I need complete soil amendment guise for FFOF

Upscaling my outdoors a little bit, and using FFOF. What amendments should I use that will continuously feed? Liquids aren't a good idea, I just want to mix into soil. Thanks!

Bat and/or seabird guano is good. worm castings, watered down with fish emulation should do the trick.

How much of each per gallon?

The Osmocote Plus line of ferts. would be ideal for situations of minimal maintenance. Since it is granular (prilled) it offers ease-of-use along with both Macro/Micro nutrients. The prills are coated in various thickness that allows the ferts. to be released at 4 different rates depending on temperatures and moisture presence. Other than throwing in a few handfulls of dolomitic lime to act as a pH buffer nothing else would be needed besides checking occasionally for pests. I've done many, many outdoor grows and these products always work well for me. I have used the 15-9-12 the past 2 years with great yields but you really can't go wrong with any of the ratios they offer.

fox farms has a pretty good selection of happy frog fertilizer that you mix into the soil. i am using the Happy Frog Acid Loving Plants it is 6-4-4 which is the same as grow big

Wouldn't that be a little too much alkaline for the babies though?

You can also try out Organicare Pure.

Fox Farms makes several amendments as well. Do a little looking and you'll be surprised what you see.

I did a 50/50 mix of FFOF. and black gold, filled a garbage can about half way and added a 5 gal of worm castings and a hand full of guano and a hand full of water crystals. Used about a gallon of the fish emulsion/superthrive with water and moistened the soil. Then let it sit for a week. That worked for me. Here is a shot of all of it together.



I have used the soil mix 3 times now. fall, winter and spring harvest in my greenhouse. I add liquid nutrients now but I honestly think they would do fine without them.

Whoops almost forgot. I mixed in that perlite too.

look up subcools super soil ... all you have to do is add water all season long.
