Howdy friends!
So as many of you know I have been around this site for quite a while and have been pretty much a hydro grower when it comes to indoor gardening. Well, it's time once again that I mix things up.
My curiosity has peaked many times about running a "Super Soil" type organic grow and it is time I take a stab at it.
I have chosen to run a product from a local company called Grean Bicycles. They have been around for many years and have a simple system with a good reputation.
Many may have noted that Patrick the owner of Grean Bicycles was working with Subcool on his charge packs before his tragic recent passing :(

On to more positive vibes - I have just picked up the Ocean Bounty and Happy Endings Tea product and have a few more things to gather and to get some clones ready to rock as well as rearrange my garden from hydro to a soil setup.
I will document my adventure here and it is going to be simple products only with no "Voodo" bullshit foo foo juice products.

Here are a few links to the Grean Bicycles company info and also be sure to check out the grow guide they have available. Even if you are an experienced grower it is one of the nicest and most concise reads I have seen for introducing someone to the growing process. :peace:

It may seem like a lot of work on the front end but think of the time savings not having to mix nutrients every time you water for the whole rest of the grow :peace:

Been away from the forums for a minute so it's time for an update.
Finally found LED's I am satisfied with and my space is running smooth and proper.
Lighting:
Veg - Bios Lii
Flower - Bios Endeavor 650 x 2
Can't recommend the Bios lights enough on quality and performance!

Running Roots 707 soil amended with Grean Bicycles Ocean Bounty with a little Activated EM-1 here and there and that is pretty much it.
Rooted clones go into 20oz cups for first few weeks, then into 3 gal for remainder of veg, drop them into squat 7's and move them into bloom.
That is to method going forward for the most part unless pheno hunting and using some smaller containers.

Varieties currently in the house:
Blue Dream (Santa Cruz cut)
Sweet Black Angel
Juice Box OG (South Bay Genetics)
Georgia Pie
Ringo's Gift CBD
Kush Mints
Grape
A few others in testing to see if they'll make the cut.

A few current photos:

What is your exact soil recipe if you dont mind me asking?

Thank you

It has kinda changed / evolved / simplified over time and based on what is easily available locally for base ingredients. It is 2024 and grow supply shops bit the dust like flies. My closest shop is now about 20 miles. I have a Home Depot just down the road and they carry Sunshine #4.
So currently it looks like this:
(1) 2.2cu ft compressed bale of Sunshine #4 (expands to something like 4 cu ft)
Half a 5 gallon Bucket of Perlite
Half a 5 gallon Bucket of course Vermilculite
9 1/2 Cups of Grean Bicycles Ocean Bounty
I water that mix with roughly 2 gallons of water containing 1oz of activated EM-1
That is it
This mix will take you to harvest on it's own. I am not mush into brewing teas but will sometimes give them a few feeds in Bloom with Nectar For the Gods products or even a occasional synthetic just as a bump.
I guess I forgot to mention the main reason for fine tuning the mix is that I am not recycling soil anymore so it needed to be relatively affordable and the footballs need to be light when dry after harvest so they don't cost a fortune to dump.
:peace:
