UPDATE: SOIL MAKINGi added about 10-12 pounds of Brut worm castings to my coco/perlite blend that I rinsed a d buffered first..I used an old empty ice cream tub and measured out about 2 3/4 full of castings and added slowly to the medium mix and blended...
I intend to keep some of the mix as is and use for seedlings and/or small clones hopefully it's not too hot bc that Fix farms cal mag has nitrogen that was used to hydrate and buffer coco block...anyway.i will be adding further amendments soon to create my own take on a SUB COOL SUPER SOIL...

UPDATE: SUPER SOIL MIXED!!!
so I decided to go ahead and make my own spin on a super soil...
My base was a 10 pound coco coir block (rinsed and buffered with7ml per gal bushdr cal mag) I hydrated and I added about 30-40% perlite to the mix then I added about 10-15 pounds or half a 30lb bag of worm castings .
That is my seedling strength mix completed with just buffered coco coir/perlite and worm castings...
My "FULL $trength" super soil blend also includes
2 pounds or 5 cups DTE tomato herb garden
2.5 pounds or 9 cups DTE Bio alive
1.5 cups DTE garden gypsum
1 pound or 1.5 cups DTE seabird gauno

I mixed all together on tarp lightly saturated medium with low ppm de chlorinated PH 6.35 water then mixed well folded tarp put in bin to "cook" for 2 weeks or more....

New goodies for my gardening addiction...

JDwinell · Apr 23, 2023

UPDATE: FEEDING/WATER
I fed all big 3 girls @8:40 p.m tonite.. I split 1.5 gallon "pure" de chlorinated tap water between all 3 (roughly 7 cups..?)
I wasn't going to water/feed until 2mori morning but they were too dry to wait...
PPM=243
PH=6.4

UPDATE: so after noticing signs of possible burning on my smaller girls I've now identified on one of my big Sour og girls what I believe to be a "mobile" nitrogen defiency upon investigation... It's only the lower older leaves so it's pulling from them to support the newer upper growth I believe anyway..I may try topfeeding bloodmeal I'm gonna look into it ASAP anyway...

UPDATE: TOPFEED BIG 3 ONLY...
So I added 1 tablespoon a piece hi yield bloodmeal 12 0 0 dry amendment... I just measured out and sprinkled around in pot and lightly sprayed with sprayer...

JDwinell · Apr 25, 2023

UPDATE: TOPFEED lil 2 only..
I blended into top of soil 1 tbsp bloodmeal 12 0 0 per each of 2 plants and lightly misted with sprayer... I went ahead and added it now bc it can take weeks to make impact on plant I hear...

UPDATE: So I brought out another girl (sour og 2) and I also made a branch support for my broken branch on my autoflower... I want to harden them off a bit so I have outdoor option..I'm also building a greenhouse right now I intend to winterize and climate control it as much as possible within financial means..
