Yeah, botany of desire is a PBS documentary by michael pollen...he also wrote the omnivore's dilemma and food rules (both great books). The reason I used human emotions is because at one point Michael Pollen talks about how our language doesn't have words specifically for the emotions we personify plants with - reasons it with culture vs nature. There is another documentary called Dirt - the movie. One farmer explains how they rest a bed with a green manure that they let seed and die - as a content mother. Just highlighted to me again how we personify plants.

....or trees, how they nourish themselves from the shedding of their own leaves that decompose beneath them.......i love trees too.

MJ is an annual bro...only lives one season. (edit: woops, didn't read down the thread)

An experssion of death. Interesting mindset...

Many new growers have learnt that the weed they buy off the street needs to be flushed or it tastes worse...it's why I think that a lot of new growers bang on about having to flush marijuana or it doesn't taste good. These are the same people that think hydro is the only way to go. I just sigh when non-nerds tell me to flush and how they know how to grow dope ganja.

K.I.S.S (keep it simple stoner)….....Resisting the impulse.....


One of the most rewarding aspects of using super soil, besides the incredible dank it produces, is no more god damn bottles! The trepidation for a grower preparing himself to make the switch to a water only system is understandable. In this industry, we are constantly bombarded with the “more is better” mantra......and the commission driven sales reps in the grow shops don't make things any easier (another story, another time)......We are accustomed to leaving the shop with arm loads of different concoctions, one to do this, and two to do that.....and as the shopping cart gets heavy, our wallets get much, much lighter. But that wasn't the thing that bothered me the most, I never had a problem spending money on my hobbies, especially this one.....it was the utter confusion it caused.....isles and isles of shiny colorful bottles of shit that somehow, some way, if I were to use them just right, would enable me to produce the biggest, fattest, most potent buds ever grown in the history of man-kind!.....good luck newbie.


The main reason I wanted to write this, is because I see growers make the switch to super soil physically, but still hold on to the “more is still better” mentality. I know, it is a hard one to let go of.....trust me, I have just recently broke free myself.....if you analyze the thought process, it is kind of amusing really....”i am going to go water only for the first time with Sub's super soil recipe, but I am pretty sure if I add a little dash of this here, and a couple of dashes of this over here, and this expensive potion that the kid at the grow shop was the “fucking bomb”.....i will be able to grow even better meds then Sub himself!”....see what I mean....kind of silly.


Super soil is designed to take all the guess work and confusion out of the process of growing dank........it includes everything a plant will need through its entire life cycle. Imho, the line of diminishing returns is extremely fine! And in my experience, when I tried to add shit, my returns began to diminish immediately....my advice to growers switching over is to resist the impulse of adding anything. Run it “as is” for a few runs to at least establish a baseline before making any tweaks....... you will be pleasantly surprised by the results. It not only grows dank herb, but your wallet will be thicker, and you will be spending a lot less time in the grow shop, and much more time with your lovely ladies.....like my good buddy always says, “the best fertilizer is your own shadow”....truth!.


Happy Growing,

.......all right, that being said....you want to make supersoil work even better?.....get some organic sucanat (sugar), and feed them once at day 30 and 45 bloom.......at the rate of 2 Tbs/gal.

.......and imho, the very most important thing you can do.....brew up some bennie tea, empty out your base soil bags, wet the base soil down with the tea, put it in a trash can, and let it activate along side your super soil.....base soils can benifit HUGE with some bennie muscle too! Don't use raw base soil!......cook that shit!


p.s. my bro is the owner of a grow shop......he hates the fact i have switched myself and all my buddies over to super soil!.....he doesn't see us very often anymore.....or our wallets!
