What Is Best Soil pH?

Ideally you would have a mulch layer, because you are correct if you are constantly taking out and not putting back you will have nutrient deficits. I take almost all of my defol leaves and make a mulch. I also have worms in my soil so they are constantly adding a source of nutrient.

But if you do it right you will have the right balance of life in your soil in terms of bacteria and fungi that will allow the soil to provide a canvas for cannabinoids and terpenes to express themselves more freely than a soilless grow. Like why does the Emerald Triangle produce superior product...the terroir/soil of old growth forest.
Local shop has some of their soil, might have to give it a grow, but, the soil I have now seems to be doing good and to start all over maturing soil. Am I over thinking it or just go for it...lol. #firstworldproblems

It turns out that a lot of people use him. I found him on a YouTube podcast "Future Cannabis Project" or something similar. I was intrigued when he was talking about elevated levels of Manganese. I kept trying to make posts about it on here, but got mocked more than anything lol.
I've watched a lot of FCP over the past couple of years. It can be hit or miss but some of the guests they have are spectacular. Scored some under the radar beans from thier fire charity auctions. Well under the radar for me anyway. I don't have any connections so I'm mostly limited to what's for sale through the traditional channels and some IG folks.

Recently, I found a soil shop in OKC that uses Bryant Mason to test their soil. I used their seed and clone mix and it went very well. It's the most impressed that I have been from bag soil. FoxFarm's LightWarrior has been a let down recently, so I stopped using it a few years ago...

Curious to know who that is

The next step is to hire a soil agronomist like Bryant Mason and have your stuff tested at Logan Labs. He gives soil recommendations in organic inputs. Its $140 for Mehlich 3, saturated paste, and recommendations. The test alone are $100 but my plants always look awesome after!
I was reading through this thread and came across this. I liked the guy it. It seems kinda wish it to me. I'm about to cook my first living soil and would love somebody to go over the soil test with me. You still recommending the guy a year later?
