Awesome awesome...thank you so much for your help here. I mixed it all up and rebagged it...I guess I will abandon the crab and neem on this cook for now, maybe top dress in a little later on if I get ahold of it? Hypothetically, if I planted into this mix later this week would I run the risk...

I grabbed the gypsum and lime today....I cant find any crab or neem but I bought this Espoma Bio-Tone Starter on a whim, figured I needed a soluble all purpose fert in the grow room....do you think I should toss some in when I add in the lime and gypsum?

Chugging along

Thank you guys...looks like with the weekend and new years I wont be able to grab anything until the 2nd. Google said the shop was open today but I drove by and they were closed, bummer.

I do have some mykos! I think the espoma gypsum is pelletized, the espoma garden lime might be as well... is that okay or do I need a more micronized version?

Would it be wise of me to add them all if I got the crab, neem, and gypsum soon or should I only add the gypsum to my current mix?...maybe grab a bag of garden lime as well? I feel like my mix I potted is missing a pH buffer, I haven't been able to afford a proper soil pH tester yet... If I...

I'm in northeastern Oklahoma...definitely a ton of woods and foresty areas around here to nab some soil from. His attitude seemed to be I'd be doing myself an extreme disservice without adding some local soil but I wasn't sure how factual he was being vs opinion.

A family member of mine who grows this way as well is really suggesting to me that I go out and get a couple shovel fulls of outside natural dirt to add to my mix as well...would you personally recommend this? His reasoning was that the mix wont retain nutrients well without adding some real dirt.

Yep they're fabric smart pots...thanks again for checking my homework, Dad! Lmao

Big mama is thriving pretty well...I've topped at the fifth node and have two buckets of super soil cooking since last night. The stressed one looks a lot better but you can definitely tell it fell behind the other plant.

I mixed up two of the 7 gallon pots with your ratios and put them in the tent....It was in the tub overnight before I potted them this morning and I could already feel it getting warm. I gotta grab another bag of castings and maybe another bag of compost to make two more bags. How much and how...

Thanks again! Thats good to know because I was under the impression that I needed to keep it undisturbed to allow the biology to grow.

Thank you...I know ideally I would cook this a month but how early could I get away with planting into this? My first girl is thriving pretty hard and will be three weeks since it broke the surface tomorrow. I think Im starting to see a root or two becoming visible in the bottom drainage...

Would you recommend layering this with base in some fashion or should I just plant into straight super soil?

I should not add mykos until I'm actually planting into this soil right? It wont survive the cooking process without roots to attach to?

Hell yeah, much appreciated! Yeah I wanted to get crab and neem but couldn't find it at any of my local garden shops so I just wound up going with what I could find locally. They do have gypsum

I've got some 3 week plants vegging in 1 gallon pots so I've got time to let it cook before I need to repot to the cooked 7's

I have...however the nutes I have are different than the recipes on there so I wasnt exactly sure how to adjust them. Most of them measure for kelp, crab and neem but I have a larger and different assortment...however half a cup per cuft seems to be fairly standard?

I've got alfalfa, blood, bone, kelp, greensand, azomite, mykos, and oregonism XL on hand to mix into a base and start cooking. I'm not great at math, so I wanted to settle on definitive ratios before I start mixing. With the way I'm set up to mix this, I really need to build a 7 gallons worth...
