One of the best pieces of advice given to me was to keep things simple and only make one change each grow.
Great advice! I didn't even think about that. I spent all this time of devising a method of comparing the different mixtures and forgot to consider the seeds own genetics. Fail. lol

I'll tone done the worm castings ratio a bit in the earlier stages. It's odd, but the mixture of 4 parts worm castings is seemingly perfectly healthy with no real signs of stress. It is on the smaller side, although I contribute that to the high density of worm castings making it difficult for the roots to move easily through the medium. What are your thoughts on that?
atrain15 Reviewed by atrain15 on . Soilless mix the culprit? For some reason, I wanted my first grow to be a soilless one. After reading for hours and hours, I thought I chose correctly.

Then again, this is my first grow and I may be completely over analyzing things. (As I do with all things in life) I had purchased four different ingredients for my mixture.
