Help I just realized that the person that picked up the amendments for my soil didn’t get exactly what i requested. I gave him the recipe for subcools super soil and he boofed me. I received (6) 2 c.u. ft bags of foxfarm happy frog soil, (1) 5lb box of DTE Bloodmeal, (1) 5lb box of kelp meal, (1) 5lb box of alfalfa meal, (1) 33lb bag of worm castings and (1) 3lb bag of happy frog bone meal with added microbes. Help from y’all that know subcools recipe or any other organic guru.
throw some bone meal in the mix
I got some on order,gonna have to top dress with it,
I compared your ingredients with the recipe for Subcool’s Super Soil on High Times’s website:
https://hightimes.com/news/subcools-super-soil-step-by-step/
It seems that you’d need more base soil (about 2 more bags), 2 lb more bone meal, and 5 lb bat guano. Keep in mind that the happy frog soil already contains a bit of bat guano, so I’m not sure if you’d need a full 5 lb extra, or if that’s taken into consideration with the original recipe. Those ingredients are a source of phosphorous, which is going to be needed in flowering, and which breaks down over a good couple of months from organic sources.
Have you started growing yet and you want to amend the soil for flowering? Or are you just mixing your recipe now and you’re trying to make up for missing amendments?
The reason why the distinction is important is that bone meal will take quite a while to break down. Therefore, if you are just mixing your soil now, you can still add bone meal so it will break down over a couple of months, and be ready for uptake during the flowering stage. If your plants are already going strong and about to flower, the organic way will take way too long to make the phosphorous available in time. If you’ve already started growing and you’re near flowering, you may want to consider other phosphorous sources.
im already growing in it,I mixed that with some left over soil from last season that i mixed peat moss with. I went to the forest and gathered soil from old pine growth stands,oak tree stand which was so black it stained my hands and had worms,soil from a gopher mound in the middle of a dried lake bed,black sand,crushed red cinder,crushed formicha,gyspum,basalt,river sand,deer droppings,cougar droppings,rabbit droppings and free range cow droppings and the roots of my last harvest hoping to colonize mykos from them(probably not but hey it sounds like it would work)also I took oak leaves and added it in. Now I couldnt figure out what I needed so I ended up buying Plant Growth Science starter pack bottle nutes and superthrive just to make up for whatever I was lacking on micro and macro wise..I use the nutes every 3rd watering
Sounds like you would have plenty in terms of organic growing. The liquid nutes should be more readily available so once you get to flower just keep an eye on your ladies and see if they need any phosphorous. Sounds like it would work though
