All set and lights come on in a hour.Now I just need nematodes,I can probably just add those when I put a plant in.
So who here is growing in true organic living soil?

Found where to get my nematodes,they're out right now but they usually have them in stock for $20 they said.
Well worth the 30 mile drive to save the 2 day shipping charge when you buy them direct.

I guess my soil is getting to a point where this is a good idea... Rrog, this place was real f*@#ed up when we got here, pesticide-riddled, dead dead soil. Been working on the rehab for about 5 years :/ I've been harvesting my microbes from the mountains close to us, not taking any soil out (it's a world heritage site) but using the 'buried rice' method instead, along with my most healthy horse-compost heap. Not too keen on disturbing the compost too much for a while though...
OK so I am doing another soil cook and adding some of my garden soil like you suggest
Put a little faith in myself here, guess it's time for that!

Capt, I also use Super Plant Tonic from BMO, in a mix of generic peat moss, compost, worm castings, and left over hydro peebles (on the bottom of my pots). I'm interested in using some Bio-Char in my next crop. I hear it not only gives the micro life a place to hang and populate, but is a 1st class source of carbon, which boosts life in the root zone, and strenthens the plants themselves. The SPT is easy to come by, where do you guys find the Bio-Char ?

I got a bag of natural hardwood lump charcoal from Kroger. It's just pieces of scrap hardwood put through the bio-char process for your barbecue. You can buy bio-char for the garden online but I thought it was pricey,the lump charcoal is quite messy to break down but cheap.

Thanks Captainmorgan, There's a Kroger a few blocks from where I live. I'll check there first. I hate to pay shipping on anything I can pick up locally.

Dose root organics count I'm a dirt bagger rip the bag open put the clone in grow it right in the bag. I love it and no one will ever get me to change. Add some bennies when I'm finished the soil is a solid mushroom culture. On top of that I use a.n. an not the organic stuff. You just have to watch the ppm so you don't kill your mushroom s.

Left my local supplier a few hours ago, he also owns a coop and grows, hes using soil , however he adds nuets to it.
Guy tried to tell me i should use his soil and add nutes instead of using the super soil i have made up already.
Between him and the guys on the other thread who only recommend one led light im starting to stress.
Ive got about 30 plants started and none are going to be the same size when i go into bloom aaaarrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh

Your supersoil is fine. No worries. And you can add to it and make it better. Even fewer worries.
You can make better soil than your local supplier GUAR AN TEED
You can start saving huge $$ for the best soil this side of Nirvana.
Don't stress brother! You've come to the right place!

Guys... My A/b comparison of the Dream Beaver in dtw hydro v/s living soil is at a point where I can comment: Living soil same growth rate if not a tad faster. Here's the kicker though... First leaves are already twice the size and a deeper green in the soil. Soil babies were germinated ten days after dtw... Got a feeling they will be overtaking their sisters really soon. Mind. BLOWN. Hydro faster? Who came up with that myth and how on earth is it still perpetuating? The difference is obvious. Pics tomorrow along with measurements. Can't wait for the yield comparison. Got a feeling soil yield is going to be MUCH higher. Hell yessssss. Loving this.

Yeah I've got my ebb n flow pretty jacked, to the point where nothing ever faded and I literally have roots caking the root-mat by week 6 in an SoG, Hydroton substrate, Lucas Formula... All the time and additives, if taken away, already evens out even a 20 percent drop pretty much. Best part of this Living Soil is: I get more time with my family, and my garden too. If the soil is cooked right, it really is a breeze. All the work is in the study beforehand, diligence while learning about it will pay off in SPADES over time I feel.
I've reached the point of not only being totally converted, but I am spreading the word. I'm feeling really EXCITED with this. It truly is EPIC.
