this a good soil mix ??

Subtool's soil mix is subpar. The Rev is in the same boat. Bunch of tools trying to make million on stoner science. Read the ROLS/no-till thread - at least the first part of it, and do some non-cannabis forum reading.

My 2¢,

we really, really, really, need to do one of two things, either take the damn supersoil sticky off, or add another one that is similar to coots.
Between you and me, and stow, and hyroot, and so many others... it's like three times a day where growers are either having problems with the supersoil or going about their own journey to adding every organic nutrient know to mankind. Wondering why their plants look like shit.
Not to mention I think we are sorta not doing our best to the cannabis growing community by not informing people of the health risks involved with slaughterhouse stuff.
ignorance isn't so bliss...
just sayin...
can kill ya... no joke.
and the best advice you gave there was simple, but sadly the majority of cannabis growers don't so, and that is simply growing more plants, not cannabis, understanding the nuances and symbiotic relationships between the soil and the plant, the microbes and the plant, even companion plants and their interaction..
It's fascinating to me, but I admit i'm sorta nerdy when it comes to growing things..
in my mind their are three types of growers, stoners, ca$h cropper$, and botany enthusiasts.
which do you think grows the best herb?
o_O
I mean hell, if you can get an orchid to flower over and over, growing herb is SIMPLE..
orchids are some temperamental plants...

I find neither one's soil as actually functioning for the long haul.....To much this, not enough of that......
I make a variation for my own use and rely on mainly my own teas.....

I listed this for someone to read on another thread. While I wanted them to read the TLO book. I listed it second and Teaming With Microbes first....I listed this site to make the OP pause and think about it....That don't work here enough..
I think it speaks for it's self.......

So who grows the best herb? Stoners, cash croppers, or botany enthusiasts?

umm, botany enthusiasts... If you were asking me seriously that is.. (:
 
Yes, it is in my opinion the best retort on "super soils" from the Rev. or Sub......I've seen!

Agreed on that....

I will not defend sub, but i have to say the Rev or Mike, as Dp calls him, is humble and very cool guy, he was hooking us up with seeds for free before he ever chose to start selling them (ie sustainable sharing) but his layering and spikes as well as feed game are not as simple as they could be, nor are their understandings, despite their prominent positions, anywhere near beyond the grasp as us, as a collective..organic Mastermind ..

But yeah read the Rols like Pat suggests and never stop reading.
If you read a bit everyday, as many subjects as time/attention span permits..your gains will start compounding..

And you'll start to see past all the foolery like all the real (silent) gurus
 
I owe a lot of credit for my journey in organic gardening from Sub's info. However, the whole stacking different soil mixes at different levels is unnecessary complication IMO for my personal taste. Everyone has a better soil mix than the next guy.

especially when you take into account two things
Number one, in nature the TOPSOIL is the one most loaded with nutrients
And
number two, um the roots on a freshly transplanted plant shoot down to the bottom within a week or so, everytime, it's why cannabis is so hardy, the root system is pretty strong on these plants.
