Is this product considered a super soil? How many weeks can I go without nutrients? And will this product fill 2 5 gallon buckets?

No, you need to look up Sub Cools recipe, this is just considered the base medium to your super soil mix. In all reality, if you are going super soil, make sure you get nematodes for the cooking session, you can also add your own mix of beneficial bacteria and fungus. Its awesome, but most importantly if you are going this route, get a worm farm and make worm tea. You will love me later on.

I'd get a few. You could do two 2.5 gallons with this, maybe 3. It isn't a supersoil, but it takes next to nothing to fertilize during veg. I gave very light nutes twice in a month and a half. Not even sure I needed that.

It comes from both ocean floor and forest, so I guess that makes it a rich soil. I doubt that it would fill 2 5-gallon buckets. Maybe 1. I'd forgotten about the toxic waste that fills our oceans like mercury, plastics, Fukushima nuclear radioactive particles, so I won't be buying ocean soil again. Hence I haven't found out the nutrient content. Sorry.

It is sufficent to work as a 1 part veg and 1 part bloom. However I do recommend MaxiGrow for veg now. Also the koolbloom liquid and powder supplements are not required, but I have really noticed a punch using them. The liquid is used the whole time with bloom. I use the koolbloom powder those last 2 weeks before flush. Would recommend also used with GH Floranectar Fruit. On a side not, I also use Dutch Master Root Zone Gold for micro sup. I only need to up every couple months and I am grabbing hefty fruits! Worth the money!

Hi, It all depends on the strength 1/4, 1/2, full. Example, I'm using the Lucas formula for the entire grow which consist of 8 ml of Micro and 16 ml of Bloom per gallon. I have a 5 gallon res so at full strength I'm using 40 ml of Micro and 80 ml of Bloom. There are 1000 ml in a liter so divide 1000 by 80 and you get 12 gallons from the Bloom at full strength and 25 gallons from the Micro. If using 1/2 strength then it would 24 gallons of Bloom 50 gallons of Micro. Note: Full strength is not recommended for small plants, start at 1/4 strength and your plants should show signs when they need more. If you're growing in Hydro, DWC or bubbleponics then you may want to look into Advanced Nutrient's PH perfect line which is only part A & B. I've tried both and both work great. Right now I'm using the Lucas formula to see if it works without using the Grow. Hope this helps.

I have had issues with this mix, the 29 grams comes out at 800, its suppose to come out at 1500. tomatos did not do well. e-mailed them 5 times and no answers. if you are using this for seedlings you will be ok. do your self a favor and buy the master mix and the Calcium Nitrrate, Magnesium sulfate and mix it yourself. if you mix the master blend first in a 5 gallon bucket then your epsom salt, and finally your calcium nitrate in that order your nutrients will not fall out of solution (they cannot bond properly) and this is why people see the white stiff on the bottom of the bucket. you can go to https://www.morgancountyseeds.com/store/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=487 and get every thing plus shipping for under 40 dollars. also and this is importation buy either a ph meter or a ph liquid pool kit on amazon. you need to be beween 6.2 and 6.5.

That is what I have understood about the term organic. Also, natural composting to boost soil rather than store fertilizer. I would contact the company directly before taking advice from a stranger.

This stuff is pretty powerful to be using around anything you want to keep living. Just 2 ounces in a single gallon will make a 1,000' or more look like a apocalyptic waste land for at least 2 weeks. Look into specific herbicides to target your problem then treat with ground sterilizer or a little mulch or rocks can go a long way. Talk to your local trusted nursery for the best solution.

One bag is enough for about a one inch layer of in a 30 gallon tank. So no, not really; you'll want at least a 2" substrate for plants to be happy, and that's why you're planning on buying Flourite, isn't it? I used one bag of this and two 12 lb bags of Carib Sea Flora Max in my 30 gal. Plant growth is great. I do use additional fertilizers, though.

I just read the container and it says one tablespoon of miracle grow lawn food mixed with one gallon water. That would cover 25ft. No pre-mixing of granules with water.

Yes. It's a tri-colored (brown, white and teal) granular product that will sit on the soil, until dissolved by watering or rainfall. =)

I use the fox farms soil so I don't use the fertilizer until the 4th week. Some people do use them rite away but I have been very successful doing it my way. I get much larger production then anyone says you should get. I do supplement the fox farms with shooting powder in last 4 weeks of flower

Though this is sometimes advertised as a fertilizer, it is not. It technically has NPK levels but they are minuscule (0.15, 0.15, 5.23) other than Potassium (K). It is an additive that supplies the soil with uncommon nutrients. Think of it like a vitamin for your plant; it uses what it needs and disregards the rest. In fact I would say you would ALWAYS want to use this in conjunction with a real fertilizer keeping in mind that azomite supplies some Potassium (K) already. Azomite minerals (the company) tested growing tomatos using soil that was 25% azomite and the plants did fine. It will not burn your plants like normal fertilizer will contrary to what many of the other commenters here are saying. I would visit azomite faq for more REAL information : http://www.azomite.com/faq.html

only use on occasion it is not meant for monthly use. 1-2lbs will kill roots. Then add bacteria to toilet. if you can add copper directly to drain field its best if not mix with water then flush. small roots will die quickly larger will decompose over the next few months

I still trench and fertilize with very good results. The plants seem to take the fertilizer they need. I haven't over watered or over fertilized since I started using the Earthbox.

I think most people mix with soil, could be used either way.It does not add nutrients, it is to loosen soil and RETAINS WATER.

I believe it's 5ml per gallon. You can use this at 1/2 strength through the Veg period, it says it helps with cell and stem structure and the formation of flower sites! But to conserve since it's kind of expensive and not a big bottle, it's mostly intended and made for the flowering stage of the plants life! You'll wanna use this in combo with any other nutrients you're using starting at the 1st sign of flowering, or if growing indoors when u switch the light schedule to 12hrs on and 12hrs off! Depending on what you're growing, I'm assuming you're growing "Special Plants", then during the flowering stage you'll use this every other watering or if on a 3 day cycle, day 1 feed with water/nutrient solution, including your Bud Candy, 2nd day let dry out or use just plain water,(pH 5.5-6.5) for optimal results, and the 3rd day if you didn't need to water day before, then you'll feed your plants with plain water. Some peoples setups are different, indoor, outdoor, so the rate fluid absorption will vary depending on different scenarios, such as plastic pots as to fabric pots, temp, humidity! Just use your own judgment on the look and feel of your grow medium. Me personally, I like to let a day go in between watering with the nutes and with plain water, that way it gives the roots and plant more time to absorb and use the available nutrients before it gets diluted and flushed when fed with just water! Also, the rootzone prefers a little dry out period in between waterings, which causes roots to grow and reach for moisture which helps make for a healthy root zone, and noticeable vertical plant growth! I hope this helps u out a little better without confusing you! If anything isn't clear just reply. Happy Growing!

I had the same question. The 5 pound container is supposed to cover 3 acres. I took a wild guess and mixed one third of my 5 pound container into my 4 gallon sprayer. This should be enough to cover one acre but I sprayed roughly one half acre with the four gallons which means I was spraying double concentration. I don't mind the overkill but I'm sure that 1/6 of the 5 pound container mixed into my 4 gallon sprayer would have been sufficient. Nothing has sprouted since I sprayed a couple months ago so it seems to be working.

These are great for starting seeds. They have no nutrients at all. But make sure you have a real good root system before you transplant the plant in the ground. I didn't do this and my plants died. Plus keep them moist also they dry out quickly I set mine in a pan of water. Your seeds will start sprouting in less 5 days I was amazed. This is so worth the money.
