Sohum living soil.

Has any one tried this.Can I just add water from Tap.let it sit for 24 hrs.Im gonna do auto flowers.Says everything I need is in the soil.seed to harvest.
 
Living soil works really well, better than bottles nutes.
Check out subcools super soil.
Literally just add water from start to finish, maybe a bloom tea/sucanat at day 30+45 but that's preference.
Subs super soil recipe makes a very large batch but if you want a break down I have it in both imperial and metric, down to 1/8th batch(1bag) just ask and I'll send it over

Mix ingredients together. Wet it slightly, transfer into bins and cook for 30 days in the sun or 60-90 days in cool conditions. When ready you should see a white web form over the top. This is the soil coming to life.
Mix again before using.

To use; fill pots up to 2/3 with super soil and the remaining 1/3 with light soil. Do not plant straight into super soil, it's too hot. The roots will find it.

Then just add water until the end. If you find plants yellowing earlier than you'd like, you can top dress with super soil and then increase super soil content in pot on next run

I was working on this with sub for the new website before he passed away, hope you find some use from it
 
How about growing auto flower.will the buds still end up nice.gonna use a 3000 watt led famurs light.it consumes 440 watts

Feed them compost tea 2 times per week and regularly water, also check the pic they make an autoflower version i believe the nutrients will deliver better and more importantly in time... if you get the other kind yes your plants will love it but autos will finish out long before they fully use the nutrients inside the regular super soil because the delivery is different... hooe this helps

Good point actually, without the extended veg time of photo plants, it may be a little redundant using super soil as the roots won't be throughout the soil, the nutrients are available straight away (if aged properly) but you ideally need to establish the plant first to use all the nutes in the pot.
However if you're ot bothered about all the nutes in the soil being used, then I'd say have at it

It tells you what to do with it on the bag, amend to the bottom of the pot fill the pot a 1/3 with potting soil mix thouroughly, fill pot with potting soil after last step, done... water till you cut it down... if i was you i would toss all 5lbs into a 7 gallon pot, fill half full the rest of the way with ur potting soil, mix mix mix, fill the last half of the pot with plain potting soil, plant your plant and water it good... dont over water almost everyone does, note the weight of your container after you water should be heavy and more solid, when its dry you can tell way lighter and smack the side of the pot with an open palm, you feel the hollowness inside the pot and how light it is, now is the appropriate time to water again. If you transplant do yourself a favor and get azomite powder sprinkle on top of soil every transplant its amazing for the little ladies and transplant shock... one more thing buy compost tea to brew or buy it already brewed and water your plant with it once a week and if you can foliar feed every day with it in veg, it does great things for the plants and keeps em nice and happy and healthy looking
