I have FFOF mixed with EWC, BloodMeal, BoneMeal, KelpMeal, Bat Dung, Cow manure compost, some mycorrhiza, DolLime, Perlite. Do I need Epsom Salt? I use tap water. Gotta add some Azomite but the store was out. Watered and is cooking right now for a little over a week. Do I need Sunshine mix or something? How do I use this stuff when its ready? Do I fill the pots up all the way or just 30% on the bottom? I have my clones looking good but I dont want to burn them. I am growing them slowly to avoid tall plants and my other girls are a month into flower. This is my first attempt at supersoil. I didn't really follow any one recipe. I have my flowering girls in Happy Frog Soil and have been brewing teas for them every 3rd watering. Switching it all up this next time around just trying to learn as I go.

Thanks for the help,

ST

How do your plants look? This is the best info you can have !

I am going to guess 'no' on your question.
Some the ingredients sound good, but they have to be in proportions.

Supersoil is kinda a name taken by subcool's method. You should check out subcool's forum & stickies. He has a good soil recipe and directions on how to use.

I used Sincerely420's FFOF recipe (see sticky above). Soil needs to cook ~30 days after you mix it. Then I layered the soil in solo cups w/Light warrior for clones & young plants (approx 30% amended soil in bottom, rest LW). I used 100% amended soil with subsequent transplants.

Depending upon your mix, you may be fine!
My mix does not use blood, bone, cow. I do have some neem & crab meal. I use a tea ~once/week (kelp/molasses, fish/mol, compost/mol). I top dress with lime week 4, and harvest when it's done!
Good luck with your grow!

My plants look good to me. Ill add some pics. My clones are great. LST training em in their current pots which they are outgrowing. I just stripped all the fan leaves and cleaned her up. She seems happy. Gonna have to put in SS in a couple weeks when done cooking. I read all these soil mix threads and they are all a little diff so I just using my brain and trying to top chef my soil but not over do it on the additives. My philosophy is less is more, so I always put less than the recommended doses.
