So a few questions, comments and tips on amendments and super soil mixes.
First off I know there is other thread(s) that cover a lot of this but science is constantly evolving and conversation is knowledge!

- For aspiring and novice growers alike...yes 100% cheap soil and dare I say it… even miracle grow soil will grow decent buds and half decent yield given proper lighting. Some strains better than others like anything else. I started with miracle grow moisture control, 2 gallon pots and 150 true watts of cfl my first grow and did quite well, granted I spent the money on proper genetics of durable strains (mephisto, dinafem, Barney's farm, and Mosca).
- But I digress… the real point of this thread is to discuss soil. Super soil to be exact. My first question is simple; what do you use for compost? whether it be in a super soil mix or directly in pots/ground
- What are your favorite amendments and why?
- This is where I have been having trouble… what ratio do you use for the base to your super soil mix? I have read about 20% base is standard but am.seeing a lot of contrasting information. I use a basic soil mix with mycorrhizal, meal etc currently, but am finally investing in designing my own advanced super soil.
- I plan on stepping up to a 6x6 tent with carbon filtered intake and outtake, 600-800 watts of led, gravity drip watering, full organic natural eco system with coriander, dill and marigold to allow reproducing green lacewing population for small pests and also as a backup food source to praying mantises to control any larger pest. Also plan to cover crop with clovers and/or mustard for nitrogen fixation, soil stabilization and additional pest resistance. Any suggestions, advice or tips are appreciated always!!
