Mycelium & Super Soil - Dubble Bubble

This is the last week of veg for these Ladies and they are ready to flower for sure ! I will begin scrogging them this week and I will flip the lights next week. The goal of this grow is to do a preliminary test to begin to determine if Mycelium provides any additional benefits to Cannabis when allowed to colonize in super soil before being added to bottom layer of the pot. The Process: 1) 8 weeks Prior to Germination Super Soil is mixed (see super Sub cools super soil recipe further down the page) and added to spinning two part composter, water is added and the super soil mix is allowed to break down for a week. 2) 7 weeks Prior To germination 1L of colonized mycelium is added to each side of composter. Mycelium is now allowed to colonize the super soil. 3) After 8 weeks total the Mycelium has had enough time to colonize throughout the super soil mix and is ready to be added to the bottom 1/3rd of the pots. See Pictures for an example of what this looks like. I use this recipe for the super soil Subcool’s Super Soil Recipe Improved, Small Batch : 1 ten gallon bag of high quality Organic Potting Soil I use Fox farms Ocean forest. 3 to 6 pounds of Organic Earthworm Castings (1 lb. of casting = about 1 gal.) 10 ounces of Blood Meal ( 10 oz. of blood meal = about 1 & 1/2 cups) 10 ounces of Bloom Bat Guano ( 10 oz. of guano = about 1 cup) 10 ounces Fish Bone Meal ( 10 oz. of bone meal = about 1 cup) 6 ounces Rock Phosphate 1&1/2 tablespoons Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) 2 tablespoons or 1 oz. (liquid measure)of Dolomite Lime 1 tablespoons or 1/2 oz. (liquid measure) of Azomite (trace elements) 1 teaspoon of powdered Humic Acid The for My base Soil ( This is the main soil that makes up the 5gallon pot and the super soil is only added to the bottom third layer of the pot ) For each 5 Gallon Pot: 5 L of Pro Mix 2 L Coco Coir 2L Worm Castings 2L Perlite 2L Organic potting soil (fox farms ocean forest) 1 tsp Mycorrhiza 1 tbsp. bat guano 1 tbsp. Dolomite Lime. I mix this together in a large bucket for each plant individually. This way I can be sure my plants are all getting as close to the same starting soil composition as possible. I then add the super soil that has been colonized by the mycelium to the bottom 1/3rd of the pot. Next I add the mixed base soil. The plants that will be coming into these pots have been vegged for 2-3 weeks and are in red solo cups. Then I pot each plant and water with a 1/4 dose of Fish Fertilizer, Sea Kelp, Silica and Pro Cal. The plants will now spend the next 4-6 weeks in veg. Hopefully the Mycelium will increase root zone uptake as well as help break down soil elements. And who knows maybe it will raise the c02 in the room a little.
