    Adding single ammendments to blended fertilizer?

    So I've done a few "super soil" like grows with good success but have a question about if the method is sound in terms of products used. Would it make sense to add single ingredient ammendments to a blended fertilizer mix that contains said ingredients? Does adding the npk ratios of the blend...

    Veg Times

    Until my last grow I had been growing in coco with liquid nutrients. Last time I went with an organic super soil grow, it went great except my girls didn’t put on the usual weight. I’m thinking because I was used to coco I was used to only worrying about top mass before flower forgetting about...

    How do you store super soil?

    I mixed up a large amount of super soil to last me for the year & put it in big plastic bins with the lid on. I turned it once after the first week of baking. Do I need to keep turning it every few weeks or is it ok to leave as is? I'm afraid of it going anaerobic

    Organic way to quickly fix deficiencies in super soil

    I'm seeing some phosphorous deficiencies in my soil, and I'm wondering what's the organic approach to fixing this? I know I can water in or top dress some amendments, but it would take a long time before that material is broken down & available. I've thought about making an AACT with some high...

    Storing Super Soil

    I mixed up about 15 gallons of subcools soil recipe, sprayed it down with some aerated compost tea, then put it in a plastic storage bin with the top slightly cracked. What's the best way to store this? Can I leave this in my garage as is, or do I really need to keep mixing it every week?
