Just a little early start as I was bored yesterday and figured I'd dig some holes. My plot area is 12 x 16 with a 6ft cieling limit. Gonna try to run 12 fifteen gallon Nursery pots in it and put out teens in the 4th week of May or the 1st of June in hopes to keep the sizes down. Considered strains at this point: Querkle, MediJuana (thanks JJ& Hodge), Afgahn landrace,super sour OG, Alien OG, Indica XXL, Spirtual punk, Hindu Kush, Tripple berry. I have so many Strains around right now so I'm not sure. Could just go all Medijuana !Digging in the 12 :

The hoop house I built cause the sun moved off my plot area for the winter.

Man only five months to go. :wall:
 
ohhh...aahhhh... hey.. Get some hints from DJJ on the proper use of bricks to raise that roof lol 6'??? I started last year 3nd week of July and trained down plants twice to keep under 6' ;) sub'd!
 
That's the fence height. Trust me, I know. LOL Last year I got tired of tying em down so I'd just come home from work and super crop the hell out them. :-(
 
LOL ! I got some blisters from that damn shovel. LOL Still have three holes to go.
 
thanks, but thats not sand. That's all the dirt that came out of the holes 15x12 =180 gallons of dirt. :shock:
 
Blisters! ouch. This is another one of the reasons I use smart pots.

Good luck bro, it will be worth it in the end

peace

Brewed this up today at a 6 bag ratio short of the azomite and Humic acid. They didn't have it. I still need to add 2 more pounds of Bat quano,I didn't pay attention to the box size. I'm gonna run 15 gal nursery pots with 5 gal of this stuff at the bottom and the same brand soil by it's self as a base soil on top. Whata ya think ? Am I missing anything else and how important is the missing Azomite and Humic acid.

SubCool's super soil 1/2 Batch:
4 bags Organic Base Soil
12.5-25 lbs. Worm Castings
2.5 lbs Fish Bone Meal ( I used regular bone meal)
2.5 lbs Bat Guano
2.5 lbs Blood Meal
3/8 cup (1/4 cup + 1/8 cup) Epsom Salts
1/2 cup Sweet (dolomite) Lime
1/4 cup Azomite
1 Tbs Powdered Humic Acid



The supplies:

The smaller pile is just 2 bags of soil and a half bag of worm castings I'm gonna transplant some clones to.

I'm kinda like a dog with a bone. Even if I used smart pots I'd still have to bury them. LOL I save two feet at least at ground level. Do you think gophers would eat into a smart pot ? :-o
 
Nice thread. And sweet greenhouse. I have a question. YOU say 12.5 to 25lb of worm castings? I'm waiting on a few things For SS and will be mixing. And going half batch of SS I have 6cu ft of Promix organic. How much casting should go in that? Full 25lb? Clones are heavy feeders.
And nice pics on mixing up soil I'm def gonna get a tarp.

You know that's the part I wasn't sure of and not having a scale how would one know when the bags are in litters. They are heavy for sure. One bag ways at least 25 or more pounds. I used a bag and a half.

That's the way it was written per half of Sub's Receipe.

I see you are using some Dr. Earth bat guano, I've been using their products for the last three years and swear by them.

Cool looks like that part is ok then.It was my only choice. How important was the humic acid and azomite though ? It didn't call for very much and I can't find it.
