Home depot...white and yellow bag in the outdoor section...they won't let me tell you that...but steer manure is special and you can buy it anywhere just look.
Villageidiot, thanks for your help and I think I'm going to give your system of 1/3 mixes of perlite, composted manure, and soil a run as I think it is simple. Couple of questions for you.I got some quality feedback. Some things are not clear which I will fix in the write up.
I started and still use complex super soil. When I first found this website I think the 3rd conversation I tried to start was "what's in your super soil".
There is a ton of things and if I list it all you stop because it is too hard. But if I tell you what it takes to get awesome plants with darn near nothing you will try it. If in fact I strip my recipe to what matters and make it simple you can take care of it.
I add tea every 2 weeks in bloom. Done deal. You can add fertilizers if you like...tea is fertilizer.
But on those components like peat moss. Which in fact these days I use peat plugs for clones, I need to explain better why I removed these things even from my blend.
I did experiments. I went to all the stores and bought everything and dosed it. Well not everything I did this a long time ago and I can only do so much.
Peat is great stuff but redundant in my mix and you need to deal with the pH. The later is realy irrelevant. But as a component, what peat does is what matters.
You can add it as an amendment or swap it out as a base component. You are in charge. You don't need to run a base of rocks, organic mater, compost. You can run just rocks as many run in perlite or just organic as many run in coco. You get to play with the soil mix.
You can play with things like peat or pre composted steer manure that have multiple complex aspects to them and swap it arround. Your compost portion is full of a complex array of things if you want to geek out.
But inevitably I would take components and play with them with the understanding of what that component can do to the mix...trying to see how much it mattered.
I was trying to remove stuff and push stuff and see what mattered. In a way it all matters. But no one ever talks about the most important thing.
Everyone wants to geek out and talk technical and they skip the most important fact. So none of this matters at all.
What everyone skips is this is a 4 month grow. Compost can't do it's thing right in 4 months. Period.
So until you have a steady compost medium method and can play with amendments and let them sit you are not doing it right.
I had bins of compost cooking up stuff.
It gets real confusing. Then you learn meh it's compost. What matters is the rocks and the organic medium because the fertilizers you can always compensate for.
So you play around and realize for a 4 month grow that is hyper fast and a few weeks maybe 8 at most in veg...do I need everything. Does it need to be super?
No... it has to last 4 months. Unless you recycle.
Now the conversation is starting to get layered because yes I both messed with compost and raw amendments and fertilizers. I worked myself out of using almost everything.
So I know it sounds stupid and too easy. But I went through and part by part one at a time...then back together figured it out. For example.
Do like I explaine and find the best for perlite is 35% and then fine that the best for your organic I 50-60%..80%(depends on other things). So then you change your base to this new ratio and try rerunning the same tests. Rinse and repeate. 2 experiments a week. In veg.
My bloom cloud handle 50 and I ran it closer to 43 and I could let things flourish that did well in veg if I wanted to see.
But for the most part in making soil the thing you changed exposes itself in veg...not all things but most.
And you can select the best and compost the rest.
Similar method for breeding. Many plants in veg and the best in bloom.
Peace.
