Sub,I'm a big fan of the supersoil..been using it quite awhile. I've always grown from clones, but am looking for a strain recommendation to start from seed. ( so that I have KNOWN genetics.)
I'm a Parkinson's patient, so I look for a motivational effect...yield is not a big concern, I'm more interested in taste and effect.
I flower under 2, 600 watt in a 5x6 area, and employ bondage and super cropping to manage canopy height. 4 plants in flower at a time. Which of your strains might fit the bill? I do have co2, good heat control etc. I'm limited to 12 plants for my medical grow, 4 "rooting", 4 "vegging" and 4 in flower has kept a "perpetual grow" going pretty well..
Thanks!

Very right, It's just another marketing Gimmick.

Quick question, if your supposed to leave this soil outside for so long to blend and cook etc, how do you keep bugs from getting at it? Can you keep it in a large, closed rubber maid container or something? Because I plan to use it but also would like to use it indoors. Thanks.

................................ You can bake super soil inside or outside as long as its above 50 degrees. Just cover it up with a Tarp or a Lid ether way it should be fine

I use a 55 gallon garbage can and put the lid on
Sub, this will be my first post to roll-it-up. I have been growing for years. I am tired of using the bottled nutes. I am simply out to prove that your recipe is better than advanced nutrients entire master level program. I cant get over how people become so loyal to these high end nutrient companys because they have cool designs and pictures on the bottles. Most people think the more money they spend the better their pot is going to be. I know thats not true. I have done my reading here and I have all the supplies that you use, right down to the same exact brands and everything. The only question I have for you at this time is what is the most potent, piney smelling, piney flavor marijuana strain that you sell? Any suggestions to make my current marijuana strains more piney will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Going organic in soil is the best way to foster terpenoid development. So your heading in the right direction if you would like aroma and taste to be robust.
I'm sure there is a good strain and pheno out there for that. I know because we used to smoke it. We always called it Christmas bud because it smelled so much like them we assumed it was shipped down to us from nc with the christmas trees! Boy were we high
Good luck, Hopefully your buddies are some hydro growers
. Just ask them for some cuttings and grow them a sample of their own shit and see what they say

I made it through 9 pages before I hoped in truck and drove 250 miles round trip to one of them hot dam hydro stores. It was like being in a candy shop. An entire wall with Big 5 gallon containers of pretty in pink bud candy, and every other brand that is spoken of in here. Little bottles, big bottles, lights everywhere, tents, veggies growing, amazing.
I pulled out my subcool super soil buy list and went to roots first.
It was 38 bucks a bag.
When my old ass woke up I thought I had died and gone to heaven for just a second. Some fine chick was looking down at me, saying "are you all right?" I quickly realized I had passed out and these folks were in for a good old american law suit.
Then I remembered the clones in the truck and I told them to shove their roots where the sun dont shine.
Homey dont pay 40 bucks for a bag of F in roots no matter how much bat scat is in it.
So I came home and wrote a post asking subcool what I could buy instead of roots and earthworm stuff and biobzz and humis and all the other stuff. Then I got stoned and read a few more pages and I quickly realized I was about to make a big dummy of myself again if I hit send so I got stoned and erased it.
Then I fired up the old hamster wheel and I figured subcool would not mind if I played with his soil as long as I left his roots alone so here comes the good part.
I went to the homo deport and waltart and found perlite and bloody meal and boney meal. My friend has some dolomite and some greensand. I was gonna buy some supersoil (knockoff brand potting soil) and some peat moss. But they had a new product. Mel Bartolemews? garden time garden soil for sq ft gardening. Has all sorts of stuff from crushed oysters to worm feces, even some bat scat. Suppose to grow plants and veggies from seed to dinner plate. And it was only 12 bucks for a big ol bag. Some peat moss was 4 bucks and I was in the biz.
So instead of asking subcool what about this, what about that and hoping subcool would jump in his truck and drop some supersoil off I have decided to grow some bagseed in my new improved better then ever super cheapo soil. I am gonna mix up some stuff and grow me some medical cannibas.
Stand back and wish me luck. I have grown some mighty fine tomatos in my days and I have a lick or two of common sense and it is a weed, after all.
I wont let it cook in the hopes it wont kill everything I put in it and I will fill up a big bucket, drop a 30 day vegging dirtweed plant in it and see wjhat happens. And if the plant runs out of food, I will buy some bloom crap from the homodepot.
Bottom line, It may not be the best soil or cannabis but it will be dam good and will make you smily faced
By the way my dirtweed plants look mighty fine, but they have some purple stems so I am gonna hit them with some stinky 8 dollar a bottle alaska fish ferts while I am mixing up the soil.
Moral of the story
Theres no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid people asking questions.
Solve this crap yourself, it aint rocket science and if your mom wont grow it for you what the f are you gonna do? I just got here and I dont want anyone to chase subcool away.
I am new at this (doc said I was a good cantidate for MM) but I realize how sweet it is to have an actual breeder on site who has been growing weed longer then most here have been potty trained

Sub, I am in awe. You are all over the place and like you said no need to buy a grow book.
I reexamined my options and decided that only a fool would not follow your instructions.
So I made some phone calls and found roots for 24 with a 20% discount so its under 22 with uncle sams cut.
I have most of the ingrediants and I will have to make another trip. I am even gonna spring for some 7 gallon buckets even though I have dozens of 5 gallon buckets.
Then I believe I will get some plushberry and cheese quake beans.
It is really amazing that joe sixpack can get soil, beans and advive this easily from someone with your experiance.
Uber props and may good Karma follow you & yours
