Supersoil Run #1

I have decided my next run will be an attempt at a supersoil. I added quite a few pics, maybe I didn’t need to put them all up but I wanted to share the process I am using. I mixed all components and sealed in a large tote on 6/26. I tilled/ rotated the mix for the first week and then let it sit for about 3 weeks. I should have given the soil another week or so, but starting something outside in my neck of the woods this late in the year is risky…just my thoughts. I already had to scrap doing 4 more photos and have settled with running autos due to remaining growing season. This will be a test run for next year. I will list out what I used and quantities below. Once the soil cooled for 3 weeks I mixed lightly on last time and filled four 5-gallon pots to about 50%. I topped each off with straight coco and perlite mixture. By the time these autos are getting hungry their roots should be right into the good stuff! Supersoil recipe was an amalgamation of a few sources, including a little from subcool. Fingers crossed this works, if I did it right then I should only have to give a compost tea every 3-4 weeks and that’s it. Base ingredients: 1.
