IS THER SUCH THING AS "BETTER THAN SUPER SOIL"? I HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE PRE-BAGED SUPER SOIL FOR SOME TIME NOW AND ITS GREAT BUT I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMTHING BETTER SOOOO,,,,,,,IS THER SUCH THING AS BETTER THAN SUPER SOIL?,,,,IF SO LETS HEAR IT....
Oh, lord, yes! Pro-Mix, Coir, Sphagnum Peat, Perlite, Subcool's mix, 3 little birds, as many recipes as stars in the sky. But none as "easy" as the Super Soil. We hang Miracle Grow users 'round here!
Just depends on what you want, if you want easy, no mix, straight forward, potting soil, Super Soil will work. If you want to grow really impressive bud, you might want to look at other mediums. For example, if you want killer tasting bud, guano's and teas are the way to go. Yield and potency? Chemicals in perlite or coir, Foxfarm Nute regimen is killer, blows away my organic grows on yield, and if you'd never had guano grown weed, tastes great too. There are endless ways you can manipulate a grow medium to up your results.
If you want to do something different, you might first decide on a medium, say, peat moss and perlite, or coconut coir. For better results, roots need LOTS of air, and these mixes up that. I run 50/50 coir/perlite mix, very light and airy. Both are pretty inexpensive, and I buy coconut bricks from Burpees, cheaper than most hydro outlets. Once you have a medium, you have to feed it. You can buy bone meal, blood meal, lime, etc, at Lowes very cheap, bat guano's are going to cost more.
My first grow was peat(ProMix), guanos, earth worm castings, kelp, lime, water and molasses in 3 gal pots, veg to finish. Still one of the best grows I've ever done, and taste that will blow away an Cali hydro crap. Even my pot head buddies comment on how smooth my pot tastes.
Here's a link to some recipes you might enjoy trying:
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=53792 You can use a base mix, with no ferts, then water with teas. Or, you can make your own Super Mix. By the way, you can also reuse coir, I use it for up to 3 grows, just rinse it out, and add new nutes.
Hope this helps expand your horizons a bit. If you use a good mix one time, you'll never go back to Super Soil. Takes a bit of time, but the results are well worth it in yield, taste, and potency.
