Question regarding Super Soil recipe

Fox Farm Ocean Forest all day.. Can grow plants from the first 4-5 weeks off just PH balanced water, Which is pretty much most of the vegetative stage!

Right, but Subcool's "Super Soil" is said to be able to take the plant straight through both phases without any additive requirements.

Not that I'm trying to minimize the efficacy of FFOF, I'm just interested in making my own batch of "SUPER SOIL", and the idea of a maintenance-free growing medium.

Sounds just like some timed nutrients like guano and bone meal introduced in the soil before inducing flowering, Interesting.. Please lead me to more info if you find some.

Have you ever thought of using the Roots Organics soil? It's coco based, but gets composted for 24 months, so becomes more like regular soil. They kick it up a notch, tho, by adding all sorts of their own shit to it. My local store told me this stuff was the best, but to be careful-- plants that are not established enough will be burned, so get 'em vegged a little first, and then throw them in. If you're doing a longer veg it might be the way to go. . . Apparently it has enough to get them all the way through. I'm planning on using it in my current cycle, but have some time before I bust it out.

Sub's Super Soil is to be used in conjunction with a BASE soil for veg. Around two or three weeks prior to bloom is when i drop my gals in the super soil also with roots organic potting soil as my base soil....works fabulous and im outdoors in Montana bro...peace n love

Hi there! The idea of a "perfect soil" which requires only regular watering is incredible, and first of all I'd like to thank Subcool for the recipe (+rep, btw).

But I'm going to be doing things on a smaller scale - six to eight plants maximum. The recipe calls for 8 large bags of high quality organic potting soil with coco and Mycorrhizae, 25-50 lbs. of organic worm castings, 5 lbs. of Blood meal, etc. Seems a bit over the amount I need for such a small scale grow.

Would anyone be able to recalculate the ingredients to reflect using, say, two large bags of organic potting soil?

It's just that I don't want to get my math wrong (not my strongest suit) and so I thought I'd ask the community.

If you can, cool, if you can't, also cool. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks everyone!

1/3 Batch:
2.7 bags Organic Base Soil
8-16 lbs Worm Castings
1.7 lbs Fish Bone Meal
1.7 lbs Bat Guano

I certainly will! Thanks to everyone for their time and input!

Hey guys, I was looking into the whole subcool's package of super soil and just had a question much similar to what AgentZero was asking and that was how much exactly do you guys think of the ingredients I would need in order to grow only one plant as that is what I am trying to accomplish because I am a beginner and would like to know that exact amount if possible. If you can, thank you so much, and if you can't, I really appreciate you trying to help me. P.S.(I am also not good at using math to narrow down those figures lol)

Have a look at my spreadsheet at the below sig.
