If you dint let you're super soil Sit "cook" for 6weeks would it preform terribly? I am sick of using bottled nutes I don't want to wait for my ss to cook what do I do?

it must be activated, and the bacteria needs a chance to make the nutes bio-available to the plants......if you don't cook it properly, you and your plants will be in a world of hurt...

with my recipe, my plants have done just fine in non cooked SS ... I transplanted when the plants were babies and by the time the roots reached the SS it had been cooking for 4weeks in the grow room

maybe sub's recipe is hotter not sure

There are soil "yeasts" that contain dried microbial life in it. Both beneficial bacteria and spores. This can be mixed in with a tea and let sit for a few hours, then it must be used shortly after. This will help speed up the "cooking" although still probably not the best. I put it in and let the soil sit for 6 weeks, and now mushrooms grow almost every morning in the bottom of my pots; that's how full of life the soil is. And here are my best photos of the day.

Wow those look great... I just dug up my soil here at 9200 feet and mixed with peralite and FF and my plants are thriving.. its been 9 weeks, I don't PH test or anything I just water from our spring here, When I dug up the soil I notice Aspen leaves aspen twigs and decomposed Granite . So I guess Mother nature knows how to cook soil,, cause that soil can support over 100 Aspen trees per acer not to mention the Oak brush and mountain grass..

For shits and grins I whipped up a batch of soil and halved my blood meal input and replace it with the same dry weight alfalfa pellets. I just sprinkled the pellets on top of the soild in it's container, added 2 cups of powdered rolled oats and watered it in with a standard liquid kelp solution..... I got fungus out the ass in a matter of days and when I take the cover off my tub it steams in 90 degree weather!!!! This is the most reactive batch I have made to date and the only thing different is the alfalfa pellets. Anybody else use alfalfa?? Just wondering.
