Going organic

[Fjeff]

My current grow is drawing near the end so I am trying to plan my next grow. I want to try organic again. I tried on my first grow and it wasn’t that great. I am going to try earth dust from the green sunshine company mixed with coco loco soil. I could really use some advice. What to look out for, any extra supplies I might want on hand, any advice will be great. I will be growing auto’s again.
thanks in advance.

While I have never used Coco Loco personally, its ingredient list seems to check all the boxes for a good organic grow. The ingredients are very similar to what I use to make my soil except I add about 7-10% sand in mine. One great thing about natural living soils is that you can re-use it again. Just make sure that you let it age and develop for a couple of months in-between grows. The Earth Dust will be a good jump starter to reintroduce microorganisms to tired soil. 2-3 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses to a gallon of water every few weeks will help to keep a thriving bacterial community healthy and happy. I would think with autos there will be little need for any other nutrients throughout your grow. I grow photos and sometimes I will top dress with fresh soil mid flower if they begin to look hungry. Good luck -
