Looking for soil mixture recipe.

Discussion in 'Growing Organic Marijuana' started by thealater, Jul 21, 2019.

  1. I was on this forum a couple of months ago and came across a recipe for an easy organic grow. I wrote down the items that I needed but not the ratios. Can someone in here repost the post. Cant remember the name of the person.
    Here is the list of ingredients that I have:
    Spagnum peat moss
    Rock dust
    Kelp Meal
    Lime
    Dr earth fertilizer
    Pearlite
    Thanks

  2. You will need a couple more things, more importantly you will need compost to make your base soil with.
    I don't know which recipe specifically you are thinking of but you can look at the no-till recipe which many of us here use successfully.

    No-Till soil mix:
    For the base mix Equal parts:
    CSPM (Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss)
    Aeration (Pumice/Lava rock)
    Compost - Quality is key here.

    Then amend per CFt with:
    1/2 - 1 cup Neem or Karanja meal
    1/2 - 1 cup Kelp meal
    1/2 - 1 cup Crab/Crustacean meal
    1 cup MBP (Malted Barley Powder)

    1/2 cup Gypsum (nice sulphur source)
    4-6 cups Rock Dust (Basalt is best but any will do)
    6-8 cups Biochar
    1 cup lime (oyster shell flower, dolomite...)

  3. Start with that exact mix and you will have a nice living soil that you can keep alive for years.
     
  4. Here’s my current mix, I started with the base no-till mix mentioned above and over the years I’ve changed it up a little.

    1 cu.ft. (7.5gals) Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss. (Hydrated)
    1 cu.ft. (7.5gal) Earthworm Castings
    8.5gals Horticulture Perilite
    2 gals Bio-Char (RAW, uncharged)
    1 cup Alfalfa meal
    1 cup Comfrey meal (homemade)
    2 cups Kelp meal
    2 cups Crab meal
    2 cups 50/50 Neem/Karanja meal
    2 cups Oyster Shell Flour
    1 cup Gypsum Pellets
    3 cups Balsalt Rock Dust
    1 cup St. George’s Black rock dust.

    Let this cook for a month before use.
