Thank you Catdaddy! It's an honor to have you aboard!
This is copied and pasted from my post last night on another site:
So yes, it is 4:30am, and yes, I am just finishing mixing up some supersoil lol. I'm inspired from reading journals. :D
I have no idea if this is going to work, but this is my crazy WiFi induced ideas (insert uh-oh here lol). I added up all the npk's per tbs fertilizer/gallon of medium from my old batch, and then tweaked the tbs so the npk equalled approx 3-1-2 ratio. ie 8 tbs fish bone meal would get a number like so: npk = 10-4-0 and 8 tbs so 80-32-0. I have no idea if this is even remotely correct, but here it goes:
Base is approx 1.25-1.5 cu ft Pro Mix HP
1/2c Crab Meal
1c Alfalfa Meal
3c Kelp Meal
1/2c Fish Bone Meal
1/4c Blood Meal
1/4c Neem Meal
1/2c Oyster Shell Meal
1c Lime
1/2c Granular Humus
1tbs Epsom Salt
3tbs Mycos
Then I used one of my small 7" Hydrofarm pots and added:
1/2 Earth Worm Castings (that's all I had left might add more)
1 part Vermicompost Soil Amendment
Also had a few handfuls of FFOF and Light Warrior I wanted to get rid of, so I threw them in there too! Is there a kitchen sink icon?
I didn't count the nitrogen from the Earth Worm Castings, but I came out with a 3.42-1-1.54 ratio. A little off from what I wanted, but close enough.
It was lightly wetted, mixed thoroughly, and placed in a Rubbermaid container to cook for about 4-5 weeks before it is split out about 12-15 ways and put in the bottom of the next round of my Baskin Robins Grow. At least next grow I think I am going to have 4 Pineapple Express lol.
Maybe I'll just mix some EWC into the Pro Mix that will go on top of the supersoil.
I transplanted all my veg from 7" hydrofarm squares to 12" squares last night. They will hopefully stay there for about 4-5 weeks, and then the game plan is to upcan them again into 10 gallon pots with my super soil mix and some other blended soil. I need to get a strain list up for the next round.
Thanks all!
:cool:
Hey Space! I guess I Spaced it off! :pyour a funny guy bro:). in a nice way!like .haha that was funny.not your a weirdo:)lol. ive just seen this man.why didnt you tell me you had this log going.lol.its bad ass bro:)lol.

Hey Space! I guess I Spaced it off! :p
Glad you found it though! Pull up a chair! You're just in time for...
Ding, Ding, Ding! The Next Round! lol.
That soil recipe you quoted is pretty old, and was pretty much a failure imho. The NPK idea was ignorant. Hydro philosophy doesn't work in organic soil growing. My mix is more like this now:
50% peat (pure peat, not promix)
30% EWC or high quality vermicompost
20% aeration
Per cu ft base:
1/2-1c kelp meal
1/2c neem meal
1c oyster shell powder
1/2c crab meal
1/2c gypsum
1/2 fish bone meal
4c (total) glacial rock dust or basalt dust
2 tbs calcitic lime
I've been transplanting all day. I'm not going to lie, I'm going to be sore tomorrow. That's a hella lot of dirt! Lots of expanded shale, scoria, lava rock, pumice - it's heavy. Next time I'll use much less, if any, shale and more scoria/pumice.
Still a work in progress. I need to hang a few lights, hang another carbon filter and couple of fans. Then I'll spread them out and see what I have for space. I ma,y or may not, also add a Snow Leopard and a Grape 13 to this grow, but this is how it's looking so far:

Sounds like you have a great lineup there! I held off on the White G13/hp, but those are definitely on the short list! I was really disappointed with my Grape 13. I have another one, but now I'm not even sure I am going to run it again. I'm low on space and I don't want to risk takeing up space with somethign that isn't going to turn out. I hear nothing but good things about Esko. I have one of his Blueberry Sativas growing now.Haha brother im just gonna drop some blowfish and white 88 g-13/hashplant:). ive got the eskobar ckhocolate rain + blue chem dawg in their pots now aswell.lol i doneall my transplants yesterday:)haha.im. expecting big things from hazemans g-13 gear eh:). ni ce mix to.i just use canna terra pro +.lol.i amend with ewc etc.+ my secret ingreidient. virescodry powder,:) wow. CHECK THAT SHIT OUT bro.its right up your alley.organic..mix in + bam.look it up. you WONT be dissapointed i swear.
I looked up this powder. My concern would be this is Leonardite. In which case it is not water soluable. If you are looking for a Humic Acid product, I would look at one of the products from BioAg. Either the Humix or Cytoplex. These are the real deal as far as humics imho. For Fulvic acids, Ful-power liquid from BioAg. This product works great for foliars. however, don't go over the specified amount, more is not better.VIRESCO .DRY POWDER:).
Thanks Space! Silver Mountain = SSH x Appalachia from Bodhi. These are available at the Tude still. I'm interested to see how she fills out.silver mountain looks killer bro.
whats her lineage! can i get a few of them beans still from somewere?or is it just a ? one of thing?.it looks amazing like all ur gear.as allways.
I hear good things about Chocolate Rain. Esko is top notch in my book. The Diesel Fire#2 was really damn good. Good enough I am running a couple more this round. The stretchy pheno wasn't that good, won't do anther round of it.she looks amazing. i got 4,of esko,s chocolate rains left.im see if some1,wants to swap them:)lol. i never seen that on the tude like!ill go back + look.hod did that d,f turn out?worth running again?i was eying it up.
