Hello all! New to the forum and new to growing as well. I am about to harvest my first indoor grow. Made a lot of mistakes but it's going to turn out OK. Have a little patch of land and want to try an outdoor grow. Sent a couple of soil samples in, but since I said I was growing cannabis, they only gave me the soil test results, but didn't give any recommendations as to what I need to add to the soil. I don't know much about it, but I'm guessing my soil is not very good at all. Here are the tests.

On the indoor grow I used Coco Loco from Fox Farms. What I'm thinking about doing on the outside grow is dig a hole 2-3 feet deep with post hole diggers and fill it with the Coco Loco and then add other nutrients as required. Does that sound like a good idea or a STOOPID idea? LOL Any info on what I need with these soil test results would be much appreciated!

One of the finest outdoor growers on this site and maybe the biggest plants (I've ever seen) too...doublejj grows in a chicken wire cage lined with landscape fabric. I don't know what he does for soil but I know he'll be glad to tell you. If you need soil help just ask...I'm a bit of a soil nut.
Do you understand how to make sense of all those numbers on the soil test? I've seen a few and that test is even difficult to understand.
The thing is they didn't tell you how much of the big three (NPK) and micronutes to add so it doesn't help to have the test if you cant use it. All that is is an analysis of what's in your soil, as I understand it.
I'd do the raised thing like doublejj and add your own mix. You'll have 10 ft tall plants if you do it like him.

HAHA, no, not my back yard. I have a beautiful little patch of land with a little sandy creek running through it and want to try outdoor there. I have it in my head that I want to plant them in the ground so their roots can grow as big as they want. Did a little more research on the site here and found subcools super soil recipe. I have a little tractor and can borrow a post hole digger for the 3-point, so I'm now thinking I'll drill a few holes right next to each other 3-4 feet deep and use the super soil in them.

OH, I also emailed the soil test place and asked if they could give me recommendations for growing tomatoes and, to my surprise, they sent the results updated with recommendations pretty quick! Here they are:

Kinda sucks that they tell you how much to add per acre. Still doesn't help a lot on knowing how much to add to a single plant, but at it shows the deficiencies.
