Lowe's Super Soil Grow - Blue Dream / Blue Coral / Ice Bomb

Not so fast on blasting the miracle grow soil. When I first started I used MG organic garden soil and amended it with perlite, bone meal, guano, and other things. I used it outside in backfilled holes but it worked very good. I think its a good way for newbies to get started in organic growing. But I would stay away from their ferts.

This soil has proved to be a solid performer - i have no bugs ... I have no burns .
I have not even fed these plants and they are large , healthy and green !

I ONLY PH my water ( 6.5 ) and let them go. I use FFOF , PROMIX and Roots Organic
BUT none of those has gave me the health and vigor as this mix has done.

I am always on the lookout for simpler things when i grow Autos . I came upon a grow journal posted by @CptNemo as his Lowe's Soil mix and the results from it. I am a grower that has been using Hempy Style grows lately and have grown in FFOF / Light Warrior .

But Am really excited with this different choice for my indoor grows. And wanted to share how well this " Store Brand " is working.

I still grow with these soils and have been overall pleased but wanted to try something new.
Originally he used a 2-part mix 50/50 , but have modified it slightly. I added perlite and myco rich Light Warrior as an amendment.

This is also a reasonably priced mix ( around $11 bucks ) ... It has a more mulch like look and feel. It is also a dark rich soil mix. First thing i noticed from both is that seemed cooked ... As there was a pronounced feel of heat deep within bag. This also needs perlite. There is another version ( blue bag ) which is a Moisture Max version , but that is a quality that wouldn't be good for watering schedules.

Original mix : 50/50 mix of both in lower half or third of your container then topped remainder with the garden soil .

My Mix : 50/50 mix as listed but added 25-30% chunky perlite - for more drainage and aeration.
I chose a layered mix - first the bottom " super " soil mix with perlite then 1/2 cup Light Warrior with Myco. Then topped with final Garden Soil mix with a bit of perlite.

Containers : 3 gallon Smart Pots .... I chose these as an alternative to hard side pots because of their Air Pruning of root system and there better aeration ( oxygen ). I noticed that this is a very light feeling mix .. So i will have to wait til they get their " legs " before adding any heavy watering.

SEEDS :
Bomb seeds - ICE BOMB AUTO

The weed is an three way mix of Vanilla Kush, White Rhino and the infamous Bomb #1, and gets its name from the heavy coating of ice white THC crystals which form on the buds by harvest time.

I popped this strain last year and she was a beauty. So as an experiment this strain was chosen.

I have also popped a HUMBOLDT BLUE DREAM and Moxie Blue Coral.

Planted : Nov. 6

when you say 1/2 cup light warrior is that 4 oz's or 1/2 of a solo cup and do you mix it or layer it?
