What are you using to make Lacto-b other than milk? And what are the benefits other than sugar (lactose)?
You got it. I like to scratch in some dry amendments and then cover that with a layer of vermicompost. I will then throw down some clover seeds as a cover crop which will fix atmospheric nitrogen. When you plug a new clone in there, you can just chop and drop the clover as it starts to get shaded out by your mj plant. The clover makes for a nice mulch.Hey guys great thread. I have been Growing using subs super soil for 2 years now with good results. I just came across this thread and I am very intrigued. I'm not looking for a spoon feeding since I know a little about organics. Okay here is my question, when you mix this mix for the first time there is no amendments on top it is mixed into the soil like a super soil then after each grow you simply cut the plant at base dig new hole and plant another in the same pot, and then add your amendments to the top of the pot. Did i forget or misunderstood anything?
Absolutely! I usually add about half of the ammendments by volume of what I otherwise started out with when re-using the soil. You can always go light with it and top-dress further in to flower if you feel you need it. To me, a good source of compost layed down on the top is the key. I add quite a bit of minerals/rock dusts when I first build the soil so I don't add any more when re-ammending ..... so depending on how much you initially added you may or may not need to add more. You're gonna love the results. The soil seems to just keep getting better as you recycle it.Great info stow I appreciate it. Can I use my used super soil for the start and reammend?
BTI slam DUNK those em effers! Hate those damn things!I added Mykos to my mix and now I have a huge infestation of fungus gnats!
bti doesn't work for shit. Just topdress with worm castings and compost. Gnats will be gone within a week.I added Mykos to my mix and now I have a huge infestation of fungus gnats!
WHAT?! My black gold top dressed with crab shell, neem, etc didn't do anything to those annoying effers. Top dressed a quarter chunk of the dunk and made a tea out of the other three quarters and they were done. They fly everywhere after the tea, so I put stickies on top of pots. BTIs absolutely work.bti doesn't work for shit. Just topdress with worm castings and compost. Gnats will be gone within a week.
well california gnats are immune to bti. It never ever worked for me. topdressing with compost and worm castings had the best results. plus bennies and nutesWHAT?!

I wish the VC/CT worked for me. Woulda saved me 7$ on dunks. I was a little flustered, with all the chitin and VC in my soil, only to have those SOBs gnawing on my roots.well caliornia gnats are immune to bti.

to me the worst is when you have spider mites and webs. Yet there is zero damage to the plant since they have strong genetics. The spider mites wont leave regardless of what you use.. except for lady bugs. its just annoying... to deal with. not as frustrating as them eating your plants. I think I'm going to add a venus fly trap for the the crickets. I see one at least twice a week. My cat sometimes kills the crickets.....I can't stand when those cocky bastards swarm you like it's there turf. I've knocked over solos, bumped my head on filters, burned myself on bulbs...all while swatting or chasing the damn things. I despise them so much, I smoke there dead bodies!
LOL! I feel ya. I've wasted hours of my life swatting at those effers.I can't stand when those cocky bastards swarm you like it's there turf.
