I mixed up a large amount of super soil to last me for the year & put it in big plastic bins with the lid on. I turned it once after the first week of baking. Do I need to keep turning it every few weeks or is it ok to leave as is? I'm afraid of it going anaerobic

What's a decent soil probe? I've tried several from Amazon now & I've never had one that I believe worked properly. Even after adjusting the PH in my coco grow, the soil PH reading never once changed on me.

Ah, I didn't know this. Why is this the case? If I consistently fed it PH'd water, wouldn't the PH of the soil be affected? I know that, it might not be a good long term solution (having soil that properly buffers itself is better), but I figured that should work

This might be part of the problem, I kept it in veg for about 3 months now in the same 5-gallon filled with 2/3 FFOF + FFLW and 1/3 super soil (subcool's recipe). Maybe the microbes ate all of the amendments in the super soil? And yeah I don't believe it's a lockout. I even tried PH'd the water...

Ah the plant to the left definitely has some PH issues. I'm not seeing any of those Issues on this plant though. I'll definitely check the runoff next time though.

To be honest, I'm real new especially to organic growing. I've been reading a lot of people top dress with super soil, so I figured I'd try it out. I mixed in the super soil into the first inch of soil & watered it in. Since the super soil contains lots of amendments & has already started to...

Hi, I've been keeping this mother in veg for about 3 months now. She's in a 5-gallon fabric pot filled with 1/3 super soil (subcools recipe) & 2/3 FFOF + FFLW. She's been fairly healthy until 2 weeks ago where she started to show signs of a nitrogen deficiency (oldest leaves started to yellow)...

That's what I was thinking as well. From looking at your picture, I don't see any leaves that are dying off. How many do you get per week that die off?

Is it normal for a healthy mother to produce a few yellow leaves? I would assume the oldest leaves should eventually reach maturity & start dying off even if the plant isn't put into flower (natural cycle for leaves to start dying). Does anybody know if this is normal?

Nice! How long does it take for the Liquid fish to be available (assuming my soil microbes are active & healthy)?

Awesome, I'm going to try a wetting agent out!

I'm fairly new to growing cannabis, and I'm having trouble understanding how to water my plants. Many people say with super soil, you don't want to water until you get runoff, but even if I put 1/4 a gallon in my 5 gallon pot, I will IMMEDIATELY get run off. If I left that runoff sit, it will...

I'm seeing some phosphorous deficiencies in my soil, and I'm wondering what's the organic approach to fixing this? I know I can water in or top dress some amendments, but it would take a long time before that material is broken down & available. I've thought about making an AACT with some high...

I thought it might be a phosphorous deficiency. What's the best way to amend this organically without hurting the microbes? I've never tried an organic liquid nute like Earth Juice because I've been scared to kill the microbes. I'm worried if I just add some high phosphorous parent material &...

I have some Afghan in a 5 gallon with 1/3 super soil at the bottom (subcools recipe) & FFOF + FFLW on the top. My plant has been otherwise healthy so far, but is now starting to show some signs of rust. I've been feeding it half tap water & half RO water (tap water here is too heavy in...
