Going organic: What soil, earth juice lineup, gaya green

I've been using the foxfarm nutes trio as well as their soil for all my grows so far, but started looking into different options (https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/best-dang-nute-side-by-side-testing-i-have-ever-seen.73074/)

out of curiosity and i think earth juice is what I want to try next. Also curious about gaya green that mr chanuks uses which seems super easy, but I'd have to import it and pay the high shipping cost.

I've found a lot of info about feeding schedules and brewing teas, but I'm curious to know what soil I should be using for earth juice. Foxfarm soil or is there a different one that's better for earth juice products?

Thanks guys

If you like using FF soils and mixes you could just stick with that and go totally organic but just adding a few amendments to your final pots which you would setup for each plant to flourish through their flowering cycle, then you would just have to water n' go. As long as you use a up-pot strategy where each time you up-pot you add new soil you will give your plants all they need until you place them into their final pots 2 - 3 weeks before you plan to flip them. Then in you final pots, add the following, 1 tablespoon of dolomite lime, ! tablespoon of seabird guano, 1 tablespoon of bat guano, 2 tablespoon of EWC, 2 tablespoons of fish bone meal to each 1 gallon of new soil placed in your final pots. Then just water with pH 6.3 tap water, but ever 3rd watering, add 1/4 teaspoon Epsom salt, and 1 tablespoon molasses to each gallon of water, and you will grow yourself some big beautiful plants with crazy sticky buds. And you can feed those pots whatever teas you might like, but trust me, they are NOT needed, and you can do the same thing with soils / soilless mixes, cut with 30% perlite, like FF / OF, PM / HP, Sunshine #4, etc, in other words, with good organic mixes!

Example, Godfather OG (CHR/LA/PR) grown in FF/OF with the above amendments F/21

Coots mix if you want an easy to use all purpose organic soil. Coots mix can be planted in at day one with no burning. The soil doesn't cook and it also has less potential lockout issues than a lot of super soils.

The soil mix is as follows, there are a few variations online


To make 1 cubic foot (7.5 gallons) of base soil:

1/2 part peat moss
1/2 part humus (compost and/or ewc- can do all compost or all ewc or some mixture of the two)
1 part aeration amendment (store bought castings have compaction issues so this is doubled from the original recipe)
1 cup lime (per cubic foot)
Nutritional amendments: you want to add about 2-3 cups total of all your nutritional amendments per cubic foot (7.5 gallons) of soil. Note that this means 2-3 cups total, a combination of all your nutritional amendments, not 2-3 cups of each amendment.
1 cup kelp meal
1.5 cups dry organic fertilizer (Epsoma tomato tone for KISS) I use 3/4 cup of neem meal and 3/4 cup alfalfa

Mineral amendment: now add 4 cups of your rock dust/ equivalent per cubic foot (7.5 gallons) of soil


Then look into living soil beds if you have the space and blu mats and you'll pretty much be set.

Premixed soils like FFOF are often not homogenized well and each bag can have wildly different nutrient profiles even among the same brand. They are also low quality relative to the price you are paying. Though I've used them plenty myself and grown some good bud with them.

If you use FFOF cut it with perlite at least +20% it compacts quite a bit.
