What are you using as a base soil? Is it pro mix with mushroom compost and black cow all mixed together? If so, how much of each? Thanks for your time, always loved your grows!

Thank You for that Erinie…I gotta have something to do while I recover from the surgery. So I figure why not a grow to help me to keep buzzy.

Good thinking. For me keeping busy is really helpful for my mental stability. I sit too long and I start thinking and then that’s what gets me in trouble

Wow you wouldn’t believe how many times I walked from Norwell to Brockton walking through Abington and my dad worked for the Anderson’s who lived across from that lake on 139 and sold Insulation that my father put in for them for over 35 years. We had a road side stand and sold corn, tomatoes and all kinds of vegge’s and pumpkins. You very well may know me. You Think…lol
What a small world we live in. By the way I used to hang out in Rockland Center down town where the drugs poured like water back in the 70s
The answer to your question is… the bigger the pot the bigger the plant which increases your yeild
And I use a larger amount of ingredants
