UK super soil
Remisisstarted grow question 4y ago
Hi everyone.
Does anybody in the UK have a recipe to create a super soil? Most of the information I've seen is from American growers and the ingredients are hard to source here.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Sorry—- usa here. But the keys are microbes and feeding them. Not a huge fan of living soil as it is very hot! I like charging up regular soil with mycorrhizae and microbes—- that’s living enough 😂

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.Plant. Other

Maintaining the soil pHI give pH'ed water, never more than 800ppm and I still always end up with lockouts. I used to not give water untill runoff but now I do. What to do after testing the runoff? It's currently at 6.0 even after a flush with 7.2. Ask many questions I need to know what I'm doing wrong.Other. General questions
