advice on soil

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by gogarty1, Mar 31, 2016.

  1. Hi guys after a bit of advice, I'm 5 days in to my first plant it has sprouted. I'm using bat special soil, is there anything else I need to be adding to it? All opinions welcome, thanks
     
  2. I add Neem cake to my soil to
    prevent Spider Mites and other
    insects. Love the stuff.

    I've never had a single Spider Mite.

    You can get it here:
    Neem, Neem Oil, Karanja Oil, Neem & Karanja products

    I use it in the vegetable garden too.
    No insect problems there either.

  3. Thanks for the advice I'll give it a go.
     
  4. Looks like good stuff House & Garden Bat-Special - Soil and Guano Mix - 50 litre

    The one thing I add to every soil no matter what is perlite.
    Kelp meal for micronutrients
    Blood and bone meal for macronutrients
    Glacial rock dust for trace elements
    Crab/lobster meal adds chitin which is proven to boost resin production.
    Neem cake or meal for insect control, as mentioned. I never realized how effective it is until I used it in some potted strawberry bushes last year that were infested with ants. Top-dressed with neem cake and the ants were gone the next day. Works on fungus gnats too.
