I've mix a super soil
5parts peat moss
3parts perlite
2parts mushroom compost
3 cups of dolomite lime

= 25 gallons of soil

Organic food mix added
1 1/2 cups of blood meal
2 1/2 cups of bone meal
1 1/2 cups of kelp meal
1 1/2 cups of green sand

directions say to water mixture with liquid karma to keep mix wet for two weeks while stiring a couple times a week.

I'm going let it sit three weeks, but I'm not sure on the amount of Liquid Karma per gallon of water.

Need advise on adding the diamond nectar with Liquid Karma, and this super soil.

Thanks

why would you use liquid karma in the soil recipe rather than using it in your nute schedule?
i use botanicare pure blend pro grow/bloom, liquid karma, cal mag, and add in budswell during flowering.

i'd say 2tsp of karma per gal

Chumlie.... I'd hold off on the Liquid Karma.... you want the nutrients in your super soil to slowly mix / mellow. You want to avoid making too many of them too soluble (immediately available) to your plants.
.
I'd also read Subcool's thread in his sub form on Super Soil. His tips on planting into a buffer zone of soil, are very important to ensure success.
.
Low, Slow & Steady feeding is the goal......

Hope this helps.....
Keep it Real.....Organic....

I use the same recipe you use dude. it works awesome I can attest to that. the lqis to help the soil cook. It works. I used it to the letter and I ahve five healthy plants some in veg and some in flower better than anything I could do with a liquid fert recipe! I mean I am stunned, I have been everywhere braggin my ass off. I used ocean forest and aeration mix soil for the four plants and for one I have just started to use the peat. I can say that I am not so happy with the plants performance but it is not the mix's fault dont think. I transplanted and bam! nothing. IDK I use the same formula on lightwarrior at half str for seedlings and clones right out of beer cups and it works fine. IDK> I think that plant got transplant shock bad. As I sorta dropped the roots into my hand roughly. Weird, but some b1 picked it right up. I also added some peace of mind bulb mix as it is a good bonus.

I just mix the lq in to some water that I use to let it cook. I would do it. It porb helps. I never disagree with ohso, lol, good man, but it is just to help the bacteria develop better. Help that soil food web grow. ;) But as far as the plant is concerned I think that unless you way overdue it the plant will help itself to what it wants without worry.

Sometimes I just use water. Right now I am going to put some molasses into water and some lq and let it go. I like to experiment. :)

Well, Yes it does kick ass. My plants are doing swell on their second week in the soil. They were less than a foot tall (7") now they are 15" or 16" and bushy as hell. The stems were maybe a quater of an inch thick now they are over 3/4 of an inch. Now I might have to fert them when it comes flowering...I'll see. I got to be carefull they are all pretty girls.

This is SWEET!
