But what is that comparable product ??I've seen evidence that the "kit" can be available in the UK... shipping could be cost prohibitive tho'... if not promix/sunshine, I'm sure there is a comparable product...cheerz...
Hey Puffer. Product would be Peet Moss , AG Lime, and Perlite, combine all three for a very good copy of wat we get here with the ProMix. Cheers man..

Dda day 96
we seem to be out of the woods now, altho she still looks crispy it's not getting worse and is actually putting out new green growth.
Watered today with trans drench and tea
M.O.B day 69
Still battling her issues. Still losing leaves and more going crispy every day.
Also watered with trans drench and tea today
Teenage Wedding day 28
At least one of my girls is happy and healthy. I'm very happy with how her training is coming along.
T.W got her first Transplant drench this evening with her tea.
All 3 ladies will get brix Foliar spray tomorrow night.

Need to mix up another batch of soil and while looking for EWC I ran across this brand on sale
So what the heck is CONCENTRATED EWC ?
NPK listed at 1.5 / 0 / 0
EDIT: ok its just a fancy way to lie in advertising
Makes 40 lbs of SOIL WHEN mixed with 30 lbs of soil,
not 40 lbs of EWC

Question for the group.
Are we feeding many different types (species) of biota in the soil? My thought process here is, does each drench feed a different colony of biota?
we give Brix spray every 7 to 10 days. Brix feeds biota in soil, or there abouts through sugars. Would it be better to brix spray during straight water feedings. As this stimulates different biota at different times. Or, same biota asked to work on different minerals in soil, based on what drench or folar that is applied.
I also realize we don’t spray same day as drench.
This is just me trying the understand the science.

A healthy living soil contains all sorts of bacteria and fungi, etc. Each variety responds to slightly different compositions of sugars - root exudates. The roots will exude specific sugars to feed specific biota, to produce the needed nutrient. This is a dynamic process with reaction times of less than an hour. A population will surge from the extra root sugars and provide a spurt.
Its a good question. It would be nice to have a better understanding of how each tool affects the others. I tend to group Brix and Growth together, using more when the plants are surging ...
... but rarely on the same day. Transplant is for soil health and DeStress is for foliage health so ... they're kinda the same influence ... so they come into play together ...
I hesitate to use Brix when the plants look like the roots aren't performing well ... so Transplant and Brix rarely go together in my garden ...
I look forward to hearing what others think.
[Edit] But I wouldn't hesitate to use DeStress and Growth together ... dunno ... good question, if we actually have a good answer ...

I 'predict' destress would jive well with GI due to adding the K in the destress to all of what's in the GI, more or less. It has most of the same contents in the TP except Mag. I like where this topic is heading though. Nothing to me is more important than understanding the science as best I can.
On another related note, I understand that Bacillus Megaterium is what frees up the P in the soil. Is there also a specific species that ionizes the calcium and other elements? Looking at the contents of say Great White Mycorrhizae, I can see an estimated 30 different species, maybe more, of which the B Megaterium is included, but I wonder what each of the others do? I'm more or less fishing for leads so not to take myself too far out into left field.
I remember reading that mycos are competitive, so you have to encourage the ones that suit your soil and goals ...
We stick with one of the types, forgot which one.
Bacteria are beyond my knowledge.

This is the direction I was hoping this question would go. I’m very interested in others input.
I also tend to use brix during ge feedings. But I like to use 1/2 destress in late flower as a bulking agent.

Doc starts to go into this in his blog section on the website. I have been waiting for the harvest section update.
