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,

Hey TMB, I had a question for ya. It just froze last night here and my super soil is cooking outside in normally 70 degree temps, my soils is in 2 plastic swimming pools with a tarp over the top. Will the freeze kill my soil? Let me know thanks!!!

The freeze is not a good thing when trying to develop a "live soil". I would pile native soil (hay, straw, old insulation, something) around the outside of the pool to act as insulation, and then some kind of insulation on top, but below the tarp. Maybe an old electric heating blanket between tarps?
Does your pools have drain holes? Careful on water collecting on the bottom and creating a "septic situation", or even freezing. My soil is watered every day by timer for 10 minutes by sprinkler, but my soil is on the ground, not in pools.
Good luck and keep us posted.

thanks for the reply, forecast says it will get to 35-32 the next couple of nights.. After that I'm in the clear, I'm going to take your advice and insulate the two pools I appreciate the response.

Sorry for all the questions, but with all the added insulation will a couple more nights of lower 30s temps be noticeably detrimental to my soils quality? Thanks again man I appreciate the help

You'll be fine.
In "Mother Nature" only the first inch or two will freeze, all that other soil under that inch or two is insulated. I would rotate the soil after the freeze is over and "re-ignite" the frozen soil (if any did freeze) with that good stuff underneath.
You seem like a smart person. just use common sense and you'll be fine.
I can tell by your soil list you pay attention to detail, and that's a good thing. Just don't over think things, hard to sleep that way...LOL.
Just keep this fact in the back of your mind as a grower of Marijuana......it's a weed. Marijuana is very forgiving as a plant. It grows in some of the most harsh conditions in the world because it's a weed. With a little forward thinking and love you can produce an amazing plant that cures many things.
You'll be fine!
