I'm switching to soil I have some happy frog mixed with light warrior, I am planting all new clones into it. I am planning on Making super soil, I guess but untill I can make some what is the best soil mix and or nutes for taste and smell. I need some thing ready to go untill the super soil ingredients arrive and can cook.

don't do a supersoil, just do a lil research and get a nice recipe without all the redundant, water soluble, and second rate ingredients.
oh and don't layer your soil either.
check out cootz mix.
or most of us organic nerds have close to the same recipe
don't think any of the veteran organic growers do anything near the "supersoil mix/techniques
alfalfa meal, crab meal, fish bone meal, minerals, kelp meal, mix and age.
try to avoid bovine products if possible, especially bone meal

I got a big bail of Canadian peat, 3 bags of cow manure, big bag of perlite, small bag vermiculite, some roots organic bat guano, and 5 big bags of (I forget the name) organic potting soil with worm castings.

I mixed it all up in a baby pool and got it moist with water from my koi pond(figured that would help add microbes and other good stuff to get it going).

Let it sit for 5 weeks.

Then I got all the soil in six 10 gallon grow bags and watered it with a mix of roots organics buddah grow, trinity, and catalyst, also added kelp meal and blackstrap mollases. That's been cooking for about a week.

Gonna transplant my girls at the end of the week into the 10 grow bags/soil mix. I didn't measure anything, did it all by eye and my mix is nice and spongy and drains good but holds water good too. I'm still a newb at making my own organic soils but I'm confident my mix will be good.

1/3 Peat
1/3 Worm Castings/Compost
1/3 aeration

^^This is your base mix

To each 1 cu ft of base mix add:

1/2 cup kelp meal
1/2 cup neem meal
1/2 cup crusteacean meal

1/2 cup gypsum
1/2 cup oyster shell flour

2-4 cups of Rock dusts (basalt,glacial,granite)

Mix up and plant in directly if you'd like. No cooking.. Or you can let it cook to let the smells go away if you'd like.. Either way is fine.

Oh yeah, and not just once. Many times over if you know how to take care of your soil (which is easy)

What I do to make sure my soil stays in tip top shape is top dress with neem, kelp, and compost every 2-3 weeks,

I also top dress Powdered malted barley as an enzyme source once a week as well. This isn't necessary but is like N02 for your plants for pennies on the dollar..

What kind of soil do you use with that biocanna?

Roots organic , fox farms, any organic soil from Home Depot, your choice. Or make your own soil mix then use Biocanna when your plants use most of the nutrients in the soil or both just don't make your mix too hot
