subs supersoil

yea moderation.....right? lol

Exactly! I mean, that's it for everything.

And I will make another shameless plug for everyone to make their own VC!!! If you're growing soil- it's the best thing possible. Much deeper relationship with the plant than any bottled fert could ever have. Save cash, hire worms...

my next purchase will be a wormbin, i showed my girl and shes like are you fuckin serious..i had a huge grin as she wasnt so pleased. but everyone should def make their own vermicompost!

thanx again for replying lads.i have peat in my potting compost that i used in my SS.theres humic/fulvic acid in that,is there not?

Green- that's funny!! This will not smell. Funny that way. I thought it would. And they stay put unless you force them to flee for their lives because they dried up. I never had one leave. You feed them your garbage. That's free. After that, you feed them more garbage. That's free, too. Then kelp, meals, mineral powders, pennies worth of each. And for your troubles? Lab proven, farmer-beleivin' best thing you could put on a plant. Best. And the cost? Aside from a little bin (guys make their own daily) just the pennies on the amendments. So almost free.

The best for just about free.

i may just make my own. been thinking about it for awhile now! depends how lazy i get lol

It's too easy! It's a lazy man's hobby.

And if you need it to stink to really P/O the GF, well, I dunno. I don't think we can do that...

nahhhhhhhh dont need the stink...lol

Adding liquid nutrients especially those high in P will quickly kill myco's. Also high levels of dry nutrients can alter the PH balance of the soil destroying bacteria.

Also when cooking soil such as SS it will kill any myco's they need to be added back in once soil is settled. But add only just prior with soluble type to initially introduce them to the soil then just before transplant sprinkle granular where the roots will come into contact. Myco will die out if they can not find roots plant life to bond with once activated.

Myco's are essential especially for getting much need phosphorous to the plant for big roots and fruits!

thanx DANKS,ive got my soil mixed and cooking for a week,it will be another 7 weeks before i need to use it,
so everything should be nicely cooked by then.I will add mycos into bottom of planting hole when i transplant.

The soil temps are not reaching thermophilic levels. The microbes don't get cooked. Actually during the 4-5 weeks the microbes are very much alive storing all the raw nutes. THat's why before 5 weeks it can be hot. The microbes aren't done yet.

i opened a tote of soil thats been chillin for like 2 months i think lol not sure how long but theres this layer of white yellow moss on top, should i mix it in or scrape it off? i need pics or it didnt happen? lol

No, that's good myco. What's it smell like? Is it moist or dry?

its moist with almost no smell, slightly mossy maybe mushroomy smell. i havent turned it yet, hoping no anaerobic action underneath. ill be pissed! ill get a pic up real quick, give me 5 min

Sounds perfect. So when you take a fistful and compress it, open your hand you should have a ball of soil. Touch / tap the ball and it crumbles. Just enough moisture to do that is perfect for this composting period.

stuck my hand to the bottom, no bad ammonia of mildew funk

... never saw that before... Did you pre-inoculate with some super-myco mix?

damn, was hoping youd say aw yea thats the shit! lol i cant remember if i threw in some great white, generally when i store soil i mix in great white and water lightly with piranha and tarantula and sensizyme, just moist not wet. i know im looking for a web but this was new lol, looks like white moss...

In the pics it looks like greed bread mold. Doesn't look like that, does it?

no doesnt smell like it either. it has a definite moss smell to it, im wondering if it has some light if it would be green instead of white lol
