There are a variety of super-soil recipes floating around the web and passed between growers . However , the general idea behind creating your own super soil is to add enough quality amendments to a soil base to feed your plants throughout their lifecycle , and then compost the mixture for up to six months to a year before using it in your garden . This way , the soil and amendments have a chance to break down so the nutrients are readily available to your plants . The soil will feed your plants exactly what they need without you , the grower , having to worry about adding more nutrients or adjusting pH . Just add water .
Super soil can be used indoors or outdoors with excellent results and is completely organic . It is as close to nature as you can get in an indoor growroom and gives your bud a delicious flavor and smooth finish . It is important to note you should not plant seeds and seedlings directly into your super soil because it might burn them . Start your plants in a soilless or less nutrient-dense mix , and then transplant into the super soil once they are a few weeks old .
Step One : Mix Your Base
When building your super soil , you ’ ll need to start with a base soil . You can buy bags of organic potting soil or make your own . The ingredients and nutrient profile of your base mix will determine which amendments , and how much of them , you ’ ll need to add next . If you are making your own soil base , it may be worth getting it tested at a soil lab so that you know its exact nutrient profile and can choose your amendments accordingly . There are many different soil recipes out there , but a general rule of thumb is to mix one to two parts compost , one part coco coir or peat moss , and one part perlite . Make sure to mix this thoroughly . Tarps and kiddie pools make good containers for mixing soil . This combination gives you a fluffy , rich base to build upon . You ’ ll need to make enough base soil to account for roughly 20-40 percent of the finished product .
