Black Magic Potting Soil?

[GreenHouser]

I'll be honest I never used it for growing cannabis. I used it in the flower bed and the plants are loving it. I did a slurry test and it came out at 5.5ish pH and around 140 ppm so its actually not a very hot soil. Makes me think it doesn't have very much of the amendments they have listed in there. I do still have a bag sitting around so I may try it in the near future

Imma grab a bag today, i was jus lookin at it yesterday. Googled it an now here.....

I planned on making my own soil like that for my first grow but saw this mix and figured it saved me the cook time. I ended up on coco for now but plan on doing organic soil soon. I still have a bag of this sitting there, may throw some clones in it for the hell of it.

How long did the slurry steep for

I re did the slurry again and got different numbers. I let it steep longer. I'll get the exact numbers out of my notes when I get home. I did end up throwing some rooted clones in it a few weeks ago and they are the happiest looking clones I have.

I wish I had saw that before I bought this bag. Its been sitting around since I got it and I'm not gonna toss it so I figured I'll give it a whirl. Won't be buying any more though.

I think so. The funny thing is they try to ride the line. When i got it I tried to get info on the website. There's no mention of cannabis at all and there were only images of tomato plants on there. Not sure what it looks like now. I doubt too many are growing tomatoes "in the cover of darkness" hahaha

You try to tell tomato growers they don't "grow hard" and "yield big" lol.

I bet it works good.

I wonder if it has any "proprietary" ferts in it. It is working nice on these clones.
