Cee2020 Those are some pretty flowers. I wanted to elaborate on my previous comment regarding soil. I use commercial ''potting'' soils (garden master/blackwoods) in varying percentages depending on quality and bark content, but with sweat, elbow grease and time it is turned into something else. Don't know if it would qualify as a ''super soil'' but the plants love it and it suits my budget. 2x 30dm bags of potting soil 2x 30dm bags of lawn dressing 1x 20dm composted manure Add 5kgs of hydrated coco and 1kg perlite for good texture and airyness. 50kgs of my own clean and sifted garden compost and 2kgs bonemeal. I innoculate repeatedly with compost tea to push the bio-activity and get the mix hot. Turn that mountain once a week, keep it moist, airated and covered. After 30-60days you should good.[emoji3] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

What's up lionking! There are literally a bazillion places to start... But let's start here... Indoor or outdoor? How many plants are you thinking of keeping? What is a loose budget you have for supplies

had about 12grams pressed at the just cannabis dab bar recently took this pic after i got home we enjoyed alot while there. This is a mix of my indoor grow

@Bospatrollie2 I really like your approach on making a cheap potting soil into a cannabis haven... Boys south of the burg... where only the buds get covered in snow...

Hi Guys, So the wife asked me to sew something for her, seeing as the machine is out I'll take this opportunity to help those interested... I've come across a few diy fabric pots by members. Thought I would show you guys how I use to make them when I used fabric pots. The material I'm using is called Spunbond, it is very cheap compared to the Covertex material used by some manufacturers. To make a 40 litre pot cut a piece of material 1000 x 500...

True story... I made tons of them in the past... although the material is alot thinner I used them for a few runs with no issues... still have half a roll of the material... anyone battling and need some material... PM me.

Nice man, so straight forward and simple... And it could save a shit ton of bucks if you are looking for a bunch of them

So what you see is the bag inside out... Turn the insides out and you now have a square bottom fabric pot with no extra folds on the inside...

Now cut out those triangles...

Fold the bottom corners into a triangle and sew straight across...

Fold the material in half, inside out and sew the side and bottom with a straight stitch...

Fold a 15mm strip along the 1000mm side and sew it straight across...

So I ran a gram of baggseed Swazi from last season through the press and was pleasantly surprised..

I've now gone to pure coco and fertigation, zero issues at all.

I've mentioned it to a member on the forum. Selling living soils/super soils commercially is risky business with a lot of factors that could go wrong. Having a production facility that is sealed and contaminant free is almost next to impossible, maybe that day will come, but not right now. That's how the occasional batch will have fungus gnats etc. I also feel there's a catch 22 with packaging. I don't know the real science behind it but I'm worried the bags are too sealed and don't allow the soil to breathe well. On the other hand, if you allow the soil to breathe well by punching more holes in the packaging you risk the soil drying out, another issue in itself, plus you invite pests like fungus gnats etc. I think you'll need to accept a certain element of risk when buying a commercial super soil. The only way to avoid doubt entirely is to mix your own

I got some fungus gnats in my seedling mix from Freedom Farm. I got it sorted pretty easy but yeah it's no good buying contaminated soil
