I've been a little "grumpy" lately (They deleted a post I made about an incandescent light a dude was using. An INCANDESENT, nobody said anything for like 16 post I had to go off).

I see it as getting paid 12$ an hour or more to mix soil. Paying over 15$ for three cubic feet of soil? Even my trophy wife and mistress (MK Ultra and L.A. Confidential) can see the custom quality in custom mix.

im using a brand name jungle growth its sold at your local lowes... Nobodies ever heard of it so no one wants to use it... but its been workin wonders for me... its between 5-10 dollars a bag depending on size.

I would like to see that post,,would be very helpful..I'm always trying to learn new stuff..thanks

great mix +++

If u are doin this indoor and have alot of soil to mix a kiddie works very well otherwise u can use lage storage totes. After mixing ingredients wet soil and mix it thoughly and let it sit for about a week or 2 then its good to go for planting. Keep in mind with this mix u should use a good organic fertilizer at about 1/2str. or an organic tea. I use BioCanna and budswel in a tea 3rd week of flowering and they really seem to get fat.
Base Soil Mix-
1-1.5 parts perlite(large chunky if poss.)
2 parts peat or coco
1part compost (make sure to a well composted material like mushroom compost)
.5part wormcastings
1 1/2cup of of fine dolomite lime per cubic feet of soil(1 ounce per gallon)
Optionals (good stuff)
epsom salts
greensand
crushed oystershell
aragonite
soil innoculants like myco fungus and soil bacterias

Now just add the corosponding ingredients to the stage of growth ur at to ur base soil mix.
Seedling/Clone soil-
i only add .5 parts of vermiculite to help hold a little extra moisture

Veg soil-
.5-1 c. bloodmeal per gallon
1/8C kelpmeal per gallon

Bloom soil-
.5-1c. sul-po-mag or rock phospate per gallon
.5-1c. bonemeal per gallon

1 cubic foot = 6.4285 US dry gallons

Id recommend a mix of:
50% FoxFarm or Miricle Grow Organic Water Controll Compost (for added water retention)
25% perlite
25% coco coir

This is pretty much what I use but if you arn worried about water retention then you could also sub out 10% perlite for any other compost...

the dude at my hydro store told me that the guy that owns fox farm soil, is running out of land where he takes the dirt from to make oceanforest and happyfrog, lite warrior, hes in humboldt county and hes takin land off his own proprety, guess he bought a lot of land ,and now its gettin eroted and hes neighbors are complaning that hes fuckin up the land scape, so now hes cutting his soil wit more bat shit and worm castings to make up for the lost soil, then he put some soil in a cup and put some water, and these lil larva stated to swim in the cup, i stoped using it, and now i get the best soil from a local nursey, just make sure it is light and has perlite, u can add the nuts your self

word tiss the truth I hear from a buddy in the scene as well.

I have not heard about live swiming larve though. haha I will have to check that out.

Good thing I switched to Hydro a while back. I like feeling like a Pot scientist more than a Pot farmer. haha

im a fuck with some fox farms i have been hearing alot of good stuff about it.. and guess what the nearest retailer is 8 minutes away.. sweet.

please explain perlite and coco coir thanks..
