Creating a Super Soil Recipe for Cannabis using A.I.

1 day ago

Creating two optimized super soil recipes for Cannabis cultivation using Pro-Mix and Canna Coco as the base, and incorporating Down to Earth amendments (and other listed supplements), requires balancing slow-release organic nutrition and microbial diversity for plant health, vigor, and peak genetic expression—especially in secondary metabolite production (e.g., terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids).

Below are your two recipes:

🌱 SUPER SOIL RECIPE: "VEG" (Vegetative Stage – 4 Months)
👇 Purpose:
Sustained vegetative growth for 4 months

No nitrogen toxicity

Broad soil biology support

Increased terpene precursor availability (early-stage metabolite development)

🧱 Base Mix (for ~50 gallons total soil)
1 Bale Pro-Mix HP or BX (approx. 3.8 cu ft / 30 gal)

1 Canna Coco Brick (5kg) – hydrated (~2 cu ft / 15 gal)

15 lbs Worm Castings

2 gallons Bio-char (charged with compost tea or worm castings)

🌿 Nutrient & Mineral Amendments
(Mix thoroughly into base soil, then allow to "cook" for at least 30 days before planting.)

Amendment Amount per 50 gallons Function
Alfalfa Meal 2 cups Triacontanol (natural PGR), nitrogen
Kelp Meal 2 cups Cytokinins, auxins, trace minerals
Insect Frass 2 cups Chitin, nitrogen, PGRs
Neem Seed Meal 1 cup Pest deterrent, secondary metabolites
Crab Meal 2 cups Chitin, Ca, secondary metabolite support
Fish Meal 1.5 cups Quick nitrogen
Feather Meal 1.5 cups Slow-release nitrogen
Blood Meal 1 cup Immediate nitrogen boost
Rock Phosphate 1.5 cups Phosphorus, Ca
Azomite 1 cup Broad-spectrum trace minerals
Greensand 1.5 cups Potassium, iron, slow-release minerals
Langbeinite 1 cup K, Mg, S
Gypsum 1.5 cups Ca, S, loosens clay
Dolomite Lime 1 cup Ca, Mg, pH buffer
Oyster Shell 1 cup Ca source, slow buffer
Granular Humic Acids 0.5 cup Enhances nutrient uptake
Bio-Live 2 cups Beneficial microbes, NPK
Epsom Salt 2 tbsp Magnesium + sulfur boost
Borax ¼ tsp Boron for brix + metabolic support
🌊 Additional Additives (in watering or tea)
"RAW" Yucca – ¼ tsp per gal (wetting agent)

BIOAG Ful-Power (liquid humic acid) – 10 mL/gal once a week in veg

🔄 Notes:
Let this soil cook for 3–4 weeks minimum before use.

Brew and apply compost teas every 2–3 weeks to increase microbial activity.

Ensure adequate drainage—can add ~10% perlite if needed.

Optional: Add cover crops (clover, vetch) to keep soil biology active in long veg.

🌸 SUPER SOIL RECIPE: "FLOWER" (Flowering Stage – 2 Months)
👇 Purpose:
Transplant 1 week before flip to 12/12

Designed for 8–9 week flowering cultivars

Promotes flower mass, resin, terpenes

Built-in senescence (N fade around day 50–60)

🧱 Base Mix (for ~50 gallons total soil)
1 Bale Pro-Mix HP or BX

1 Canna Coco Brick (5kg) – hydrated

15 lbs Worm Castings

2 gallons Bio-char (pre-charged)

🌿 Nutrient & Mineral Amendments
Amendment Amount per 50 gallons Function
Alfalfa Meal 1.5 cups Triacontanol for flower site expansion
Kelp Meal 2.5 cups Flower hormones, micronutrients
Insect Frass 2 cups Chitin, immunity, terpene boost
Neem Seed Meal 1 cup Systemic pest control, bitter terpenes
Crab Meal 2 cups Chitin, Ca, defense compounds
Fish Bone Meal 2 cups Phosphorus (P), calcium for flower dev
Steam Bone Meal (Happy Frog) 1.5 cups Readily available P
Langbeinite 1.5 cups K, Mg, S for bud structure
Rock Phosphate 1.5 cups Long-term P release
Azomite 1 cup Trace elements for resin production
Gypsum 2 cups Ca + S (important for terpene synthesis)
Dolomite Lime 0.75 cup Mg, Ca, pH balance
Oyster Shell 1 cup Buffer + long-term Ca
Greensand 1.5 cups K, Fe, trace minerals
Granular Humic Acids 1 cup Nutrient availability booster
Bio-Live 2 cups Flowering beneficial microbe support
Epsom Salt 2 tbsp Magnesium and sulfur
Borax ¼ tsp Boron (brix + flower size support)
🌊 Additional Additives (in watering or foliar)
Ful-Power (BIOAG) – 10 mL/gal once a week through week 6

RAW Yucca – ¼ tsp/gal watering or teas

Compost Teas with high fungal dominance (use kelp, fish hydrolysate, molasses)

🔄 Notes:
Cook the soil for 3+ weeks before transplanting.

Nitrogen is moderated — expect fade in late flower (day 45–55) for proper senescence.

You can top-dress with 1–2 tbsp Fish Bone Meal around day 21 of flower if plants need a slight P/K push.

Alfalfa meal in small amounts through flower enhances triacontanol, boosting yield and bud expansion without overstretching internodes.

🌿 Summary

Nitrogen High (balanced, slow-release) Moderate (fade by day 50)
Calcium & Magnesium Adequate from Gypsum, Lime, Epsom Slightly increased Mg/Ca
PGRs Alfalfa, Kelp, Frass Alfalfa (flower support), Kelp, Frass
Terpene Enhancers Neem, Crab, Kelp, Frass Neem, Crab, Kelp, Frass
Microbial Diversity Bio-Live, Worm Castings, Humic Bio-Live, Castings, Ful-Power
Boron/Mag Support Borax + Epsom Salt Borax + Epsom Salt
Flower Support Moderate P High P, K, Mg for dense flower...
