Subcools Organic Super Soil?

[SG420]

About how much would it cost to make 60 or 80 gallons worth of this soil? Is it cheaper to buy online if where please provide links. *ALSO will the soil last me throughout the whole entire grow?

Yea but that doesn't answer the full spectrum of the question. How much to make 60 or 80 gallons worth of soil. Or is it cheaper to buy a premade organic super soil?

When I made the standard recipe with eight bags Of dirt it filled up 6/30 gallon pot exactly

I guess you just need to do a little math. Take the recipe, figure amounts needed, and then source it out. You may not enjoy the math, but it needs to be done if you want to spend the least amount of money.

I don't mean to be rude...but it sounds like you want someone else to do your homework for you.

The cost of the ingredients vary too much. plus nobody knows what those ingredients you will actually use.
like Under said, figure your amounts going into mix. then research the cost of each ingredient that will cover said amount.
but to answer your question...anywhere from $100 to $500.

I was thinking the same lol. Why not learn it so you don't have to ask... Shakes head

 

[SmokyPockets]

Dang doggy! Don't be so demanding, people do not react well to that kind of attitude, plus your questions have too many variables to answer succinctly. Do your own research

Don't mind if I do.
