I just priced out Subcool's Supersoil recipe at an online nursery that's in California.. So far I'm at ''$116.00'' minus
- 1 bag of Bio-Bizz soil
- 25lbs worm castings
- 1/3 epsom salts
- 1tbsp ozomite
- Shipping/Handling
Actually droppin $200 on acouple highgrade bags of soil & spiking it /amendments isn't really all that bad price wise.. !! Next year, I plan on starting up my mulch pile again.. Hell I guess starting this winter wouldn't be a bad idea.. heh heh heh.. One thing that's been buggin me is tryin to find containers to store the super soil for the winter.. ?!?? Hhhmmmm.. I'll be back.. I'm goin to 'google' - Mulching Bins.. !!

I use a storage tub for my promix. The largest size seems to fit my bail as soon as I take a couple of scoops out.
I mix in a smaller tub, that way I can save what I don't use for the next day.
Makes it easy when re-potting too, I just hold them over the tub. Makes clean up a breeze.
Pro mix bx $34.99 a bail from my local greenhouse/nursery $40 + at any grow shop.

Some of those are one time purchases (once every 6 to 10 months)and last a long time.Hahahaha.. Rite on ismokealot.. !!

The initial cost may be hard to understand but one you see which ones you only buy every 6 to 10 months it will make more sense.

fox farm isn't junk Its all i use and I have not one complaint. It works great, I use it for my clones, seedlings the whole nine, no problems yet. It is kinda hot but all I do is let the clones/seedlings go until they start to yellow a little and then give them some verde from humbolt. Thats all they will need for food through the entire veg cycle. Never burnt a plant

Im sorry buddy, but if you dont flush your plants before you "chop" them your herb will not burn evenly due to built up salt in your buds. Your smoke probably has a slight snap crackle and pop to it and is probably harsh too. If you flush for 1.5-2 weeks before you harvest you will still get as good of a yield as if you didnt. Your not sacrificing yield when you dont flush your sacrificing taste and aroma. Cronic smells good, and taste good right? Its cause the flush homie!!!!!!!

A plant grown outdoors never gets any type of flush and yet they never produce that harshness unless not cured properly! Unless someone can show me how nature is flushing at precisely the right time to not allow for the "snap, crackle, and pop", or the harshness, then it's still no flushing for me.

Apples to oranges really. And since an outdoor plant gets flushed so regularly, if anything it's an argument for not against.
And you don't have the chemicals to wash away..
Understanding the cannabis plant would help one to understand the benefits of flushing.
The best part of the plant gets built up in older leaves and growth, and the only way to get them to give up the goods is to starve the plant of any outside nitrogen or food. The plant turns to itself and starts draining the leaves and older growth, that's what turns the leaves yellow right before harvest. Well I guess you would only know the leaves turn yellow right before harvest if you flushed.
I can't get the best my plants have to offer if I don't flush..

I'm organic too...no ph'ing, no flushing. Just water and wait after mixing my soil.
Can't beat the taste of bud grown with guano...

How do you explain how an outdoor plant gets flushed of its nutrients if every time it rains it is absorbing more from the surrounding soil. There is no flush there? Cannabis does not selectively choose to stop uptaking nutrients from the soil just because flower formation is occuring. Also, the yellowing of leaves occurs, just as it does with our tree's, oaks, maples, etc. because of the decreased light levels eventually getting to a point that photosynthesis cannot occur at a pace capable of maintaining its green. Even keeping a plant on strong nutes with relatively large amounts of nitrogen will not prevent it's leaves from yellowing if your lighting is on a 12 hour or more darkness schedule. Try it, you'll see!

Well since you went from "never gets flushed" to every time it rains, I doubt you are looking for information as much as you are an argument, and all I'm trying to do is offer information.
I don't want to smoke chemicals, so I flush.
I don't want a soar throat from smoking, so I flush.
I don't want to have to relight a join a couple of times while smoking it, so I flush.
I want my meds to burn smoothly and clean, so I flush.
I want to maximize my plants quality, so I flush.
I enjoy the fine tastes and aromas of cannabis, so I flush.
I want to strains flavor to be maximized, so I flush.
Good enough isn't good enough for me, so I flush.

But Buddy, not to pick an argument here, however how would you explain the fact that organic pot is the best tasting smoke you can get? You cannot flush out the nutrients like you can with chemical salts, and even though it would SEEM that nature flushes every time it rains, the nutrients are really still there right up to (and after) the harvest? Plants do not store salts in their tissue, they'd die if they did. It's probably the FORM of nutrient, not the nutrient itself, that would be MY theory.

I would suggest anyone growing, including organic growers flush a week or two before harvest offering the plant nothing more then water intill it's cut down. The same principles apply.

Buddy, once again, you cannot flush organic nutrients out of the soil like can be done with chemical salt ferts, so it's an exercise in futility.

I've heard this to be true as well, I agree with flushing in between stages & again before the final flush @ harvest - at the same time every cultivator has their own techniques =)

You can't flush the nutrients out but you can still starve the plant by just watering !

As microbial action continues to break down organic matter and make more nutrients available to the plant? It's basic biology man.
