1

Veg 4-4-4

2 kg of Barley Malt

 

Every 2 weeks I top dressed with a similar amount bar the Barley Malt.

 

Then a fortnight before flipping to 12/12 I mixed the following

 

Frass 3-1-1

Veg 4-4-4

Bloom 2-4-8

Rock Phosphate to get a slight boost.

Cal Mag powder.

 

Done as a 33% of each mix but 50% of the recommended maximum.

I've not tried them out but they do seem to make some good products, I dare say heavily influenced by Coot and possibly OT1. Of course you could probably source your own raw ingredients and save a bit of money but for convenience sake they look pretty handy.  Good to know you're getting on well with them.

@MindSoup

 

I will probably try Greenhand once I've used up what I have.

 

Will do a price comparison based on weight/postage and decide which way to go.

[MindSoup]

Yeah there's a few companies out there all with very similar sorts of products, I've still got a bit of life cycle left, but when its used up I'll try something different, possible elixir complete soil improver as recommended by @blackpoolbouncer.

Is there a top dress dry powdered product for coco on the market? Just add water type of thing? 

[MindSoup]

@Micromole Hole OP is apparently using coco and I've seen mr cannuck on YT use dry ferts with coco and get some brilliant results so it definitely works, I have to say it's a little bit unconventional though. Coco doesn't bring a lot to the table nutrients wise and doesn't buffer PH like compost/potting mix so most people wanting to do just add water grows don't tend to use it.

@MindSoup yeah that's where I seen it . LED cupboard just add water with chunky nugs. Simplicity is half the battle.

[MindSoup]

Yeah I rate Mr Cannuck tbf, I know YT growers get a lot of hate which I understand, there's a fair bit of shameless product placement etc, but he seems to be a pretty straight shooter, no nonsense kind of guy and his results speak for themselves.

@Micromole Hole Yes. There are few. 

 

1. BioTabs only water (used with Ecothrive Coco/Perlite 79/30) - amazing growth with tropf Blumat dripping watering system.

 

2. dr organics living soil ( just google it) got 4-3-4 all purpose for grow and 2-8-10 for bloom. Mr Canuck's feeding schedule can be used as guide.

 

3. Living Soil fertiliser  ( just Google it) has similar products with full schedule for Coco autos an photos

 

4. Green House Bio feeding 

 

5. Gaia Green BUT only to buy in bulk.

@indicaxsativa a lot of it you can make your own & their not to complicated to make but that's if you want to make them though... Some of their stuff is however a little harder to make or source.

The owner seems to be sound. We messaged a couple of times. I got some fulvic acid powder off him and he sent me all he had left because he can't stand the smell, and I said I liked it!  It's strong stuff. That's one of the chemicals humic products breaks down into.

Its the quantities I'd have to buy the individual ingredients in that I suspect could make it a big outlay at first.

 

I suspect I will try Greenhand next.
