Here you go! This what i usewhere can I find the recipe sub's super soil?
i use this humic concentrate for my soil, if i see ph fluctuations I'll use ancient earth (AN) to keep ph stableWhat up yall I hope all is well and that maybe I can get some feed back from you experienced super soil growers! I have decided to make some minor adjustments to the super soil recipe for my outdoor grow in 2011! Everything is pretty much the same except I will be adding a total of 2 cups dolomite lime, 2 cups azomite, and I will be using the full 50lb pure worm castings to insure enough nitrogen till hopefully mid flower! Also in his recipe he uses powered humic acid; where can I get this product and what brands are good? Please let me know what you guys think id really appreciate it, thanks!
Yup brother thats what i did, bought 2yds of nursery grade soil for $90, im mixing enough soil to fill 6 /100 gallon smart pots , so im mixing 1 1/2 yds nursery soil & the other 1 1/2 yds is supersoil ffof, roots organic , coco 24 bags of each, adding the other ingredients as well! I'll be mixing those together , water then let it activate til i need it ! I'll be popping 10 incredible bulk beans on Feb 2( bigbud x super skunk x green spirit ) yield outdoor is 800-1500 gr per plantThat's $128 for a 12 cuft mixture and doesn't include the soil. I'm sure you could grow the best herb around with it, but just seems like so much. Especially for an outdoor grow, indoors is probably a different story but I've never grown organic indoors so I can't say.
Last season I used a similar mix, but instead of buying bags of soil I made my own, plus added lots of kelp in the last two months (mid Aug- Oct.). But I used the amounts in this recipe spread out over 100 cuft, instead of 12. I picked up some garden soil from the landscape place (I just talked to them and asked for the best organic soil that won't burn) bought a yard of that, bought a half yard of compost, used my own compost and worm casting, added some perlite (the biggest chunks available), peat moss (will use coco this year, better for enviro and won't jack my ph as much) and mixed it up with some leftover dirt from my garden. Let it sit, like Sub Cool says to do and then planted my month old plants from 1 gallon pots into the mix, in raised beds. Gave them compost teas every other watering throughout their life in the beds (may-oct). The yeild and quality was great, and for way less. Maybe I'm missing out by not paying 3 or 4 times more, I don't think my quality could be 3-4 times better, maybe 10% better but that wasn't from using less nutes :)
I'm having fun learning about organics, composting, raising worms, digging holes...its one of the best things I've stumbled on in life. I can't wait to learn more and looking forward to next season and becoming a better gardener.
Note: the soil and compost I bought from the landscape place was whole sale. They dump it in your truck bed. You save per cuft quite a bit.
Edit: I did do some nutrient teas about every other week or three weeks. Not compost teas, but nutrient tea. Bit still, I was using a handful of nutes instead of pounds.
According to the mayan calander feb 2 is the time to pop beans, of course im only lookin for 6 females but if i get more I'll put them indoors to see how they doHell yeah. Wish I could plant in Feb!
