I'm still tryna wrap my head around Peat Moss not being organic.

what do you mean!

Isn't peat moss derived from a plant? If yes, doesn't that make it organic? If yes, how is the Brix Kit considered between 5%-8% organic materials if ProMix is about 70% Peat Moss?

FWIW, it's my opinion that Brix soil can be reused beyond 3x, but I believe (speculation) that after 3 grows, it would be too difficult for DB to predict what the soil comp and chemistry would then be to be able to make a #4 amendment to suit the needs. If the user is competent though, I believe he can just keep on reusing the spent PM and correcting as needed with nutes. This is DEFINITELY the approach I am taking moving forward. I have all needed salts and just got all the other amendments and will be trying my luck at amending everything myself. I'm confident that if I can make the soil stable enough to support life that I will be able to fert as needed, exactly as if I were feeding a hydro plant.

Maybe try adding a TBS/Gal of tea of super worm frass for the chitin if your soil doesn't already have it.

Hay Dank How many runs are you going to try to get out of your super soil ? Just curious on how many I can expect with the SubCool super soil It sounds like three runs is all I can get from the High Brix line, Maybe 4 like Skybound says but with out soil test I will not know what to use past a third run with the High Brix stuff. I plan to keep using the Oly mix and the Coots mix for a while along with some BoogieBrew compost tea. That's my plans starting next spring unless something changes

Honestly I will probably buy BoggieBrew compost tea I don't think they are a sponser so I cant link it but they put a lot of stuff in it and it is supposed to be the best tea mix. But it is good to have the recipe in case I want to make someyour welcome pc remember only small amoun

I bet you can use it till it starts to go deficient and just add ferts to keep the defs at bay until the end of that run, then you'll know going forward what will deplete first and can correct the recipe for future blends. This is the approach (I believe) that DB uses in his kit as the first run amendment is mostly calcium and some phos and less N. Everything else is in small doses and are added as needed via the drench feeds.

These mods are very chill IMO and they'll allow you to link to various pages so long as you give them some respect and link your page to a word, like we do in our signatures. If you can hide your link in the context of a sentence, they mostly just skip right past it. 420 mods are the best of all grower sites.

I think you are right about it. But I have a couple years worth of hot soil already mixed. I'm thinking I'll just save the used soil in a large trash can and keep using fresh hot soil for awhile. Hopefully it will work out. But it's all on how it goes . I'm hoping I can get away with it and maybe some simple teas like sticky makes
