Else there is this this recipe with the biobizz products, i plan use this with 70% all mix and 30 coco:
• 50% potting soil or Coco-Mix (500 litres)
• 30% Perlite (300 litres)
• 15% BIOBIZZ high quality worm manure (150 litres)
• 5% Pre-Mix (50 litres)

What ya think teacher, is this a good base soil to start the supersoil mix? :eyesmoke:

I didnt respond because I simply have no idea.
It looks good to me if I was in your position I would try it and see
I would start with the bat-mix it looks more in line with what were currently using.

I used straight up pro-mix as my base.
The results were very nice considering I used more base than I should have when mixing up the batch.
I'd rather use roots but it's not available locally, yet the pro-mix filled in ok.
I'm not trying to say it's going to work for you but it's an option..
I do think it requires a little adjusting of the recipe though since pro-mix is missing so much good stuff roots has.

I wish I had a good camera to snap some pictures of your grandkids here maybe soon..

U funny...anyways I jus checked my receipts and u can get the whole mix of soil and additives for about $150.....if u can't find the products locally try online.

I kno san Diego hydroponics sells organic fertilizers and amendments ...fair prices too. I believe they have an online store and I'm sure theyprobably ship with no problem

And ps to whoever +rep me earlier (didn't leave name). U can do this method indoors. .. U don't have to do it outside...:still a lot easier and less involved than those nutrient regime following hydro fools. Lol

I'm given it a run right now....jus started...soil should be cooked enuff by now....about to do transplants into SS


Happy growing..

I know I know, im really not lazy. I just got in very bad wreck and shattered my whole right arm, including my elbow, wrist and i am right handed. and my left hand is a little swollen so its kinda hard to peck at the keys. Im having a couple of surgerys friday and am getting a bunch of metal in my arm. Hell, its taken me 15-20min just to type this.
I found a place in michigan that sells roots for around $10-12 a bag but the shipping alone is around 80.00 bucks. I might just try to find some local soil with similar ingrediants but the Roots has a whole lot of good stuff in it, a lot more than whats around here. Ingrediant wise, i have not found anything better than the Roots Soil.
I would order it online and pay for the shipping but im not working right now and cant afford it, so i guess online is not an option.
Thanks Everyone

U could jus buy the beneficial bacteria and add it to the base soil to enchance it...Great White is a good product that I added to the RO water when I started 'baking' my SS..it costs about $30.

hope this helps...

I did a ph test of my soil mix and I have a question for y'all.

I watered a 1 gallon pot of soil with 7.3 tap water and let it sit for a day. Ran more water through and tested the runoff.
The ph of my runoff is at 5.8.

I added just over a cup of prilled dolomite to my batch.

Should I add some more lime? Or should I wet the mix a bit more and let the dolomite do its thing?

My amendments are the same as subs recipe except for the medium. I used a 50/50 mix of Pro-Mix and Happy Frog. I cant get roots where I am...

Thanks for any help.
