BBFan Not to be rude but what are you talking about???????????????????????????????????????????
Your response is absolutely no help and would kill all his seedlings...?? What help is that?? Have you read about Subs soil entirely???
No1 said to check with me or Sub.... I just stated the facts that
you must have missed....
Actually, I took your original comment as quite rude. The statements you made were incorrect. Supersoil is used throughout the grow, not just for mature flowering plants. Perhaps YOU should re-read the thread, and then take a look at
NVTHIS and
QMANS grow journals documenting the proper use of supersoil.
I would imagine most plants put directly into a supersoil mix would most likely burn- but where did I advocate doing any such thing???? I suggested he read the thread and see for himself whether he wanted to commit to it. Soooo, if done properly- filling the bottom of the pot with 30% or so supersoil and topping with a basic soil, so that the roots are not touching the ss at transplant, you will not burn your seedlings. That is the proper way to use a supersoil type mix. Incidentally, Subcool recommends not putting
seeds directly into supersoil (you stated seedlings).
The original poster, ganjah, asked:
need a potting soil recipe that would work well throughout the entire grow, so all i have to add is water.
He is looking for a soil he doesn't need to add nutes to- instead of offering advice, you told him about his lighting needs- that wasn't what he was asking. Then you told him to use a premade soil. What premade soil should he use that meets his objective of water only?
I have all the ingredients and have mixed up a small batch- so it can be done. I suggested however that he look at other options, like Roots Organics- problem is, he will still need to add nutrients to his medium so it is not the solution he was looking for.
If you would like to engage in discussion or question motive or methods, I will be more than happy to respond. You want source material, documentation, or photographic support, I can provide that. Simply stating my suggestion was a bad idea by making false claims is not productive. Educate yourself, experiment a little to get some experience, then ask me what
I must have missed.
Sorry for the rant in your thread ganjah. I hope you can find what you're looking for.
