True Living Organics - The Ultimate Guide to Growing All-Natural Marijuana Indoors (2012)

quite capable of standing alone, it works super naturally when you add the spike and layering
dynamics. If this is too overwhelming of a formula, just use some of the fast soil mix recipes in this
book, or use the base mix of this recipe with no cooking at all in order to get your feet wet, so to
speak.
Base mix examined closer
The organic soil mix or your recycled all-natural soil mix works fine here; just make sure your
recycled soil mix has had the opportunity to cook and break down most of the raw root and leaf/stem
matter, with some nitrogen added to catalyze those processes, as I explained above in the cooking
your soil mix section. When I cook my recycling soil mix I tend to use chicken guano as my high N
source, because it contains lower sodium and higher phosphorus than most barnyard manures.
Don’t bother using a bagged soil mix that has added Mycorrhizal fungus here, because it will not
survive the cooking process without living plant roots to attach to, so although it’s not harmful in any
way, it’s just a waste of money. I also want to add that if you are going to be recycling your soil mix,
make sure to avoid using a bagged soil mix with a large amount of peat moss in it. Peat moss tends to
really favor the fungus and will cause recycled soil mixes to drop to a very low pH; more about that
in the troubleshooting section.
