After a good deal of problems with my first grow, Subcool's super soil recipe is looking really good about now. I just had a few questions about it.
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 12-0-0
5 lbs. Bat guano 0-5-0
5 lbs. Fish Bone Meal 3-16-0
¾ cup Epsom salt
1 cup Sweet lime (Dolomite)
½ cup Azomite ( Trace element)
2 Tbs. powdered Humic acid
*** If using an RO system add in 1/2 cup powdered Cal/mag
The recipe quantities is for huge for what I'l be doing. I grow under one 1000 watt HID, in 5gal grow bags, planning to do 6 plants under the light. So If the bottom half of each finishing pot should be super soil, should I be aiming to make a total 15 gal of the mix? If I have extra left over, could it possibly still be good for the next crop about 3 months later?
Also in the recipe he says to bake it in the sun for 30 days before using. I can let it sit no problem but it's the middle of a very cold and snowy winter here, how important is the baking part? I could keep it on the side of plants under the HID if that would work.
Ok last question for the organic potting mix soil, what size bag is he referring to? I'm guessing the 1.5cu ft but might as well ask
Thank you for any answers, I love finding out more about growing this beautiful plant, just with everything new I learn I end up with 5 more questions.
