For any organic beginner or experienced grower... This is where its at, nice and simple and very effective.
For anyone wanting to try some simple tried and true supersoil.... This is for you, it has grown some of my finest plants... If you do this in conjunction with a few guano kelp teas here and there you will never turn back.
Its called vicks supersoil. I believe Genuity has given this recipe a go with good results.
I added prices.
1 Bale sunshine mix #2 or promix (3.8 cu ft)~~~~~~~~~~~$36
8 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$8
4 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$18 for 8lb bag, you only use half... leftovers!
1 1/3 cups Epsom salts - magnesium source~~~~~~~~~~~~$3
3-4 cups dolomite lime -calcium source & pH buffering~~~~~$10
4 cups kelp meal.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$8
9kg (25 lbs) bag pure worm castings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$20 for 30lb add all 30lbs
- Mix thoroughly, moisten, and let sit 1-2 weeks before use.
Thats $103 for about 5 cubic feet of kick ass soil. This should last you a long time and you can re amend and reuse and it only gets better with time,,, so start soonand there are leftovers! I add some azomite but thats optional, 2 cups I guess. I also added 2tbl humic acid concentrate to the water wetting it down, also optional.
The tea is optional, but highly suggested even if its only a few times. Use the tea about once a week in flower if the plants need it. Heavy feeders will get more tea.
The ingredients will last you several grows.
Veg mix-1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
I hope some people copy this down, you wont regret it.
Edit: I haven't been using the liquid karma for a while,,, not completely necessary... but beneficial nonetheless.
- I also added a 1/2 teaspoon of 12% humate concentrate. Iv added this to large batches of tea for the garden (usually composted chicken manure, donkey manure, and finished compost.. A 600 gallon batch of full strength guano kelp tea would be a little pricey lol. But have never given the humate to the ladies, this should be good.
This is what they say about their product
Our Liquid Humate concentrate contains vital elements for healthy soil in an easy to apply liquid form. Extracted from the richest deposits of ancient lakebeds this material is essentially peat moss that has decomposed for at least one million years. It provides a wealth of valuable plant elements, holds water in the soil, feeds the living organisms in the soil, and releases locked-up nutrients for plant growth. Mix 1/8 tsp. per gallon of water for foliar feed and 1 tbsp. per gallon for soil applications
