Preparing the Soil Mix

Since I only want to go back to the spots as few times as possible before harvesting I have to create a soil mix that, given ample rainfall of course, will get the plants thru the growing and blossoming process without adding any additional fertilizers over the coming months.

Because there are no Grow Shops where I live you kinda have to make do with what you can get at Garden Centers. But as long as you use a premium quality fertilized potting soil with Perlite added that has the right PH, you're gonna be alright!

The soil mix that each plants gets consists of:

30 liter Premium Quality Fertilized Potting Soil with Perlite and a Root Complex added

1,3 liter Worm Castings

3,3 liter Vermiculite

25 gram Bone Meal (Ground up Cow Horns)

25 gram Blaukorn (Bluekorn)

55 gram (Bat) Guano Kalong

60 gram Sea Bird Guano

I will add the extra fertilizers when I'm filling up the holes to ensure that it is spread evenly thru the mix.

The purpose of vermiculite in a potting mix is to hold water. Vermiculite has crevices which hold and release nutrients and water. Vermiculite and Perlite are both volcanic rock and can be used in an organic garden.

Make sure you get out all the lumps and make it nice and loose

Very nice!What's that bluekorn?

A basic fertilizer that among other things takes care of plenty of nitrogen. (Click the Link in the list above or Google it!)

excellent mix - ordered me some worm castings + vermiculite, too. Guano works wonders as a long term feeding. Hope all the work + expense pays off in good weed.
