@rufio hi bro

charge is insect frass (shit) and provides a low npk feed but mainly aimed at feeding microbes present in your soil 

The soil amendment is to add back the all of nutrients lost throughout each grow so the soils nutrition content is replenished and the soil doesn’t run out of food the plants want / need 

both can be used as a top dress, or mixed into soil before reuse 

if pot size is big enough a top dress less likely to be required (ie 45L as they recommend!)

the charge can also be watered in 

hope this makes sense 

Time to pop some more beans 😗

Hi mate, I've just completed my first grow with Ecothrive, the soil was brilliant, I ammended the soil twice (before flipping to 12/12 and 4 weeks into 12/12) other than that it was just add water and watch em grow! Soil drained well, and the girls needed watering every few days on average. 

We cannot choose what we are, yet what are we but the sum of our choices...

@buster2704 you can reamend with life cycle which is made by same company and designed for that purpose:

Or can also mix your own following a super soil recipe like @Temple Grower's or Clackamas Coot's or @Hart's

The life cycle is hard to beat price-wise even when mixing your own, depending on how local / cheap you can source the ingredients or suitable replacements,

hope this helps a bit

regenerating soil is a great way forward 

good luck bro

@chillbert I have life cycle and have top dressed once maybe twice now sure but when you harvest do you literally just mix some life cycle and charge in and then your ready to go again ? I also give them some biosys tea once a week too

this would depend on what pot size you are using..

if using minimum 40L or ideally bigger as recommended by the manufacturers then you would just continue as a topdress and plant or sow directly back into the bed or pot.

otherwise if using smaller pots (like me) i remix the soil with lifecycle (removing rootball), add more aeration, worm cast and charge and let it cook for 2-4wks before using it to pot up the next generation im growing.

if you reamend and chuck young plants straight in you risk burning the plants, if you top dress this isnt an issue. 

so i guess it depends on how your growing but hope this helps a bit

Hi mate, yeah like @chilbert says use the biosys range and you won't go far wrong. 

During the grow I re-ammend with eco thrive re-charge, not loads but enough to keep the girls happy. The thing to remember is that re-ammend nutrient you add takes a few weeks to become available for the girls to use, you kinda have to plan ahead a little. It's not much use throwing the ammend powder about when the leaves are turning yellow, better to pre-empt the plant's needs👍 

If you do run into a nute issue, go to the biosys teas first, they really help and won't throw things out of balance.

@chillbert ok mate cool I'm in 45l pots so I'll just continue with the top dressing and the tea hopefully all will be fine a I was thinking about getting another 45l and topping up my other 4 pots with that as their not full to the top then that would be like a re amendment but we'll see what happens
