Hi all, I just finished my first run in over 10 years last week. I was using roots organics original blend with their nutrients. I feel as if I did well with this last run especially for autos.

I did like the soil but mixing up nutrients is a huge pain in the ass. This time I decided to go with coast of maine stonington blend. I also grabbed a bag of their worm castings. I see that it's enough soil to feed throughout a run in a 15g pot but I will be using either 3 5g pots or 4 3gal pots due to space (2×4) restrictions.

I'm wanting to know if anyone has completed a run with this soil as the title implies? What else do you recommend too add to the soil too get me through to harvest?

I want to go truely organic this time around. The roots organics nutrients are organic by definition but are salty as all. Cannabis plants love salts but I feel as if there is way too much in that line of nutrients. I also feel like it's not truly organic & with all the salt I dont see how I could recycle the soil. The line did come with a few dry amendments but I did not use them as I didnt think they would brake down fast enough. I could be wrong, I have alot to learn but figured this would be a good place to start.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Havent used it.ive used their other stuff outdoors and I've noticed it runs a tad hot.that stonington blend is $35 a bag where I am.you should look into coots mix.same thing,probably better but way cheaper.

I've tried a lot of different soils and have recently been given a recipe by a member here.so far so good,and it's a bit more simple than coot's mix if you're interested

I paid 25 for the bag which was a few dollars cheaper than roots original. I was actually going to run the roots soil again but they did not have any at the shop I went too. I probably could have found roots at another shop but I had a 35 dollar credit there. I was told that it runs a bit hot, I figure it's the chicken shit in their mix that makes it pretty hot. Though I plan on starting my beans in worm castings. Thanks for the heads up on it being hot.

I really didnt think that the person who told me it was hot knew what they were really talking about, as I asked a few other questions but they had no clue.

I'm interested in the mix you're using. Send it over when you get a moment. Thanks a bunch..

Greetings! I realize this is an old post,but on the off-chance that you're still active in racing out to inquire about the recipe you mentioned. Any assistance is appreciated!
