I'm not one to talk shit, except for when it amuses me
but subcool invests his money in McDonald's stock, dude's soil building skills leaves a lot to be desired. And the way he turns soil into an ammonia pile; following the recipe doesn't matter. Just don't plant anything into your ammonia pile until it stops stinking up your basement.
If you wanted to follow a quality recipe like the one I posted for you previously tho...
It's compost, so you could use it as a part of your compost ratio. Might as well use it up if you got it. I would lean on a more bacterial heavy compost like worm castings, composted manure, or thermally produced compost for a cannabis crop though. Forest floor compost is great for soil building in a garden bed, it's not something I would recommend or personally use in a container garden. You could make an argument for it's benefits, it's not like it's toxic lol. But it is bagged compost, that has to travel on a truck to a distributor, and then on another truck to a wholesaler, where it sits for god knows how long until it goes on another truck to your local growstore or online distributor; where it sits for god knows how long until you buy it. And they charge you 10 bucks for half a cubic foot.
My point being, you might be able to find a local compost producer (most towns have at the very least a large landscaping company that produces or sources local compost that they will also sell). The product will be fresher and more active, and you'll pay 20 bucks for a cubic yard (you prolly don't have to buy all that)
hahaha. trust me, you're not the first or last to talk shit about subcools recipe. As i navigate this forum, i come across a lot of peeps talking smack about it. But it is the recipe that introduced me to organic growing, therefor, allowing me to cross paths with you. So i guess thats cool. Anyway, like i said before, i had a lot of the ingredients left over from about a year ago and decided to use them up when i read some guys modified subcools recipe.

i spent $152.47 acquiring all needed ingredients i didn't have; that includes both bags of Roots and ingredients for your base soil. Not bad at all IMO. Also, as i was going through my shopping list, the guys at the shop really liked your recipe and said that i will be much happier with your medium.
Both Mediums are sitting nice and hot under the sun. The subcool i will cook for an entire month. Rasta Roy will let it sit about 2 weeks.
Ill post pics very soon.
