Hi. Going super soil. @garrigan62 Starting with Promix HP. PROMIX tells me the baseline pH is 5.8- 6.2. Got my earthworm castings, azomite, steamed fishbone meal, 2 different Bat guanos, perlite and Mykos. Are you familiar with BioAG products? Humics acids/Fulvic acids, etc. If not, i highly suggest you look. I got dome samples from them. They sent me, FUL- POWER, FUL-HUMIX and VAM. Cost me $10. Comes from Oregon.Its all about the roots, right? Can you let me know what your thoughts man? I’m a bit concerned about establishing proper pH. Thanks man. Anybody else got an opinion?
hop on in. This stuff has promise.

I use their Ful-Power Fulvic Acid (FYI - never high dose with this. Use the bottle recommendation) as well as TM-7 once monthly. High quality company with a great reputation in the agriculture industry.

Thanks man @BlackShirt saw something when i was just reading random forum posts. Saw a discussion. Called the company, in OR. They were real cool sent we some samples for $10. Building supersoil and trying this also @garrigan62 . Claims to cut the the amount of supplemental nutrienrmts needed. If you use nutrients to supplement your soil.

That is correct. My last two grows i watered only i used no nutrients at all. But now that i have dicovered a soil amendment which is very high in amnio acides and how these acides and micro and fungi work with the root system of the plant there really isn’t any need to add more nutrients to what’s in the soil all ready. I believe that thats why growers have so much trouble with their plants. Iike buildup of salts which keep the plant from uptaking nutrients.

Hey buddy. Im all over this stuff. How do YOU incorporate this stuff? Im a bit confused. Also, on a side note. My promix is going to be pH 5.8-6.2. I need to be careful with my soil additives.ie: bat guano, worm castings, steamed bone meal. Want my pH to be right on. Ive got 8 mini plant going now. 6 strains. 25 gal fabric bags. Please coach me here man. Got a month to get things ready to go. Any thoughts and or ideas will be appreciated. BTW, MRI of my left shoulder April 19. Hows yours doing,

Ya man. Just to refresh you. I got stuff from your dad’s farm stand in Rockland…many years ago, of course. We talked last fall. Right before your shoulder surgery. I did 31 years in interventional radiolody/cardiology and Cat Scan interventional radiography. Great job. Retired at 55. 7 years retired. Just to catch up. Hows your shoulder,?
My shoulder is doing great. and i’m real happy I got it done.

That’s the load man. I appreciate your wisdom. Glad you and your shoulder are good. Let me know my friend. Thanks as always.
Try the FulPower as a seed soak for 24 hours before planting (or whatever your germination procedure happens to be).
Doesn’t take much - 12 drops to 1 cup water

Ok, I hope you have a cement mixer … lol
I start mixing the flower soil first and that go’s in first. That will be all you ingredients with a low " N ": Then I mix up my vegg soil and top my pots.
Once you transplant for veg the plant will take root and take off. by the time she is going into flower her roots will be right where you’ll want them .

With all this effort at creating high quality soil…do you plan to reamend and reuse - or pitch and do it all again next time?
