Hello,
I'm a medical marijuana cancer patient and I'm performing a greenhouse grow in the far north this year - about 15 min south of Canada near the west coast (bout 45 min inland). The grow will contain about 1/2 landrace strains like Columbian Gold, Malawi Gold, South African Kwazulu, Afghani Kush, as well as some indoor hybrids like Chronic, Sogouda, Kaboom, White Russian, Jack the Ripper. These plants are in organic super soil (I only grow 100% organic in soil) in 10 gallon pots currently and they will be planted in May and should be about (id guess) 3-4 feet tall at that point.
The grow will be in virgin forest soil where giant pine and cedar trees were last year that were felled. Now it's sun shine filled grassland. The soil has good drainage and our well water is very clean natural mountain water at 24 ppm at 6.0 PH--these numbers are from my personal testing at different times/points so I believe them to be accurate. Soil seems to chill at about 6.5-7.0 PH naturally.
My question is this...it's too expensive for me to make enough super soil to amend the soil for each plant, but my neighbor is a horse owner and has offered me all the horse poop I want. Is horse poop good for marijuana plants? I've used it for years in my rose gardens but never for pot as my grows have always had to be indoors and I just used super soil. I have some extra supplies of blood meal, bat guano, bone meal, kelp powder, worm castings, azomite, fish meal, crab meal, oyster shell, etc so these also can be added to amend the soil. Suggestions? Amounts?
Can some experienced outdoor growers offer me some advise for how I can better prep the soil between now and may and if horse poop is ok to use as a soil amendment? Thank you very much.
