Hi Everyone at 420!
Thought I'd start a fresh journal on this recipe of "Super" Soil. I have been following growers soil mixes like SubCool420, Doc Bud, IceMud, Gittergreen and Fuzzy Duck's soil mixes and they seem to be working great. My soil mix is knowledge learnt from these guys put into my own mix of ingredients I could find. Plus mine Is a smaller mix so I cut all the values down.
The reason I have gone to soil Is I wanted to go organic and stop using salty chem nutes and destroying the ground we live on. Also organics has a much more natural taste and I cant be bothered with loads of nutes and additives as it just doesn't seem natural.
Ok Lets get this rolling............................
What strain is it - Blue Mystic (Genetics: Indica strain with some origins in California) + CH9 Jack
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid - Indica, Sativa (not sure on percentage)
Is it in Veg or Flower stage - Seedlings
If in Veg -
If in Flower stage -
Indoor or outdoor -Indoor
Soil or Hydro - Super soil Mix
If soil... what is in your mix - Mix Below
If soil... What size pot - 12 Ltre
Size of light - Veg = 250w cfl 6500k / Flower 400w HPS
Is it aircooled - Yes
Temp of Room/cab - 21-27 C
RH of Room/cab - 40 - 70 RH
PH of media or res - 6.2 Organics hopefully keep it in range
Any Pests - Not YET!
How often are you watering - When pot is light
Type and strength of ferts used - Super soil + Compost Teas
Seedling Soil Mix
The Blue Mystic all germinated in a glass of water in 24hrs! Quite impressed as they all germed the same time. I have put them into some small pots maybe 4-6inch pots with,
- 50% John Innes
- 30% Manure Compost
- 20% Perlite
+ 1 tsp Mycorrhizal Fungi
+ 1 tbsp Bone Meal (3.12.0)
Super Soil Mix
The 45L Super Soil Mix is:
- 11L John Innes No2
- 11L John Innes No2 strong mix, also with coco
- 11L Horse Manure Compost
- 10L Perlite
- 400g Worm Castings
- 300g Fish, Bone, Blood Meal (4.7.4)
- 50g Garden Lime
- 50g Sea Bird Guano (1.12.1) + Micro elements
- 75g Mycorrhizal Fungi
- 1 Tbsp Epsom Salts
- 1 Tbsp Calcium Carbonate
This is a quite mellow mix as you can see. Apparently not all strains like a super soil and as I couldnt get all the needed ingredients anyway, here is my mix and if it needs anything added down the line we can add it to the next.
Compost tea mix 1 Gallon .
Veg Mix:
- 1/2 Cup John Innes Compost
- 1 Tbsp Worm Castings
- 1 Tsp Molasses
Flower Mix:
- 1/2 Cup John Innes Compost
- 1 Tbsp Sea Bird Guano
- 1 Tbsp Bone Meal (3.12.0)
- 1 Tbsp Molasses
And Perlite obviously.
Thanks for stopping by and all help is more than welcome here!!! Pictures to come when lights come on.
