Super Soil Results

Great point. Bark is not ideal, you really don't want any bark in the mix, only wood. It was just at the shredded bark farm I purchased the stuff. And ever since I started using supersoil I actually never worry or measure my pH. If the soil contains a great buffer than the pH should not be an issue, and supersoil has a fantastic buffer after letting it sit for several weeks. At least that is what I have experienced in my growing. I can grow both blueberries and swiss chard next to each other in a supersoil style garden while one is very acidic and the other very alkaline.
awesome bro, thanks for the input +rep....nugs

anyone ever use sunshine 4 mix with subs recipe?
The very first time I made supersoil I used sunshine4 mix. Its works but you will probably run out of nutes during flowering as I did. If you do use the sunshine4 mix, just remember to leave a little bit of space at the top of the pot so you can top dress them with more supersoil during flower! Hope this helps.....

as matt said, its fine to use, his info is spot on with what sub said, thats why subs says its one of the last things he recommends to make it with.

This is a UW lady at about 8 weeks. Smells wierd, kinda like onions and B.O, but she's a great yielder with no stretch.

Is there anywhere to buy subcool super soil because I will not be able to make this myself?
Dioxide (member of tga) has been workin on a pre packaged supersoil mix. Subcool has been talkin about it on the weed nerd! Check out a couple of the recent weed nerds on youtube, tons of canna info...

Heres the deal, i live somewhere with no hydro shops and i don't want to order huge amounts of super soil over the internet.

i have always used regular multipurpose compost from a garden centre, chuck in some perlite and away i go ... this works fine for the first few weeks.

As i get further into my grow's i am stuggling to keep the fan leaves going as i am missing so many nutes and micro nutes, not to mention my PH being out most likely...

Pictured is the soil i'm using at the mo, could someone give me a list of essential things to add to a multipurpose compost to help keep the plants in a healthy stage right up to late bloom?

thanks in advance chaps!!

Here's what i mean, this happens with all of my grows. THey all finish with great bud still, but i'm sure this is slowing my flowering time down and could even be effecting my yeild and potency...

these are autoflowers i have at the moment

its very very normal for the leaves to yellow like that late in flowering dude. I would say you're buds and plants look good. That being said Some things I add: bat guano, composted chicken manure, worm castings, compost teas ie. comfrey, banana peels, fish emulsion tiny bit of lime and crushed oyster shells, COCO and perlite. ORGANICS, however you dont even want to be feeding it heavy nutes during flower. hope this helps.

hey WC, it is normal for them to die off eventually, just not this early. 1st set of fans fell off my easyryder (on the left) a good couple of weeks ago. The fans that are dieing now have brown blotches coming from the low-end of the leaf, she is pretty much halfway thru flower now, the smaller plant is behind a week or so.

when i see people growing in decent soil mix's they are keeping their leaves green till the end. this results in much better product.

i have some calmag on order which i think will help alot, also will look at grabbing a guano along with the ingrediants you mentioned , cheers bro.

Roots is not inert, not even close.
