For those of you mixing up your own organic soil I am about to jump on the bandwagon as well. Quick question though, I am going to follow the coots mix recipe and was wondering when they say 1cf of CSPM do they mean compressed? I have found some OMRI listed CSPM at a local greenhouse in 1cf bales but they said it fluffs out to 3 something cf. So am I supposed to follow the recipe with compressed or fluffed out? If fluffed out whats the best way to measure 1cf. Thanks and sorry for a newb question.

I use coots mix as well and have always used the compressed cspm your speaking of. Once you open the bag its in and mix it up with everything it fluffs up real nice. Never had a problem with it. I think 7.5 gals is around 1cubic foot. I just triple the recipe and use the entire bag though. Usually end up with around 70 gallons of soil all said and done. Best of luck :joint:

I sprouted two wolfpacks and they had a very strong skunky marijuana smell in veg. Too bad they were males.

Checked my two this morning and I ended up with 2 males as well. I knew I should've thrown down more than two seeds.


Off topic a bit but those of you with older seeds...what are some of the most effective methods used to increase the germ ratio. I've scuffed, soaked, and paper toweled seeds in the past but these days most of what I grow is fresh and they go straight to soil. I have jug of Ful-Power and I'm sure I've read somewhere that it can be used a "soak" but cant recall the details. TIA

How old are the seeds, upto ten years if they were stored in a cool place like a fridge, just put them in water and they should pop. Again this has to with good seed stock to start off with intitially.

Soakem in lightly carbonated water or in a mixture of one tsp of fulvic acid diluted in a litre of water

Some are Big Sur Holy Xs that have always been stored in the fridge, but I have some other that are 10+. I seemed to always have a reason for not germinating them like, room not dialed in, moving soon, another room to dial in, no time and so on. Many just kept getting pushed to the back of the line so to speak while I wait for the "perfect" environment. It isn't just gardening I do this with...its can be anything. Funny, bc I don't remember ever being this apprehensive or OCDish in my younger days. I mean, the risk is there with fresh seeds too.
I dunno, I'm just rambling and thinking out loud while I rip through this dry sift of Goji.

And to stay on topic, I just pulled the last 4 Goji from my garden. I like it (its kinda fruity) but wont run the other pack for awhile. I'm on the hunt for another coffee/bubba leaner in other strains.

Anybody have experience with the Apollo 11

I have run and am on my 2nd run of Bodhi Apollo 11 F4 Open Pollination.

Quick, pineapple cheesy fruit mostly, good yields on most with dense nice nugs.

Great up daytime smoke so far with no paranoia. I like it a lot but don't know if I have room to keep it around at the moment or not. I did make F5 of it and crossed it to a few other females from Bodhi as well to keep it going!

The ratios in that recipe refer to hydrated peat. I've seen great results with that mix. I've also noticed that some people who follow this recipe rigidly end up with actively composting soil if they use a very strong compost. just remember that the peat will break down over time. so if you have a hot compost blend you might want to make sure your mix isn't too heavy on organic components that will continue to break down over time.

personally, I like to use whatever organic resources are available cheaply and/or locally. I'd recommend any tweaks to the recipe that allow you to take maximum advantage of your local growing environment.

I grow in native clay soil, amended with perlite, worm castings, a little bit of chicken compost, seaweed, neem meal, and oyster shell flower. I feed the soil by mulching/top dressing with lemon balm and sage. sometimes I add a little bit of worm castings to break down the leaf material in the mulch. I occasionally top dress lightly with a dusting of seaweed or neem. I grow outdoor in raised beds and smart pots. my outdoor plants were strong, stable, and low maintenance, with no issues even late into a rainy harvest. really excellent outdoor medicine.
I'm now using the same soil in my indoor grow with good results.
