Subcool's Super Soil Grow - What Teas and/or Watering Supplements?

I'm currently making Subcool's Super Soil for my next grow. I'm following his recipe VERY strictly.

Subcool says that his Super Soil recipe requires nothing except straight water for the entire grow (except maybe at the end of flowering). But from reading on this web site, I get the feeling that a lot of actual users of Subcool's Super Soil supplement waterings with specially made teas and molasses water.

So, what kind of teas and/or molasses water do you use with Subcool's Super Soil?

I'm really looking forward to this grow.

any kind of tea with phosphorous is gonna work just fine. I dont think you need it personally, but it doesn't hurt. just look up bat guano teas on youtube. or check out Komagrows channel and look up his beni brew for a nice very effective beneficial bacteria tea.

subcools soil has an ec of 4.1, SUPER STRONG stuff. You wont need anything but maybe some sugars near the end of your cycle. Im sure a couple supplements of an ewc and guano tea with some molasses wouldnt cause any harm. Trust me though brotha, my plants are LOVING the super soil, since ive transplanted theyve gotten a lot more vigorous.

So the thing you gotta know with subcools recipe is that its super strong and you only use it in the bottom 1/3 of your pot. Its not uncommon for your plants to exhibit a few phosphorus over dose issues either, but dont worry your plants will grow out of it and lots of phosphorus will help with root growth.
Start your plants in a soil mix of whatever and veg them accordingly. Then when its time to flower, cover the bottom 1/3 of a new pot with Subcools soil, then cover about an inch of the super soil with some soil that you used in your veg mix. Next step is to add some Great White or other microbial supplement, then put your new plant in and fill with your veg mix, BUT dont fill in the sides with the super soil or it may be too hot for your plant. Then veg for a week or two and begin your 12/12 ligh schedule.
Personally, I add kelp meal instead of high phosphorus bat guano (1 tbsp per gallon of soil), then add a little high Phosphorus bat guano to my bubbled tea around week 4 of flowering and had better results.
As far as your watering go:
Use a fish pump and bubble tap water for 24 hours, then add a little molassis, a little Great White, and a tbsp of Epsom salt (start adding epsom salt around week 3 of flowering) and some Canazyme or Hygrozyme, then let that mix bubble for another 24 hours before using. Then about 2 weeks before harvest, water with just plain tap water.
Thats will get you the results you want :)
Hope that helps.

Ok so I just mixed up a batch of his supersoil but I have a question. My Buddy actually gave me this recipe and directed me what to buy. Question is this, I got three 3.0 cubic of roots organic and two 1.0 bags of biobiz light. the rest of the recipe as follows 25-50 lbs. of organic worm castings 5 lbs. of Blood meal 12-0-0 5 lbs. Bat guano 0-5-0 5 lbs. Fish Bone Meal 3-16-0 ¾ cup Epsom salt 1 cup Sweet lime (Dolomite) ½ cup Azomite ( Trace element) 2 Tbs. powdered Humic acid. I looked up the recipe and the base soil read as follows "8 large bags of high quality organic potting soil with coco and Mycorrhizae"

I was told that the 3 3.0 bags of roots counted as 6 bags and of course the 2 1.0 bags of biobz would be 2 for a total of 8 bags.
Everywhere I read this recipe it just says 8 bags of soil but no mention of size to me this seems important if i was supposed to have 5 more 3.0 bags of roots then obviosly I have WAY to much in to little of soil.
I would appreciate anyone who can clear this up for me. Thanks

he uses 1.5 cu ft bags of roots soil. that means your total volume of base soil, not counting worm castings, should be 12 cu ft. your just 1 cu ft short of what you need.
