Hey y'all,
I had a couple soil grows a few years ago and have just recently started up again. I've been browsing this site and GC a lot soaking up info, as well as reading Teaming with microbes (on Fungi chapter now). I was on the fence of doing what I had done previously (FFOF with a line of nutes) or trying a supersoil type mix. After reading a bit, I've decided to go the super soil route.
My current setup:
6 seedlings (various bag seeds collected over the years) in a 4x6 tent with a Sunblaze 24 T5. They all sprouted on 01/16 and are in cups with Roots 707. Temps range from 68-75, humidity 30-40%.
Today I went to various nurseries and collected some stuff for a super soil mix. Here's what I got thus far:
- 2 38qt bags Roots 707
- 1 12qt bag FFHF
- 1 16qt Bountea Alaskan Humisoil (which I just read is basically sphagnum moss)
- 1 8qt bag worm gold EWC
- 1 2.2lb Jamaican bat guano (1-10-1)
- 4lbs epsom salts
- 3lbs bone & blood meal from Hi-yield (6-7-0)
- 2lbs Hydrated lime from Hi-yield
- 10lbs bag Azomite
What should I add before I start mixing/cooking? Is powdered humic acid a must? What about kelp meal?
