4 Easy Steps to Super Soil
by Monica Mansfield
Creating a rich substrate for your cannabis plants takes a little work up front , but in the long run can provide you with a thriving garden that doesn ’ t need your constant attention .
There are two ways to feed your cannabis : feed your plants or build your soil . You can buy bottles of fertilizer with impressive labels that you mix up in a nutrient solution for your plants , or you can build up healthy soil that will feed your plants every single time you water . Both ways work , and there are pros and cons to each method . Bottled fertilizers can be expensive , and you usually end up investing in an entire line of nutrients that need to be purchased again and again . You have to take the time to measure and mix them properly every single time you feed so you have the correct PPM and pH . They are full of salts , so you ’ ll need to flush your plants on a regular basis . They do a great job , but they also create a lot more work throughout your garden ’ s life . When you build up your soil on the other hand , you put in the work up front to create a rich substrate that can sustain your plants through their entire lifecycle and then all you have to do is water . No mixing nutrients , no worrying about pH or PPM levels , and no flushing .
Super Soil
Probably the most well-known and effective soil for your cannabis plants first gained recognition in 2009 . It was back then that the late Subcool , a famous cannabis breeder , released his Super Soil recipe in an issue of High Times magazine . The recipe quickly took off with hobby growers . I had many customers at my hydroponics shop come in and show me their successes with his recipe . The results were undeniable .
