Hey guys I was whondering if anyone has used Coast of maine stonnington blend supersoil? I bought a bag at local store for $25 1.5 cubic feet and I looked at the reviews and the ingredients it has alot of good ingredients for super soil and my question is,I had read multiple reviews saying its too harsh for autos and will burn seedlings,so if I add some basic peat moss like 1 part perlite one part peat moss and 1 part soil do you think that will work ok? And is there anyway to treat tje soil before I use it for fungus knats just in case and do i need to let it sot outside for a month or is it ready to use out of the bag Stonington Blend is a rich mixture of horticultural grade sphagnum peat, coco fiber (coir) lobster compost, composted dark bark, dehydrated hen manure, perlite, worm castings and a mixture of meals (kelp, alfalfa, fish bone), mycorrhizae and dolomithic limestone to adjust pH.e

I’ve seen a few around here using that mix; should be ok. If you need to control gnats get some diatomaceous earth and sprinkle it into the top layer of soil every so often. They will not lay their eggs in it and if they do it’s certain death. To a gnat DE is like jumping into a pool filled with billions of tiny razor blades.

I cut it with some happy frog 50 50 for seedlings and they’ve done great.

Add more perlite...it needs it its a pretty heavy mix with the lobster compost that’s added.

It’s good stuff though.

Stonington blend is their formula for cannabis growing
I have a friend who really likes it and uses it as is. I am going to give it a try next year outdoors, please let us know how it works out I've always liked their soil

I see you're growing autos, so maybe do a layer of the stonington blend on the bottom area and then do something lighter up top
