I Did a lot of reading and researching super soils and how they are made before I decided to
actually make some . Then I thought to myself I should document the whole process from start
to finish with pictures and Notes.
This way any other growers who are interested can have a basic idea of where to start.
Firstly it's worth noting that Super soil needs a fairly long list of ingrediants to make
and some of them can be hard to obtain where I live in a rural area.
Luckily for me and other Australian growers there is a great Aussie company who put together
the complete ingrediants in kit form to activate your Super Soil.
This company is DrGreenthumbs. www.drgreenthumbs.com.au
I purchased the large 4.5 kg kit which when added and mixed with the other ingrediants will make
up to between 270-300 litres of Super soil. Because I cannot explain it better , here is what
the DrGreenthumbs site says about their kits and Super soil in general
"Our Super Soil nutrient kits are everything your valuable plants need!
The ultimate soil recipe from start to finish, we've taken the guess work out of
creating Australia's best Super Soil! Perfectly crafted and made in Australia,
using 100% Aussie sourced ingredients."
So To use this kit and make 300 litres I obviously need to also add other ingrediants
and because i cannot get peat or decent coco, I am using 150L of Compost 50L Perlite
40L Clay Balls 40L Fresh worm castings + the 4.5kg Kit Some Zeolite Nutrient uptake
and soil conditioner and 1kg of Garden Lime. This will all be very well wixed and
Covered.
After initially mixing your Super Soil you will need to let it rest for 1-3 months.
This is to help facilitate the breakdown of nutrients in your soil
and unlock them for your plants.
You can either simply leave your soil under a tarp out of the rain, or use a plastic
tub/bin. You don't want your soil drying out during this time, but you don't want it wet either.
Evenly moist is perfect. Turn your soil once every week regardless of the method you use to
cook your soil.
I Now have everything ready and tomorrow the 10th of August 2019
The mixing be done so I should be able to use this soil in November which is also when the
traditional planting time for vegetables and obviously cannabis in my region occurs.
I also purchased one of the Mycorrhizal Inoculant packs to use when it's time for planting.
Here is what Dr Greenthumbs says about this product.
"Mycorrhizae are fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of vascular plants.
As the fungus colonizes the host plants root system it shares vital nutrients and minerals
with the host plant from the surrounding soil. The plant will have increased ability to
uptake fixed nutrients and water thus increasing overall yield and outputs, with fewer
inputs required."Use 1 teaspoon per plant at initial planting time and 1/2 teaspoon every month.
Or use 5g per 1 meter squared."
So this first weeks entry is all about the preparation and actual mixing and curing of the super soil mix then we'll jump forward aprox 3 months and I'll start a grow.

Aproximately 3 months have now passed and the super soil mix should be thoroughly cured by now although I will need to put a few inches of ordinary potting style
mix on the top of the Pot the plant will be growing in. This is to act as a buffer between the young roots and the very rich super soil below.
Although I will have multiple grows happening using this Soil mix, For this Particular Diary and Guide I'll be documenting the growth of a Seedsman strain called Peyote Wifi.
This strain was only released this year and sounds awesome , here's what Seedsman has to say about this strain.......
"Peyote WiFi is the result of crossing the strain WiFi (The White x Fire OG) with Peyote Purple, the colourful Bubba Kush pheno. The indica dominance is reflected in its structure as it grows into a plant of medium size with broad, typically indica, leaves. This is a big-yielding plant with high THC levels and copious amounts of resin. Indoor growers are advised to veg. these plants for 15 - 25 days before the switch to the flowering lighting schedule with harvests being ready about 75 days later. Yields are expected to be in the range 500 - 650 gr/m2. Outdoors it needs a long growing season although cultivators in higher latitudes can benefit from a greenhouse environment. Yields outdoors can reach up to 1500 gr/m2. Sour lemon and diesel scents are complemented by an earthy flavour with diesel notes. THC production is impressive being between 20% - 26% with CBD measuring less than 1%. The effect is strong and very physically relaxing."
So the seed was soaked overnight in water with a tiny drop of humic acid , next day it was then transferred into a damp piece of paper towel and then inside a
ziplock type sealed bag for another day.
Once the taproot was well and truly exposed I then gently transferred into her final posistion. Now I've read conflicting reports of the negatives of putting a baby plant into large containers etc etc but I didn't want to overly handle this plant so decided to go straight in cutting out any transplant stress later on.
When doing it this way it is a good idea to water the outside edges of the big pot rather than just where the plant is in the centre. This is to encourage the roots
to expand out in search of moisture. The faster the roots can develop the faster the plant can grow.

First weeks over and look how quickly she's taking to the soil!! Ive only given plain water and she seems as happy as a pig in shit.
This plant will need to grow over a fairly long summer before flowering so this is where the super soil mix should shine. Once flowering completely begins I will
more than likely need to add some form of P+K to help supplement the soil.
Spring has finally sprung here and I'm enjoying the warmer weather after a cold and wet winter, and I'm sure the Garden loves it too.
You can almost feel the overall sigh of relief thruout my yard at the moment 😃

This plant is a real little pocket rocket and looks like it could be a bit of a handful come stretch time in a few months time. Concentrating on this week tho
the soils ph seems to be pretty stable at 6.5 when tested with my bluelab soil ph probe. This is a pretty handy bit of equipment that will also tell you the soils temperature.
I innoculated with the Mycorrhizal kit as instructed on the packaging next week I'll give the soil some help by feeding some seaweed solution mixed with mollasses and worm castings. This will provide a boost for both the plant via the roots and also benefit the millions of tiny microbes that live within the soil.
Simply mixing and using the super soil as is will still work fine however by keeping the soil in perfect health as well as the Plant itself will pay dividends come harvest time.
As usual please like if you enjoyed the read Thanks 👍

Well its Now November and we are well into spring here now although we still have fairly cold nights so Ive been using a plastic tree guard to protect the plant from
the cold. Last week I mentioned the use of natural ingrediants to supplement and energise your super soil.
Heres a small list of the things I use and believe are of benefit to my grow.
First up is the castings created from my Worm farm. These super rich castings are sorted thru for any missed worms then I put around 1kg's worth in a large tup
and fill with water. Also added into this mix is a 100mls of Seaweed concentrated solution and 4 tablespoons of Blackstrap Mollasses which I pre dissolved in a small amount of hot water. Mix it all up well and then in goes an air tube from an aquarium air pump , I don't use an air stone in this mix as it tends to get very clogged up and loses it efficiency
so I just weigh the air tube down with something heavy enough to keep it on the bottom of the tub and let the bubbles do their work.
I let this bubble along like that for 3 days and then I strain it all off and use it immediately or within 24 hours as leaving it longer depletes the amount of living microbes
and beneficial organisms within the tea so fresh is best. The left over sludge from straining the tea can be added back into any compost or even your vegie garden if you have one. The finished strained product can be either watered in thru the soil with a watering can or during veg it can be applied using a foliar sprayer.

Another week has passed by and as you can see the plant responded well to the worm tea I mentioned making last week.
I'm also assuming the roots have now well and truly reached down into the nutrient rich super soil which should be thriving with microactivity by now .
It can pay to plan ahead now for when the plant gets bigger and will need support. With this in mind I am going to use a premade wire Tomato type cage that is 1.5m high.
This will hopefully provide enough support for the plants frame when it goes into Flower Next year.
Planning ahead can sometimes help prevent potential issues from effecting your grow. Some things to think about and plan ahead for are as I mentioned
Plant stability and support when it gets bigger
Potassium and phosphorus boosting during mid to late flowering - ie sulphate of potash , Guano , Mollasses , Blood and bone Meal just to name a few.
Security- Dirty Dogs that like to Rip others off or even worse the Police . Maybe think about camoflague or concealment ideas etc
Pest Control- keep some natural insecticides or deterrents handy at all times and be proactive don't wait until problems occur before acting.
Well thats just a few things to keep in mind and plan ahead for. Thanks for looking in and please like if you have enjoyed the read. 👍

Six weeks in and she is really taking off now . Just in time too as I have got the Tomato cage in place and is good strong frame for the plant to grow on.
I've been only needing to water every two days as the weathers been fairly mild so far this month. If you look at the pics above you'll see the one of the Fan leaf .
Thats a pretty decent sized leaf!! 😀 👍 The soil seems to be doing well and keeping the plant extremely Healthy. Cheers for looking in Please like my Diary if you

Major growth explosion this week!! Almost a Meter tall now and looking Vey healthy. This is a testament to just how powerful this soil mix is when used with
an F1 Hybrid strain like Seedsman's Peyote Wifi.
I believe what we are witnessing is a case of a perfect symbiosis between plant and medium as well as the Hybrid vigor of a brand new strain.
I am excited as to just how much I may be able to pull from such a plant?? It will all come down to how well I can keep her satisfied on all fronts thruout the
entirety of the Grow. To be honest I would be stoked and very pleased if I could manage a pound from one plant so that will be my Goal from Now and we'll see how
close I can Get. Thanks for looking in again and please hit like if you like 😀

A very warm week saw the Plant absolutely go Nuts!! Planning ahead still I decided to dig a big hole aprox 1.5 meters by 80cm and to a depth of about 4 foot .
Took a few hours of digging and shovelling but the end result with the plant lowered down into it makes it worth my effort and Back pain that will follow 😏
By doing this I have created amuch cooler Root zone by having the pot well below surface level But Ive also knocked 4 feet off the overall plants profile which will aid me in my
other concerns being Security. Another thing I did was I topped her , simply because I was pretty happy with the height and will try to keep it as contained as possible as
I'm sure it'll have a Mad stretch just before flowering so that'll be interesting. I have another batch of worm tea on the go and will feed that with some Azospirillum concentrate

Welcome back , another week's passed us by and the Peyote Wifi Plant growing in my super soil has now reached 140cm in height .
I got up quite early this morning to capture these pictures before it got too hot as it's forecast to reach 38 celcius here today with two days of 40 and a 39 to follow.
I took two cuttings from the lower part of the plant and Ive got them in my cloning box in an attempt to get them to grow roots and I'll be using them in an attempt to make
feminised Wifi seeds. I'll simply force the clones to produce feminised pollen by using a sodium thiosulfate solution to reverse the sex of the clones.
I will then collect the pollen before eventually pollinating a few of the lowest buds on both of the High level girls. This way If it works as planned I'll then have a good
supply of seeds containing the Peyote Wifi genetics for future grows.
As far as Feeding goes the soil seems to be providing ample nutrition to the plant so it'll just be water with a little Mycorrhizal powder mixed in for good measure.
I have been checking the ph of the soil twice a week and it seems to be happy to sit at 6.5 without any need of adjustment.
Thankyou for Checking out my lastest update See you Next Week. 👍

Whew!! That was a Hot Week just past. Several days in a row of around 40 degrees followed by 38 and 39 degrees.
Today however is Overcast and much cooler with about a 60% chance of rain later on. The Wifi plant hasn't seemed to mind the hot weather in fact she grew another inch or three. During summer and high temps it's beneficial for your outdoor grown plants to be given some Seaweed or Kelp solution. There is something in it that is fantastic for stress relief in all plants. It can be used at any time of the day and growth stage of the plant and is simply watered in or applied with a foliar sprayer.
I also added to the soil 1 smalll scoop of Great White Mycorrhizal powder and Azospirillum. These are root innoculants that will keep the plants root zone healthy and happy.
all thats needed is to thoroughly water it into the soil and your good to grow.
I used my Bluelab soil ph probe to measure the soils ph which seems to be pretty stable at 6.5 so all good there not much else to report for now
so I shall sign off for this week. Thankyou for checking in on my Diary update and because i wont be updating until after Christmas day I'd like to wish all of you a very
Merry Christmas. Grey Wolf 19th December 2019

Hi Everyone I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas I know I did 😀 The Peyote Wifi growing in my Super soil mix is getting fairly big now and still has a long way to go.
Where I'm based at the moment the days won't be short enough to induce flowering until February!! That means atleast another 6 or 7 weeks of veg still to go then 10 weeks of flowering. 😲 I have ordered the Blooming supplement from Dr Greenthumbs that is reccomended for Heavy flowering plants like cannabis.
Although the super soil should still have plenty of available nutrients by the time flowering starts it's reccomended that you add the blooming supplement which gives a
rapid boost of P & K to the girls right when they need them. However I wont be needing the booster for awhile yet so in the meantime I'll make up a brew consisting
of fresh worm castings from my worm farm and Black strap mollasses. This will bubble for 3 days and then be fed to my plants along with 1 scoop of Great white Mycorrhizal
powder per plant. Remember if you treat your soil as a living organism then it will remain in top condition and pass on it's health to your growing crop.
Thankyou For looking in on this weeks update please leave a like and I will be back next Year 😄 👊

Happy New Everyone 😀 🙏🙏
I have now got all of my Photoperiod Girls under a Greenhouse. Its only an elcheapo from Ebay but I reinforced it with a heap of good old Gaffer tape and Zipties.
I also ran guide ropes to the ground at the corners for Protection against heavy winds so hopefully it'll stay put.
The Wifi Plant just keeps growing and growing and will soon need some type of branch support and I'm thinking of using some of those plant yo yo's.
The white residue you can see on the leaves is Diatomaceous earth. I mixed some into the worm/mollasses tea just before I sprayed my plants with it.
It acts as a bug deterrent and can't hurt the plant in any way. I also mix some into the worm tea that I feed straight to the soil as Diatomaceous Earth is a fantastic source of Silica which we all know is extremely beneficial to your Plants Health.
As Far as my super soil is concerned , so far I have not needed to feed the plants any fertilisers as the soil is providing everything the plant needs.
All ive been adding is biodynamic food for the soil itself to keep everything under the surface happy and well nourished.
Once flowering begins next month I will need to add an organic Booster to the soil that will replace any depleted resources.
Because I only feed water throughout the grow there is no need for any final flush I can simply Harvest when it's ready and dry/cure etc.
Thankyou for reading this weeks update 2nd January 2020 👍

Seedsmans Peyote Wifi in My super soil Diary update 9th Jan 2020
This Diary has aproximately reached it's Half way mark and with another 13 or so weeks still to go, I thought it's a great time to do a complete maintenence check of
both my soil and the plant itself. as far as the plant goes I trimmed off a few older yellowed leaves and I have added some plant "yo-yo's" as a support for the long branches this plant has. For the soil Ive given a good dose of "root roids" (see above pic) and a nice drink of seaweed solution. Awhile back I ordered some of Dr Greenthumbs High tea
which is a special blended compost based tea that invigorates and feeds the soils microbiology (see above pic) plus I also ordered a nice big packet of Dr Greenthumbs Bloom
Boosting mix that when added to my soil will replace any depleted nutrients as well as provide ample nutition to Flowering Plants. This product I'll add to the soil in a couple weeks but the High tea , I'll brew and use this week.
You see whilst my soil should still have a lot of nutrients in it that are available for the plant , it's been growing in there for 13 weeks now and If I want the plant to
continue thriving it's in My best interests to replace or "boost" the available nutrients prior to the Stretch. This is when the plant will use up a lot of any available nitrogen
as it prepares to Flower.
Cheers once again for checkng out my lastest update . I'll be back Next week with another. 👍👊

Super Soil Guide Peyote Wifi from Seedsman seeds
wow can't believe it's been 15 weeks since I started this plant . Ive been busy brewing up the High tea and I fed about 15 litres of the diluted (5:1 water/tea ratio) Tea
to her over a two day period and she lapped it up and has regained her vigor again.
I know ive mentioned it previously in this diary but I can't stress how Important the condition of your soil is in ,is to your plants overall health.
Ive seen lots of grows (mine included) where the Grower only takes notice of the plant itself and ignores the soil until issues appear via the leaves on the plant
ie nutrient deficiencies , Root problems ,disease etc . By being Proactive with your soil as well as your plant you can potentially eliminate or alleviate any problems before they can effect the plant. Things like the use of Mycorrhizae will attack any bad pathogens within the soil and root system.
Using seaweed/kelp on a regular basis helps the plant during times of stress or High temps as well as being a NATURAL PGR .
Mollasses can be used to provide Carbs to your plants roots and the girls love it!! So in a nutshell ,, if you look after your soil it will look after your plants 😃

Super Soil Guide Seedsmans Peyote wifi 23rd jan 2020
We have some weird shit happening in our country lately , Bushfires Everywhere , droughts in areas that are usually pretty wet , cyclones hanging around off the coast for ages
etc etc and another weird thing is that my Photoperiod strains are starting to show signs of flowering atleast 2-3 weeks earlier than usual. This is not only my plants either
as i chat with a few growers around the country online and it seems a lot of them are experiencing the same thing. Personally i'm fuckin stoked as this means my Girls
should theoretically finish earlier thus missing the worst of the late April weather we have here , which is usually damp and overcast.
So basically Ive had to move my schedule forward as far as this super soil goes. I'll now need to immediately apply the Dr Greenthumbs Bud and Bloom amendment
Plus I'll add some Mycorrhizae powder (great white) and a kilo of fresh worm castings per plant. This should provide immediate access to a myriad of nutrients , minerals
etc for my girls to uptake and utilise. Things are getting very exciting for me now that I can see the end is in sight.
To apply the above mentioned supplements I will simply sprinkle the Great white and the Bud n bloom over the soil , then I'll place the worm castings over that and gently dig it into the top couple of inches of soil , being careful not to damage any roots. Then it's just a matter of watering it in well and thats it. Too Easy 💪
I also have some Comfrey growing that I will make a tea with and feed to the girls in about 3 weeks when it's fermented enough. Thanks to the happy seed co for that valuable bit of info 🙏
Thanks for checking out this weeks update , I will be back next week so let the Flowering Begin......................................👊👊👊

Peyote Wifi Super soil diary update 30th Jan 2020
Guess what peoples ... My Peyote Wifi is in Bloom Baby!!! Only took 4 months to get here 😁 We have rain forecast here for the next few days so whilst it's cooler I thought
it an excellent time to allow my soil to dry a little. So whilst the rain is hanging around I won't water the plant at all.
Last week I dosed the soil up with the Dr greenthumbs Bud n bloom which should allow immediate access to the P&K this Girls gonna want from now on until harvest.
During the flowering period big plants like this can use up any available nutrients quite quickly so I'll need to reapply the bud n bloom again in about 4 weeks time.
I have been looking at the other Peyote Wifi diaries here on growdiaries and If mine end up looking anything like those buds I will be one very happy Customer.
Some of them look like straight up Fire.
Ph Check up with the bluelab soil probe showed the soil to be at 6.5 and stable.
Thankyou for Reading this latest Update and I shall be back next week. 👍👊👍

Super Soil Diary With Seedsmans Peyote Wifi 2nd week of flowering 6th Feb 2020
Fark it was pretty bloody hot yesterday and it's 9am today and it is already well into the 30's and forecast to reach 39 or 40 again today. 😩 Thank fluck for aircon hey!!
the poor old plants in the greenhouse aren't as lucky so I put a big ass fan in there that runs all day blowing the hot air out of the greenhouse plus it keeps any bugs and stuff from being able to settle on the leaves. After my foliar spray mishap from last weekend ( see high level diary) I was worried this plant would slow right down but it seems to be still on track and budding up nicely. I checked the ph of the soil and it was still well within the optimum range , sprayed any residue from the leaves with distilled water
and I gave it some seaweed mix for stress relief . I have a large batch of fresh worm castings that are ready to be used on my plants so once it cools down I will get into that job .the worm castings once applied should provide a bit of a boost for the girls as it contains so many enriching ingrediants and vitamins etc. I won't make tea with this lot
I will simply add a half kilo or so to each pot and water it in well.
Cheers for stopping by once again

Super soil Diary update 13th Feb 2020
We have had some very hot weather over the last few days and because the inside of the greenhouse gets fairly warm I was watering this girl twice per day , once in the morning and again in the late afternoon. But Now the fan leaves are yellowing at a fairly rapid pace I am wondering why??? Maybe I have been overwatering?? There are a few other possible reasons for this and I will need to check every one of them to find the cause of this.
It could be PH related although the soils ph reads 6.3 and 6.4
at the two spots I tested.
It could be Nitrogen deficient so I may need to feed her.
could also be P&K deficient so the same applies as above.
My plan of attack is to let her dry almost completely, Then give a light feed with some NPK ph'd to 6.5 and give some Mycorrhizae for the roots health. If the plant continues to yellow after this then I will be stumped as to what else could be causing the yellowing. If anyone who reads this update has any advice for me regarding the yellowing Feel free to drop a comment below as I would appreciate any advice

Super soil Diary update 20th Feb 2020
So another week bites the dust and it's time to update again. I let the soil dry out within the pot for three days because it had been cooler
and I was concerned that I had been overwatering. When I did give her a drink it was 10Lof Rainwater mixed with some Mollasses and ph'd to 6.5.
I also gave her some epsom salts and I also finally got around to doing the worm warm, so All of my Photo strain girls got aprox half a kilo of fresh worm castings each.
I have some more "high tea" bubbling away (see above video) that will be given to the plants later this week. After all that the soil should be very happy and hopefully this will pass onto the Wifi in the form of fat buds. Remember keep your soil happy and your plants will be happy too.

Super soil update 28th Feb 2020
*It's been well over a week since we have seen any real sunlight here and the plant is showing it.
The lack of sunlight, as well as what ever is causing the constant Leaf yellowing is definately
going to effect the final Yield. The Quality however is definately showing itself, with every single bud covered in visible frosty looking trichomes.
The smell is really really Funky with undertones of spices. So even tho I'll probably only get around half of what I was hoping for ,
the bud that I do get will be straight up fire. 👌
*The cause of the constant yellowing and eventual dying off of the plants fan leaves has me stumped.
I did some testing with the ph soil probe all around the surface of the pot (probe into soil 2 inches) and in a couple of random deeper spots ( aprox 5 inches)
and the average ph was 6.6
Average soil temp was 22c
RH can spike as high as 80-90% but average is 60%
Inside greenhouse temps are on average slightly higher than outside so I will say that it can get up to 28-30c during the day and as low as 13 overnight.
*At first I thought I had been perhaps overwatering
but after letting the soil dry out a bit and recommencing a normal watering schedule The problem
still remains. So now I'm wondering could I have been unwittingly underfeeding her all of this time ( since start of flowering)I could have been? but I would of thought the other plants in the same soil would be showing the same issue. Perhaps it's simply as others have suggested and is just the plant getting old (20+ weeks) All I know is that if it
continues the way It's going I'll have next to no foliage left other than the buds themselves and their sugar leaves.
Which is why I know my final yield will suffer.
*I gave her a good feed today consisting of Some half strength organic Grow nutrients plus liquid potassium .
Some of my blended minerals and trace elements plus Mollasses, seaweed solution and Mycorrhizal Powder. I know it's already too late for the yellow leaves,
but hopefully the plant can find some renewed vigor when the sun finally decides to show up again. 😃
Thanks once again Everyone for reading my Update Throw out a like if you want and I'll see ya's back here Next Week.
👍

Making and Using Your Own super soil Update
6th March 2020
With six weeks of flowering completed , I feel I am getting close to the pointy end of this grow.
Apon inspection the buds are absolutely drenched in trichomes that are already clouded in colour.
Despite my natural adversion to defoliation I chose to remove all of the lowest branches that had next to no leaves on them at all.
I also pulled off the dead and dried fan leaves that were all over the plant but left anything still with green on it.
If the buds are going to put on any real weight it is between now and the next two weeks that they will do so. This means I will need to keep the soil fully loaded with
everything the plant and it's root system can get . In order to do that I will add more Dr Greenthumbs Bud n Bloom in small amounts each week
I will collect more Fresh worm castings and add them to the soil. Plus I have a fresh batch of my mix of Fulvic Humic and Amino acids that will be added to the
Super Dynamic Tea I am concocting . This will be a mixture of "High Tea" which is a concentrated compost tea . Mollasses , Seaweed solution , Comfrey Tea 5L that was brewed
for the past 4 weeks . This will all be mixed together and Diluted to a suitable EC Level . If the ph is too high or too low I will adjust accordingly with the use of Ph up or Down.
The pictures Ive posted for this week I took last night in an attempt to show off the Frostiness of these Buds. If anyone has any Camera setting tips for me regarding Dark period Flash photography of Buds etc please leave them in the comments section below 😀 that would be a great help .
Once again I would like to thank you all for reading this weeks update Please leave a like if you liked it and I'll be back again next Week 👍 Stay safe Everyone

How to make and Use your Own Supersoil
7 Weeks of Flowering Completed
Friday the 13th of March 2020
Look out for Black cats and Jason Vorhees Because it's Black Friday 👻💀👻
I hope everybody is keeping themselves healthy and safe during the recent Corona virus issue.
I am staying at home as much as possible so as not to expose myself to the risk of Contracting it.
When Forrest Gump (tom Hanks) gets it the whole world seems to react 😆
Now For the weekly update.
Despite all of my efforts to get this plant to fatten up she has resisted and is now pushing herself towards the finish line at a fast pace.
The buds have matured quite a bit over this last week , with all Trichomes Now very clouded and I'm just waiting on the Amber ones
to start showing up in numbers now before I do the final chop.
Aprox one more week I reckon should do it. The Buds although very delicate and light, look very Frosty and Delectable.
As for the super soil it is absolutely chock full of nutritional value so I will use it to Grow a fine crop of Broad beans this coming Winter.
The growing of Legumes in the soil will actually benefit the soils health in many ways including making the nitrogen within the soil more readily available.
To grow the beans I'll simply spread the soil into 3 mounded rows pop in the broad bean seeds and water only once until the beans sprout.
The soil itself will take care of everything other than the required staking of the plants. 👍
****Back to this grow and the Peyote wifi will now only recieve Water and a small amount of mollasses until I Harvest in another weeks time.
Well that is about it For this weeks update Folks and Once again I'd like to thank you all for reading my updates and Please leave a like if you Like &
I'll
See you all Next week Take care and Happy Grows and Great smokes 👍👍

How To Make and Use Organic Super Soil
Seedsman Seeds Peyote Wifi Harvest
Well here we are at the conclusion to many months of planning and preparation plus another 23 weeks of Growing.
I Did a lot of reading and researching super soils and how they are made before I decided to actually make some . Then I thought to myself I should document the whole process from start to finish in diary form.
This way any other growers who are interested can have a basic idea of where to start.
and the likely conditions they may face.
All of this began way back in August of 2019
when I first mixed the super soil mix (which can be found by looking at week one)
aproximately Three months after that I started
this grow and 23 weeks later Here we are at the end. Along the way I described the methods I was using to keep the soil fully active and
productive at all times. Plus also some of my pre planning tips for flowering time.
For example in week four....
I innoculated with the Mycorrhizal kit as instructed on the packaging next week I'll give the soil some help by feeding some seaweed solution mixed with mollasses and worm castings. This will provide a boost for both the plant via the roots and also benefit the millions of tiny microbes that live within the soil.
Simply mixing and using the super soil as is will still work fine however by keeping the soil in perfect health as well as the Plant itself will pay dividends come harvest time.
Week Six....
It can pay to plan ahead now for when the plant gets bigger and will need support. With this in mind I am going to use a premade wire Tomato type cage that is 1.5m high.
This will hopefully provide enough support for the plants frame when it goes into Flower Next year.
Planning ahead can sometimes help prevent potential issues from effecting your grow. Some things to think about and plan ahead for are as I mentioned Plant stability and support when it gets bigger.
Week nine.....
Planning ahead still I decided to dig a big hole aprox 1.5 meters by 80cm and to a depth of about 4 foot .
Took a few hours of digging and shovelling but the end result with the plant lowered down into it makes it worth my effort and Back pain that will follow 😏
By doing this I have created a much cooler Root zone by having the pot well below surface level But Ive also knocked 4 feet off the overall plants profile which will aid me in my
other concerns being Security.
Week thirteen....
Diamotaceous Earth acts as a bug deterrent and can't hurt the plant in any way. I also mix some into the worm tea that I feed straight to the soil as Diatomaceous Earth is a fantastic source of Silica which we all know is extremely beneficial to your Plants Health.
As Far as my super soil is concerned , so far I have not needed to feed the plants any fertilisers as the soil is providing everything the plant needs.
All ive been adding is biodynamic food for the soil itself to keep everything under the surface happy and well nourished.
Once flowering begins next month I will need to add an organic Booster to the soil that will replace any depleted resources.
***** But not everything went smoothly in fact I did the most damage to the plant in
Week 17 I decided to be stupid and spray all my girls with potassium bicarbonate thinking it would "mold proof" my plants WRONG all
did was burn the absolute shit out of the leaves.
From then on it was a constant struggle to get this girl to produce anything because along with the foliar burning I also had to contend with next to no sunshine for many days at a
time plus the constant leaf dropping no doubt
reduced my potential yield.
****** Not everything was Doom and gloom either in fact by Week twenty one....
The Quality however is definately showing itself, with every single bud covered in visible frosty looking trichomes.
The smell is really really Funky with undertones of spices. So even tho I'll probably only get around half of what I was hoping for ,the bud that I do get will be straight up fire. 👌
In the Final week before I chopped ....
The Buds although very delicate and light, look very Frosty and Delectable.
As for the super soil it is absolutely chock full of nutritional value so I will use it to Grow a fine crop of Broad beans this coming Winter. The growing of Legumes in the soil will actually benefit the soils health in many ways including making the nitrogen within the soil more readily available.
**** On the 18th of March 2020 I chopped her
down and hung the plant upside down in the
greenhouse overnight. Next day I removed all
the buds and stripped them off the branches.
The buds then went into a hanging drying rack
until adequately Dried for the trimming.
After the first trim the buds went into paper
bags for more drying time (aprox 3-5 days depending on temp rh weather etc) They then got a bit more of a trim and went into the Jars for Curing.
I have had quite a few bongs of this already
and I must say it is Really good hey!!
So in Conclusion I hope that this Diary may help somebody who may be interested in growing
organically with soil outdoors or indoors
as well as provide an insight into how the
use of all natural ingrediants can produce
Good buds. Whilst this particular plant didn't get Big buds the Quality was outstanding and
you only need to check out some of the other
plants I have growing in the same soil mix
as to the validity of of its Fertility.
Now we come to the End of this Grow I'd like to thank a few growers who offered advice and/or support along the way @ROM101
@Med_in_Tropic @F4m0u5 @Shooey @MagicMan
@Spinnnn Thanks guys I appreciate it
Also thankyou you for reading this Diary
and please leave a like at the end if you
liked it
Cheers Grey_Wolf
Post harvest notes ; its now the 1st of May and the Broad beans and Peas that I planted in the super soil are doing very nicely this will not only provide me and my family
quality organic food for our table but also the growing of legumes helps fix nitrogen to the soil and keeps it living and healthy for the next time I need it for canna 👍💪 Best way to be folks
self sustainable and recycling your soil mixes will help reduce our footprint on the planet and save us money too 👍
So what are you waiting for Grab some basic organic ingrediants and make yourself some Organic super soil 👍👌
##### Final update for this diary 31st May 2020
It's been just over 2 months since I harvested this Peyote Wifi plant and the buds have been curing for that time .
Today I chose a bud to test and I am blown away by the perplexity of the high and taste profile , Bloody amazing 👍#######
Thats it folks All over now after 3 months of making the soil then another 24 weeks of growing the plant and then another 2 months of curing to get to here 31st May 2020
It was a great fun grow and I hope I have inspired some of you to try making your own batch of Organic super soil 👍
