So being on a budget and one who dont play into fancy graphics on over-priced "cannabis" products, i mix my own soil, have for 3 years now with great success without amendments, This year i finally have the means to make a better soil mix. im looking for critique of my mix, to tweek amounts ,ect.
i will be planting 12 seeds in early march indoors and moving to outdoors early-mid may into 65 gallon smart pots
20- 3cf bales sphagnum peat moss
55- 1 1/2cf bags mushroom compost
2- 4cf bags chunky perlight
1- 50lb bag OMRI listed soluble humic acid
1- 50lb bag Neptune Harvest kelp meal
1- 50lb bag Neptune Harvest crab shell meal
1- 50lb bag blood meal
1- 50lb bag fish bone meal
4- 30lb bags earthworm castings
1- 11lb bag azomite
my plan is to mix 1/2 of this soil base with the above amendments and let it "cook" just as with subcools mix, the remaining 1/2 with only azomite, ewc, kelp meal, and crab shell meal a week or so before i transplant outdoors into their final home in the 65 gallon smart pots
what im really looking for here is amounts of the amendments to use, i was thinking in the "super soil" mix i need to use somewhere between 1/2 and 1 cup of each the amendments per cf of soil base (excluding the perlight cf)......so that 48.125cf needed of the super soil. anyways sorry this is getting long winded.
