I have the recipe and have made it and yes it is the best, but l cut it with 50% Espoma Organicno doubt oldman, i try! I used to be some what ok in soiless promix years ago, but i switched to hydro about 7 years ago and these are my first soil plants ive had since then. It seems i always underfeed now, i got purple stems all of a sudden and the calmag problem all at once, I think i fixed it for now though (I hope). It's tough getting it all dialed back in. I love Subcools supersoil, just add water and good to go, I may make a batch sometime soon but it takes a month or more to "cook". So good though! If you haven't heard of it do a search on riu for "subcool super soil" . Also, there's a good thread called "heisenburg tea" that you might want to check out. Very good advice on how to brew a nice aact
because it runs too hot for a lot of Indica's for some reason but you guys tend to grow a ton of
Sativa dominant strains so it would be the nuts.
By the way for a quick start with soil try: Espoma Organic, pearlite, lime, green sand,worm castings,
bat guano, powdered kelp, green compost. This will get you going in good style and totally organic.

Awesome, thanks oldman, next time I repot my little seedlings i'll make a batch of that! My mission is to keep all my mothers in organic soil because it's really a pain to keep a plant growing in hydro for a long time, soil is definitly the way to go for mother plants in my case. What I plan on doing is taking clones off each of my mother plants and start the mother plants with a fresh start with the cuttings..because they've been through hell and back, and taking clones from a not so healthy mother plant causes some unneeded stress. I honestly have no idea how my latest cuttings rooted in 5 days, they must be very stress tolerable plants

You feed enough compost/ewc/microbe teas to those mothers in that soil the soil will eventually come self-sustaining. Just water and let the little microbes do work!
Make sure mom is in a root pouch or other cloth pot so it will airprune the roots and at the same time
add the extra o2 they need and love.
I like the 10-15 gallon root pouch for lg. plants indoors.
Almost forgot my last "trick" a dozen red worms per pot.

I've heard people all about putting the red worms in the pots and I've heard people saying it's not worth it.Make sure mom is in a root pouch or other cloth pot so it will airprune the roots and at the same time

You think it makes the much of a difference? Have you done a side by side before?

I use home made compost and have been clearing and dumping soil after a flower cycle and had worms in the pots.

I also got a worm bin I made but never had found worms when I dump soil after flowering yet.
Maybe I should be looking closer lol.

Started a ewt tonight for the seedlings next watering.
They help aerate the soil it's not for fert. but for o2.
No side by side but I don't need scientific proof unless l'm writing a paper on it.(lol)
Lets call it gardening tradition - good karma, happy worms = healthy soil.
By the way guys backyard compost including coffee,eggshells, fruit all these things you
pay for when you buy fert. in a bottle. I should note if you grow hydro. don't put
compost in (lol) I keep one of those cheep coffee grinders for eggshells and other stuff
that needs to be broken down.
As you move your compost pile around take the soil from underneath for your first seedling
transplant stand back and watch them grow.

I have a great manure tea recipe but you can only make it in summer and far from
your house. If anyone is interested let me know but it does smell to high heaven.
