Just remember one thing when substituting things make damn sure you check your end PH and do not use this mix before it cooks properly.
Some soils simply have a lower ph and require more lime roots comes in the bag at 6.8 and Biobiz at like 6.2 so there is need for some adjustments if you dont follow the original mix.
BTW the mix shouldnt work but people all over the world prove it does daily and what I mean by that statement is my super soil has a EC of like 4.1 and should fry things but used as directed Cannabis Loves it!!

Hey everyone 1st post here. This is the place to be! Thanks to everyone here for their input and especially to you Subcool. Thank you very much for sharing your years of knowledge with everyone and taking the time to post here as often as you do. I 1st saw your method, like many, in the March HT article and have been following this thread as soon as I found it. I really want to use this method, but I am very limited on time as I was given clones by a fellow medical grower, which are already showing roots. Is four weeks the minimum time needed to "cook" this recipe? If I were forced too, could my clones be kept in smaller containers for the minimum cooking time and then transferred into my 7 gals pots with the super soil applied per the normal 30-50% rate or perhaps use a little lower concentration on the bottom of the container, say 15-25%, while later topping off with more super soil? Also, I believe that you "cook" your soil in the containers with the lid off outside, correct? My yard has many pests, as we have 2 dogs and there is very dense vegetation on our property. Would a warm garage or the inside of my home be better to cook the soil in? Thanks again for everything Sub!

I check soil with a ph probe


Inside is fine as long as temps are near 80 for a good part of the time but we are learning that 4 weeks is on the short side as the lime wont be fully broken down for almost 6 weeks and while I have used dump truck fulls of this stuff sonner we are now making it up 2 months in advance or longer
Actually I am now making 10 cans in mid summer so I have enough to last through the winter

Thanks for quick reply Sub. I will definitely get the probe style pH meter. Then I guess I'll test the batch until its within range.

Hey Sub,

I am a lazy man Sub. I began wondering if I could amend one gallons so that all I would need to feed was water. I was screwing the one gallon pot feeding all up.

I grow in Rapid Rooters first. Then I put them in 16 ounce cups. That is full of light warrior. I have to feed this a light feed. When they ware ready, I transplant to one gallons.

The one gallons I pre-mixed with a scaled down semi version of your recipe. I added one tbsp of blood meal, 2 tbsp of bone meal, and one tbsp of kelp meal. Also I gave a few tsp of azomite and the perlite was already there. This is for two gallons.

I wet this mix and added my 16 ounce cups and RR and they are rock'in. They are outperforming the regualar one gallon I am growing in lightwarrior completely.

I worried ocean forest was too hot so I used light warrior for the pre-super soil part and I had to light a medium. I fixed this by amending the peat.

Could not have done it with out you. They look beautiful Amending the soil like the box says! hehe.

Updated Super Soil from latest feedback from Subcool... lime and azomite have been increased to a cup of each.

Subcool Super Soil

8- Large bags of High quality Organic potting soil (Roots Organic)
25# Organic Worm castings
5# Steamed Bone meal
5# Bloom bat Guano
5# Blood meal
3# Rock Phoshate
¾ cup Epson salts
1 Cup Sweet Lime (Powdered)
1 Cup Azomite (Trace Elements)
2- TBS Powdered Humic Acid

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and cook in a container outdoors in warm temps in the sun for 30 days. This will break down the organic matter and stabilize ph.

I love this thread... Completly changed my view on canabis.... Thank you Sub....

thank you for sharing your recipe and working so diligently to help us!


so you only use the super soil in the final 7gal pots and at the bottom 1/3 of the pot? straight roots organic out of the bag in the smaller pots?
