How to Make SubCool's SuperSoil (THE DANK - TGA)
[From the late SubCool, who created and advanced the concept of SUPER SOIL, his own writing on the matter. We miss you, bro! ]
Subcool's Super Soil Ingredients:
Here are the amounts we have found that produce the best tasting buds and strongest medicines:
- 8- Large bags of High quality Organic potting soil with a coco and Mycorrhizae
- 1- 25-50 pounds of Organic Worm castings
- 5 lb. Steamed Bone meal
- 5 lb. Bloom bat Guano
- 5 lb. Blood meal
- 3 lb. Rock Phosphate
- ¾ cup Epson salts
- ½ to 1 Cup cup Sweet Lime ( Dolomite)
- ½ Cup Azomite ( Trace Elements)
- 2 tbs. Powdered Humic Acid
Overview of Subcool's Super Soil recipe:
This is the same basic recipe I have used for 15 years the hardest ingredient to acquire is the worm castings most people don’t even know what it is. Be resourceful and find it worms make up three quarters of the living organisms underground btw and hold our planet together. Be careful not to waste money on Soil Conditioner with worm casting but local Pure Worm poop with no added mulch.
There are several methods of mixing this up well. You can sweep off a patio or garage and work there on a tarp. You can use a kids plastic wading pool these cost about 10$ and work really well for a few seasons. Some growers have been known to rent a cement mixer and cut down on the physical labor. As long as you get the ingredients mixed up properly that is all that matters. This can be a lot of work so don’t pull a muscle if your not used to strenuous activity. This method is good for mind and body. Working with soil keeps me in pretty good shape, but if you have limitations you can simply have someone mix it up for you while you supervise. One of the things I like about this method is I can drop of plants to a patient and all they have to do is water the plants when the soil dries out.
Technique for mixing up Subcool's Super Soil recipe:
- Place a few bags of base soil in first making a mound. I then place the powdered nutrients in a circle around the mound and then cover with another bag of base soil.
- Then goes in the bat poop and then more base soil. I continue to layer soil and additives until everything has been added to the pile. So now I put on the muck boots, these help me kick the soil around and get it mixed up well using my larger leg muscles and not my back and arms. Then it’s as simple as my Skipper used to say “ Put your back into it”. This is hard work that I obsess on, even breaking up all the clods of soil by hand. I mix for about 15 minutes, turning the pile over and over until it is mixed well. I store the mix in large garbage cans. Before using the mix the entire load is poured out once more and mixed well. Once placed in the containers I water it slightly adding 3 gallons of water to a large garbage can full. It will make the stirring harder next week but it will activate the Mycorrhizae and I think help all the powders dissolve.
- So now we add water and let it cook in the sunshine. 30 days is best for this concentrate.
- Do not put seeds or clones directly in this mix. It is an advanced mix used in conjunction with base soil. It is used to place in the bottom of each finishing container and fully rooted established clones are placed in a bed of base soil that is layered on top of the concentrate. As the plants grow they slowly push their roots into the super soil drawing up all nutrients needed for a full cycle. The Super Soil can be used also to topdress plants that take longer to mature.
I will use this mix for a full year just adding like 30-50% in the lower portion of the container and plain base soil in the top portion. Base Soil means your regular potting soil Like Roots, Harvest Moon, or even sunshine mix without the additives!
Buds from this method finish with a fade and a smoother fruity flavor. The plants are not green when done but Purple, Red, Orange and even Black at times. The resin content is heavier and the terpenes always seem to be more pungent.

Supersoil ingredients and the benefits each provides to organic living soil.
- Organic worm castings: Worm castings are rich in nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, and can help improve soil structure and drainage. They can also help to improve plant growth and yield.
- Steamed bone meal: Bone meal is a natural source of phosphorus and calcium, which are essential nutrients for plant growth. It can help improve root development, flower and fruit production, and overall plant health.
- Bloom bat guano: Guano is a type of organic fertilizer made from the excrement of bats. It is high in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential nutrients for plant growth. It can help improve soil fertility and encourage the growth of strong, healthy plants.
- Blood meal: Blood meal is a natural source of nitrogen, which is an essential nutrient for plant growth. It can help promote foliage growth and improve the overall health of plants.
- Rock phosphate: Rock phosphate is a natural source of phosphorus, which is an essential nutrient for plant growth. It can help improve root development and flower and fruit production.
- Epsom salts: Epsom salts are a natural source of magnesium and sulfur, which are essential nutrients for plant growth. They can help improve the overall health and vigor of plants.
- Sweet lime (dolomite): Dolomite is a type of limestone that is rich in calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are essential for plant growth and can help improve soil structure and pH balance.
- Azomite: Azomite is a type of mineral supplement that is rich in trace minerals. It can help improve soil fertility and plant growth.
- Powdered humic acid: Humic acid is a type of organic matter that can help improve soil structure, water-holding capacity, and nutrient availability. It can also help to stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
NGS Summary regarding SubCool's Original Supersoil.
The ingredients used to create SubCool's original recipe can work together to create a living soil that is organic and rich in a variety of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, which can be beneficial for cannabis growth.
For example, the worm castings, guano, and blood meal provide a good source of nitrogen, which is an essential nutrient for marijuana plants. Nitrogen helps to promote foliage growth and is important for the development of healthy leaves and stems.
The bone meal and rock phosphate provide a good source of phosphorus, which is another essential nutrient for cannabis plants. Phosphorus helps to improve root development and flower and fruit production.
The Epsom salts provide a good source of magnesium and sulfur, which are also essential nutrients for cannabis plants. Magnesium is important for the synthesis of chlorophyll, which is necessary for photosynthesis, and sulfur is important for the synthesis of proteins.
The sweet lime (dolomite) helps to adjust the pH of your organic soil, which can be important for marijuana plants as they prefer slightly acidic soil (pH range of 6.0-7.0).
The Azomite and humic acid can help to improve soil fertility and structure, and can also provide a source of trace minerals and beneficial microorganisms, which can be beneficial for cannabis growth.
Overall, these ingredients can work together to create a living organic soil mixture that is well-balanced and nutrient-rich, which can be ideal for cannabis plants. It's important to note that the specific amounts of each ingredient described here are general purpose, and may need tweaking for any specific marijuana strain.
Some possible improvements to SubCool's Original Supersoil.
There are a few potential improvements that could be made to this soil recipe, depending on the specific needs of the cannabis plants and the specific growing conditions. Here are a few suggestions:
Add compost: Compost is a great way to add organic matter to the soil, which can help improve soil structure and fertility. It can also provide a source of beneficial microorganisms, which can help to promote plant growth.
Add perlite or vermiculite: These materials are often added to soil mixtures to help improve drainage and aeration. This can be especially important for cannabis plants, which require well-draining soil.
Adjust the nutrient levels: Depending on the specific needs of the cannabis plants and the specific growing conditions, you may need to adjust the levels of certain nutrients in the soil mixture. For example, you may need to increase the amount of nitrogen if the plants are showing signs of nitrogen deficiency, or you may need to decrease the amount of phosphorus if the soil is already high in phosphorus.
Add a little Alfalfa meal: Ground alfalfa can be a good addition to a soil mixture for cannabis plants, as it can help to provide a good source of nitrogen, which is an essential nutrient for cannabis plants. Nitrogen helps to promote foliage growth and is important for the development of healthy leaves and stems.In addition to its nutrient content, alfalfa meal also has a number of other benefits. It can help to improve soil structure and water-holding capacity, which can be beneficial for cannabis plants. It can also help to suppress weeds and reduce the need for watering, which can be helpful for cannabis growers. It's important to note, however, that alfalfa meal should be used in moderation, as it can be high in nitrogen and could lead to excess nitrogen levels in the soil if used in large quantities.

Cannabis Quotations
I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening, or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, mid-evening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon... or perhaps the late-mid-afternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning…But never at dusk.
