Sorry Azi, I just saw this now. In 16 litres of water I would use 2 tablespoons of molasses and whatever other ingredients you choose, bubble that for 24 hours, then add 1 cup of EWC and bubble for another 16-24 hours before serving. If you add dolomite to it get that bubbled in 1st for an hour or so. Scale that down if needed, or use the excess on your outdoor plants.

I skipped the front front end, and just went with worm castings, FAA, Seaweed FPJ, a sprinkle of Great White and dolomite which I actually added last as I forgot what I wanted to add. I'll let bubble in my air lift bubbler for 18 hours or so.

@Azimuth I have been thinking a fair bit about your mix and how to get it to work better with a Sip.

Organic matter, regardless of what kind, only "needs" to be about 5% of a mix, and for growing good weed should be about 10-12%.

So my EWC when finished, is about 40% veggie scraps and meals, and 60% used soil, perlite, etc. So 25% of my grow mix is EWC, but only 40% of that 25% is organic matter, so 1.00 gallons in a 10gal pot. 10%.

With that in mind, and counting biochar because it charges itself with organic matter, what % of your mix, compost, biochar, and ewc combined, is yours?

Too much will cause you to have soggy soil. Just right and it should wick the right amount of water up thru the mix. Too much of a good thing is real in LOS.

If lowering organic matter throws your ratios off, replace the parts you take out with perlite, and if it turns out to be a substantial amount, replace it with a mix of 2/3 perlite and 1/3 carbon.

That ups air and the extra carbon is just enough to hydrate the extra perlite in ratio.

Run some math on your mix and see what you come up with. Maybe we can kick this back and forth and get you a great sip mix for your small pot sizes.

Because it would lower your overall pot nutrition content, it may also be perfect for sustaining with Jadam/KNF potions.

The last round was:
30% Old soil
30% Organics (equal parts RWC, Compost, Coco, and dry leaves/aged leaf mold)
30% Perlite
10% Biochar

And then a bunch of amendments

Having been convinced that my mix is too wet, next round I plan to move the biochar to the amendments list and substitute its place with more perlite, and from there I'll plan to experiment with lowering the percentage of the organic piece.

Scaling the biochar back, perfect👍, thats a great start, and if it's still too wet replace biochars 10% with more perlite.

Ok @Carmen Ray , this one is for you. I power watered the clones. You saw the even green foliage earlier, here.

Then I did a full pot drench and this is a few hours later.

See that mottling? that's too much water causing an internal chill in the small clones.

Thank you Gee. I moved two of my plants into their big pots. Let's see how they do now. The mottling is easy to see when comparing photographs. I will know what to look out for going forward.

You think I should do it in two steps? I was just going to go right to a tablespoon or two of biochar and 40% perlite next round.

I love tearing off the bandaid and jumping right in so heck yeah I would do both, but one at a time has merits too, as you know which change had what effect.

I would still do both tho so the volume of your mix doesn't change and it fills all your pots.

Any signs of detriment yet? You are getting into your regular window of when it shows up.
