Hi guys, I just joined today and I appreciate all of the welcoming vibes. I'm doing my 2nd outdoor organic grow this year. Last year I did a gorilla grow in northern Illinois that came out wonderful considering the climate.(Largest plant 9oz, smallest plant 21g) Though this year I am in western Colorado! Not worried as long as I stay at 6 plants. Well anyway, I decided to make a super soil this year based roughly off of Subcools recipe:

6 cu. ft. Earth Gro potting soil(sand,perlite,compost, forest products)
-6 cu. ft. mushroom compost(composted poultry and horse manure, hay, cottonseed hulls, and sphagnum peat)
-20 lbs worm castings(1-0-0)
-4 lbs bone meal(4-12-0)
-2.5 lbs blood meal(12-0-0)
-2.2 pounds Peruvian seabird guano(12-11-2)
-1/3+1/4 cup Epsom salts
-Slightly over 1/3 cup of azomite
-16 quarts of perlite(half small pieces half large pieces)
-8 quarts of vermiculite
-6 packs of mykos inoculant
-5 bricks of rinsed Coco coir
-3 tbls of Humate(humic acid)
-1/3+1/4 cup of dolomite lime

What do you think? Is this soil too hot to transplant 5 week old seedlings into and then just water from then out? Let me know thanks!! Btw this is my first post so sorry in advance for any mistakes

Looks great!
Did you let this mix "cook"?
I would let this "cook" for as long as possible before using. I ready my soil by March 1st for use in May.
Good luck,

I use what is called Humbolts Super Soil, with great results. Per 200 gal smart pot - 4 bales sunshine mix, 4 cuft chicken poop, 80lbs worm castings, 3cuft perlite, 27lbs steamed bone meal, 10lbs kelp, 10lbs oyster shell, 10lbs dolomite lime, and 10lbs gypsum. If anyone is wanting to try this mix, feel free to contact me. I tweek this recipe a little. I make some easy to make teas and sprays that I use along the way. No bottled anything. 100% organic makes for best quality!

We have a "RIU" BBQ every spring near Sacramento, if you were local I was going to say come on out. But that's a bit of a drive.

Honestly man, go for it. I love it down here, it's goregeous. PLUS it's a growers dream!! I only moved here a month ago!! Was born out here and lived here for a while but I moved out east as well to Illinois, just got back and got right on the bandwagon!! I'm starting school for botany soon at CMU they have a wonderful program. The best way you want to make money doing what we all love is to get licensed from the state to sell to the medical dispensaries, it's a much better route than trying to deal with the recreational so I've heard. As long as you produce QUALITY stuff I met a guy out here who's licensed and the shops buy his pounds for 3-4 grand... Do the math you can do good for yourself.. While making friends!

It is destiny man the more the merrier, I'm stoked for you dude it all came together for me too I'm glad to be out here. I don't know exactly where you guys are lookin to move but the western slope has a lot of shops and opportunity! Man the Rockies are a completely different world. An. The people!! They've been so welcoming and friendly!! It's really different man I love it, I'm in a more desert climate you could say,about 20 mins from the Colorado national monument. I get a kick ass view of the grand mesa(biggest flat top mountain in the world) from my front yard man!! And goregeous and all alpine up there, only 40 or so minutes away! Goregeous full of alpine a and lakes and streams. It's phenomenol man truly breathtaking, I'd say get the hell out here!! Like you said when you get your indoor setup just how you like you're golden man it's all about finding your nitch and growing the best quality you can!! All you need is clean, QUALITY stuff to make it down here! Come out brother!
