I’m sooo sorry for your losses 
This has been another rough season for outdoor growers sadly. And my photos still have to get through our fall rains 
I do have a few questions if you have time to answer please. I went on the light side of mixing my super soil mix this year and I think that wasn’t such a good idea. I’m going to go full strength on the next mix and I’ll add gypsum also as I believe you’re going to do. Just curious if you’re adding or altering anything else using @garrigan62 recipe. My plan is to get my mix done in mid October and let it cook over the winter in barrels in unheated garage. What’s your advice & opinions?

@SmoknGranny here’s the recipe We’re using. mix this with 1 .5 cu ft of your base soil. be sure its mixed realy really well
After you mix your soil you need to keep it where it stays warm for all the goodies to do there job. It wont “cook” if its cold. And yes Im going to add gypsum to the mix. if you have mixed everything good all it needs is 30 to 45 days to be ready to plant in
Since im mixing 1.5 cuft of soil Im going to get some 20 gal grow bags so what I mix will fill half of the pot.

Thanks sweetie. I already have most of those ingredients 
My basement is heated so I guess I can store the mix in 5 gallon buckets.

what were you going to store it in?

I have a 55 gallon drum in the garage but it’s not heated. If I store in the basement I’ll use 5 gallon buckets with lids. I run my heat low but it should be in the 70-74 range in the basement over winter.

Lol, I thought so! When you mentioned the 20gal pots, I though you were trying to say that’s what you thought the cause was. I’m high, forgive me. Lol

How much gypsum would be added to this mix?

I’m reviewing my notes and I had used 3 cuft as my starter soil. Yep, that explains what I did wrong.
