so as some of you may know I have been wanting to make my only super soil but dont have the money to make it yet so I decided to do a little experiment for the time being
I had these 2 small sample tubs of Mighty Blend Potting Mix I got a while back they seam to be about 2 or 3 gallons of soil in each and I had some roots organic uprising foundation, grow, and bloom dry nutrients that came with the roots master pack box I got when I was still growing in soil
so this is what I did I had one unopened 2.oz pack of each foundation, grow, and bloom and one of each 2.oz pack of each foundation, grow, and bloom but those ones were open packs not sure how much I used from them but still looked full to me so lets just say I used 4.oz of each and some roots organic oregonism xl
I used the bucket with less soil in it so I could mix it better with out spilling out I added all the uprising packs and some roots organic oregonism xl to the soil and mixed the hell out of it and last I added some plain tap water and closed it and mixed it some more I will let it sit for a few weeks till I figure what I am going to do with it
here is some info on what roots organic uprising is

there is a lot of good stuff in the uprising packs I just dont know the amounts that are in it so its hard to say exactly what's in the mix but what the hell lets see if it works I want to see how long I could go with out any other nutrients
what I think I will do is use the bottom half of the pot with the super soil experiment mix and use the top half of the soil with the extra bucket of soil I have

so a little update on my experimental super soil mix I had a few days ago I added a few caps full of liquid earthworm casting I had since I dont have any worm casting to add to it yesterday and checked on it today and realized it was way to moist and it was starting to develop a bad smell
so I took the last bit of roots organic soil I had it way like a half gallon worth and added it to the mix to help it dry out some and I also left the top of the container off for now
this experiment is a good way for me to get familiar with the super soil process so when I do decided to make it I will have a little knowledge of how to make it
from what I have been reading that you want it moist but not wet so that the bad anaerobic microbes dont take over for now I will just let it dry out some
