Subcool's Super Soil

Nice looking soil mix. You're famous I just wanted to say welcome to RIU, I actually have some of your seeds that I haven't cracked yet but I will. Hope you enjoy it here.

Now we put our backs into it and mix like crazy
I alternate cans untill the pile is gone.
So we add water and let it cook in the sunshine. 30 days is best for this concentrate and it can be used to condition soil as detailed in the soil 101 thread. Do Not Put Clones or seeds in this mix!

I will use this for a full year just adding like 30-50% in the lower potion of the container and plain roots in top portion. As the concentrate gets older I can use more. To re use I just recondition.

Next we will look at building a medical grow room capable of producing 2-4 pounds of primo organic buds every 60 days

Thanks SUB!

Once the soil has cooked or sat for a month or so were ready to transplant into the final pots. I use #10 nursery pots now that will hold a full 7 gallons of liguid. I 7 may not sound bigger than a 5 but let me tell you these slanted #10 pots hold a bunch of soil!
So I store the soil in large cans and then use the same kiddie pool I mix in to transplant in. Helps keep the mess down. I fill each pot ¾ full with the super soil. I then fill the top half with plain potting soil. This buffers the roots and gives the plants time to get used to the hot soil I use.

It’s important to water the plants well before transplanting. This helps prevent shock a nice damp root ball will make a happy plant. Make sure the roots do not touch direct super soil use you hand to mix the plain potting soil around with the super soil. Place a hand full of plain soil in the hole you transplant in. Gently flip the plant upside down. Wack the bottom with palm of hand to loosen the root ball. Support the plant by placing hand on pot allowing stem to protrude though fingers. Remove from pot and support the base. Flip upright and place in hole made into the soil.

Fill in the area and smooth over the soil. I like to lift pot and bang in once on the concrete to settle it all down then I pack it down a bit with hands. Make sure soil is slightly under pot rim so water will not run over. Always keep labels straight removing tag from pot and placing into new container 1 at a time. Crossing moms is a major nono. Load into room and take a look at all the hard work!

Last week I made the mistake of pouring some mild stew on 2 of the jc2 plants so I thought I would show you guys what happens if you feed to early using super soil. Now the solution I used wasn’t strong and in a medium like coco or cubes it wouldn’t have been a problem but these seedlings are in pure Roots soil which is pretty warm with lots additives for an almost full cycle. Now the 3 plants that received just pure h2o from the second bucket look completely different as you can see. Now the two plant have been flashed and don’t worry they will be just fine especially after transplanting them and I am in no rush so it’s all good but what a difference feeding to early made huh?

This plant was prefect till I poured from the wrong jug!
This one didn't stunt as bad but you can see it almost looks like a hydro plant its pushed so hard.

Now lets look at a plant that has been fed only water

what a difference huh?
