Hey DGC, first and foremost thank you in advanced for any one that chimes in on the post. I’m making a batch of soil with the craft blend from BAS. I did the same mix last time with the KIS nutrient pack and had pretty good luck, figured I’d give build a soil a shot. 1/3rd quality input homegrown castings. 1/3rd spaghnum peat. 1/3rd half and half punishment and rice hulls. I did the 2 cup per square foot per BAS recommendation but used a lot lot less than the KIS pack. I used a lot more of the KIS bucket when I did that mix (per their instructions) I bet I didn’t even use a quarter of that in the BAS mix. Just looking for some heads up I just started the cook so can definitely add more. I do nutrient and compost teas throughout so not worried a whole lot if it’s not enough, again just looking for advice. Thank you all to who posts and helps a brotha out🤙🏻🤙🏻💯🤙🏻🤙🏻 Growers love

Ive done it with success. I topdressed throughout the grow as well. Made teas as well as added other things like aloe, coconut, recharge, mammoth. Here is a video with jeremy making soil with just craft blend.

Hey there JC, I appreciate the input. About how often and how much do you topdress? I know everyone’s situations a little different but I’m in 10gals which I know I probably need to go up to at least fifteens.
Just light sprinkle over top once a week or every other week. Stopping week 3 or 4 in flower.
Heck ya, thank you very much sir🤙🏻🤙🏻💯🤙🏻🤙🏻
I’ve grown with both methods. With the KIS additives you do add more, but they don’t really call for any additional inputs through the grow. BAS suggests a lot of other organic inputs through the lifecycle. Both worked really well for me.
My girlfriend and I get into that half and half punishment stuff too. Damn, never know who you’ll meet here.
I also use pumice too. I prefer it over perlite.
