Thanks for the name inspiration for this one miss green dreamz. This is a pre emptive start for my next round because I was going to go the super soil route this time and not fool with the bottle any more. I've been reading about sub cools recipe along with others here on the site, thanks nameless and green dreamz! I'm starting this so I can get feedback on the recipe and tweak it as necessary. I'll be using roots organics soil, EWC, Napa DE, soft rock phosphate, and guanos since I already have them. I can't be too much more specific because I'm not exactly sure what the store has after these ingredients and I'll have a much better idea after I go there and buy some stuff. I know that this will be much like a home improvement project in that there is never just one trip to the store. I will be cooking the mixture for 3 or 4 weeks and I will be putting in the old soil from this grow as plants are harvested. I have some rubbermaid bins that I will use to cook the soil and turn it every so often. I will update later today with the items I was able to come across. I would love anybody to chime in with their opinions on how to improve. Thanks.

Yes.... please be sure to cook the soil and veg for a while in it.

Dispensary in the next town was all agog over supersoil.... bat shit tastes like shit though... and so did their meds. Not enough veg time and harvesting with soil that's still hot. Bleah!

Good luck and...

Stay Safe!

Dammit. Why do I feel like I'm late to the party?

Anyone have a lighter? Need to open this beer..

Went to the store and got dr. earth's soft rock phosphate and the kelp meal. Also got napa DE, EWC, alaskan humus, happy frog all purpose 5-5-5, and I have N and P guanos, roots organic potting soil 1.5 cubic feet, and a bag of coco coir around 2 cubic feet. I figured on flowering out 9 girls this time in at least 5 gallons and was trying to figure out increments to mix this stuff up at. At first the mix will probably be "hot" but I figured on adding in the used FFOF soil that has the girls finishing in it right now. Here's what I figured

1.5 cubic feet roots organics
2 cubic feet coco
.5 cubic feet alaskan humus
1 cubic foot EWC (minus a little saved for ACT's)
2 cups lime
2 cups DE
1.5 cups soft rock phosphate
1 cup N guano
3 cups P guano
2 cups kelp
2 cups happy frog all purpose
(Rest of the FFOF would be added as plants are chopped down - Bubblegum root ball is already in the mix now)

I figured with 9 girls @ 5 gallons I would mix up at least 50 gallons which is 7.77 cubic feet. Going to target to get some big ass rubbermaid bins and mix it up later tonight. Could I please get some feedback from ya'll on what you think? Thanks.

lol, was going to say add kelp. that is a good lookin mix right there boss...
also, once you start having to mix that much at a time, i feel kiddie pools are the way to go. might be hard to find them now though. stock up in the spring time, it usually takes me a year to destroy one...
make sure you are watering in some bennies and molasses every now and again at least. cant wait to see you rock this bad boy!

silver, ill trade you a heinekin for a sierra nevada...

I can see how a kiddie pool would be awesome but I wouldn't want one kicking around my apartment when I'm only going to use it one time before this lease is up probably. Don't see myself sticking around this side of town for another lease. Went to the store and got a 50 gallon rubbermaid storage bin though. Pretty perfect setup for what I need and it was also the biggest one that they had. I just didn't want to have to fool with two different medium sized tubs and end up with slightly different mixes somehow. As far as the mix that I came up with goes I pretty much took yours nameless and sized it to my needs while substituting the guanos. I would have sprung for some greensand too but it was like 19 or 20 bucks for the bag of it! As my buddy Ricky says, "Supply and command." How necessary is it for longterm K anyways? Should I suck it up and buy it or get it off the internet? The local store here is having a 20% off sale in a couple of days so should I suck it up and buy the greensand? In any case this is getting mixed up now and if anybody has anything to add then by all means drop some knowledge on my domepiece and I can mix it in later. Thanks.

Greensand not only gives long term K, but it's a great soil conditioner as well. You can get by without it, but if you can scrape the cash together, one box will last quite a while, greensand as well as other minerals have excellent long term results. Up to you, gl!

yeah i would try and get some, i get the big bag of espomas for about 26 i think... i dont really add it for K myself more of a soil conditioner like opt said and for all the minerals and clays and stuffs, im not a greensand wizard or anything but i think its pretty important. i would use it before DE or azomite or soft rock phosphate...
