Haha if I kept this updated more you would know more about my operations. I feel like I post too much as it is.
Yes, I have dwc going still. I don't check the pH on any soil plants I have. I didn't start having problem until recently and I think that was being root bound. Before that they were just fine. I hope to get four NTG containers going and use 7 and 10 gallon fabric also. I'll probably grow mostly soil just because I don't have to rely on bottles....and I like playing in the dirt. I feel there's more of a connection to soil for me, I don't know....maybe I'm weird, maybe it's the lineage of my mom's side (farmers).
I like hydro and will continue to do some, maybe even venture into a Coco grow. It's the organic part I want, if dwc could be organic I'd stay there.
:From what I understand any well built super soil will do everything for you. NTG is a step up because you don't have to buy new soil, microbes are already well established when you replant, and very little supplementation is needed (teas and top dressings). When it's getting weak I can add it to new batches to get the ball rolling faster on the breakdown. Also decide to make a worm bin to not have buy so much ewc, and for fun.
