Ok, so it's not the FFJ. I have ingredients for both, so no biggie.
Thanks for spending time answering questions, I feel like I've been asking too many of them lol.

I found PFA on Facebook and I hope that my wife gets interested. She is into kimchi and kombucha type stuff already. She is ready for me to make LABs so she can use it as a deodorizer and laundry booster. I'm hoping that she will help with the research and we can get up to speed. Thanks again!

No it's not ffj. I haven't made an ffj since I started doing the flower power ffe. From knf recipes i only make fpj and wcap.

We are using our regular names on facebook lol. It's probably a real horse breeder. I made my screen name when I was 19 and on a Mustang forum, I'm 36 now. I'm kind of embarrassed about my screen name now, but my Mustangs do have balls and scary to drive.

You misunderstood. My comment was "mustang stud farm?" Asking if who ever posted is you. On that same thread / post about minerals. The same thread where Jeremy Silva from bas said theres magnanese in kelp.

I was gifted a kiln and will be doing a bisque firing soon. The thing that struck me about your comment is I added aEM-1 to the clay I used as an experiment to see if it affected how the clay felt or what the affect was on a finishied piece. It is sold as an additive for brickmaking and is why I thought it reasonable to try, they are mostly planter piecesand will be unglazed. I have plenty of this clay and in fact will be doing some test firings before I put my pieces in @hyroot do you have any additional information or links that might be relavent here? The kiln is capable of 2250 F and I still have some wet clay I could add azomite or kelp or ??

I think that it is a coincidence. I don't remember talking to Jeremy Silva from BAS, unless it was prior to 2016. I'm not hating on BAS, I was just disappointed with their mixed soil. I was looking to order a pallet of pumice because it is impossible to find in OKC and Denver is only 700 miles away, so they have the best shipping rates for me. It also makes it cheaper if you have a trailer and pick it up from a freight loading dock instead of home delivered.
Anyways, I've been looking for pumice for the last couple of years and buying by the pallet is probably my best bet. Shipping is $160 but the final price is $325, so it's not too bad for this large of an order. I've been working with what I can find lately, perlite.

On the podcast with Alan Adkisson, he said that SIP is much like the "Hanging Gardens of Babylon". They used LABS in their rez also. I'm kicking myself because I recently invested in 8gal square pots. I might look into SIP after a couple of Harveys.

So when cooking super soil, after mixing, watering and puting in a barrel, I've read to keep mixing the soil every couple days as well as keeping it moist of coarse. But then I've also read that you dont want to mix it because the white fuzzy fungi that grows on top of the soil discontinues growth after you mix it.
Can someone enlighten me on this?
I have had that white fungi about every time I've mixed soil but it never comes back after mixing my soil.
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong and maybe shouldn't still be mixing the soil after the initial mix, out of the 4 or 5 batches of soil I've made atleast 2 went bad and wasn't sure why, I mixed the soil thoroughly every few days and kept it most. Now I'm a handful of days into a new batch of soil and just dont want it to go bad on me.
I appreciate anybody's input!

Are you following TGA's recipe? Most people on here are following Clackamas Coots, its the same idea but different inputs. I like Clackamas because he addresses the high P issues that I've been having.
It would be ideal to use fabric pots, but I haven't made it that far yet. Smart pots has 100gal+ containers and people use it for composting/EWC/Outdoor grows. Anyways, LABS should help with anaerobic bacteria.
You can achieve this with bokashi/grokashi, it has LABS in it already.
What makes you say that they went bad??? I mix barley with my soil and it smells something like puke on the beach, the crab and kelp give it the beach smell. It goes away after a while and the barley gets fuzzy. If you ever cooked with rye, you would recognize the smell.
I don't know if I helped you at all? Supersoil uses blood/bone meal and it does stink worse than amendments from the ocean. It was a lot harder to keep animals out of supersoil compared to Clackamas's recipe. The "Dead Animal" smell is common with blood meal and bone meal, time for a change... Maybe bokashi could help with the smell until then???

If your only interested in TGA's SuperSoil, he has a dedicated section in the organic section.

I've been reading that Biochar is more helpful to outdoor growers who are having trouble getting their organic matter higher than 10%. I think that indoor potting soil is somewhere in the 40-60% range organic matter. I'm sure that it is helpful, but not as helpful as it would be for an outdoor grow.

Are you making your own 'kashi? My question would be if you could use too much. I plan on topdressing my big worm bin with it because it has rabbit manure in it. I saw a video of Alan Adkisson(Grokashi founder) and he was setting up his "Earth Boxes" and he basically used Promix, Malibu cow manure, and grokashi. I've been avoiding using manure and this may be the key.. Sorry for rambling...
I can't think Hyroot enough for pointing me in the direction of Alan Adkisson, his theories are a game changer for me!!!
