A Ready to use Organic Soil mix(just water will be needed)

I want to put a few plants for the first time since I was a teenager(over 40 years ago...lol)...Outside, to grow naturally in the Sun(The big HPS in the sky...:dance013:).

I am looking for a "No Fuss...No Muss" soil mix recipe. Something that I would only have to add water for the plants to be happy in all stages of life and growth and to also make it as simple a job as possible(KISS simple). I would like it to have all the nutrients needed in the soil mix, without any teas or salt solutions needed...If that's at all possible. I have been searching the net for a recipe, but all mixes I have found are basic soil mixes that need a tea or a salt solution to feed the plants, along with the ingredients in soil mix.

I just want some nice organics to smoke over the winter to balance out my Hydro grown meds.

I have enough work with the indoor crop I have and just want to run a hose out to keep them hydrated, until they are finished. If this is a impossible order, then a mix that only needs a tea now and then would be also acceptable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...I don't have the experience in organic soil, to mix my own soil without the chance of it burning the ladies. Or I would just throw some worm-castings, bone meal, seaweed and lime, etc., etc., together and not bother you all.

Thanks to everyone in advance,

Peace...B

for seedlings / early veg mix = happy frog or black gold with 20% perlite

pre water this mix and let it dry. Pre water it once more before planting germinated seeds or clones.

for mid veg through flower use 18 bags happy frog or 24 bags black gold with:

4 bags stutzman farms sup'r green chicken manure
4 cubic feet perlite
50lbs bone meal
20lbs gypsum
cook this mixture at least 3 weeks!!
this will accomplish exactly what you are looking for.

I reccomend a large pot.

Try fertilizer trenches. I've never tried them outdoors but they work perfect with earthboxes.

Near the perimeter of your soil mix dig 2"-4" deep trenches and put in a dry (organic) granulated or powdered fertilizer then cover back up with soil. I use 5-5-5 and a high p guano mix in my trenches to great results in a lightly organic soil that only gets plain water.

Feeder roots can choose which nutrients to absorb if given a chance and these trenches act as a buffet meal for the feeder roots.

This way all you need to do is water with pure water.

Good luck

Sorry for not answering sooner...I got tied up with family issues that were quite intense.

Thank you all for your replies and information...Greatly appreciated. I will be putting it to good use at the end of the month. Since most strains don't finish outside until middle to the end of Oct., I am planting late to avoid huge plants. I hope I am not wrong about the outside finish time, or I will get exactly as I posted. With one "Small" exception...lol...The word "Small" in the amount of Organic's to go with the Hydro Meds over the winter...:biggrin:.

If that is the case, I will just appreciate it all that much more.

Thank You All.
Peace...B
