SuperSoil and Sun 2011

whats up RIU. I just finished up mixing my version of Vics's SuperSoil. This is my first grow. I will update with some pictures next week sometime. I plan to do 15 plants in 25 gallon holes and some Iranian Autoflowers in 5 gallon buckets of FFOF.
Only 4 out of 11 IAF seeds sprouted, i believe it was due to the rapid rooters? i usually get at least get 75-80% using soil. The strains that i will be doing are:

4 Dr Greenthumb IAF FEM
4 GreenHouse Super Lemon Haze FEM
2 9?)OG Kush CLONE
6 Nirvana Northern Lights FEM
1 Kanniba Power Skunk FEM
2 Gunk (local) Clone

Plants have been vegging in my SJ DR120 Tent under a 400w HPS w/BlockBuster A/C Hood. Fan is a 400 CFM Inline Centrifigal that is control by a home made thermostat controller.
Vary in age from 4 Months to 1 Month. Height from 3 ft to 6 inches.

SuperSoil (modified Vic's)

3 - 3.8 cu.ft. Bale ProMix HP
24 cups Epsoma Bone Meal
12 cups Epsoma Blood Meal
12 cups Epsoma Kelp Meal
4 cups Epsoma Epsom Salt
12 cups Dolmite Lime
90 lbs. Pure Worm Castings
2.2 lbs. Bloom Bat Guano

Base Soil - Promix HP/ Pure Worm Castings 1 bale:30 lbs WC

mixed throughly and wet down. it is setting uncovered outside in two water troughs outside in the sun (if this rain ever leaves). i will stir the mix over the next two weeks. I will dig 15 25 gallon or so holes and put 10 gallons of Super Soil in the bottom of the holes then a layer of base soil then the plant. I will back fill with the base soil mix.
what do you guys think?

I think thats going to be some fantastic results. I am also growing out the doctors IAF this season in 5 gallon buckets. I attempted to recreate FFOF by mixing pro mix worm castings lime and Marine cuisine which is a mix of dry fertilizer from foxfarm. The doctors seeds have excellent germination, if you havent tossed them I would dig the seeds that didnt germ out of the rapid rooters and check them out. If they haven't rotted from too much moisture they should still be viable. I've had close to 100 percent germ rate by putting seeds in between 2 moist paper towles, putting it inside a ziplock to maintain moisture and storing in a dark warm area. I mean those seeds are pricey man I would definately attempt a revival if I could. Just my 2 cents

sounds like a good mix to me! i havent made a soil myself, but im going to in the next week or so. still workin out the ingredients

I just wanna say that my super soil mix is lasting more than twice as long when I mix in Mykos, that shit really makes the soil last longer because they have more reach in the soil

ya my buddy had a lemon skunk that wasnt sprouting for over a week, then he just put it in a cup of soil, watered, and it popped right away

Just a heads up, I'm pretty sure Ocean Forest is organic and that the Marine Cuisine is not (which is why I didn't buy it myself). I don't remember what about it wasn't organic, but I was on an organic super soil quest and turned it down for some reason
