SoHum Living Soils® Best Practices
SoHum Living Soils® is a microbial-based super soil that has been scientifically developed to simply provide the easiest and most cost-efficient means to cultivate premiere cannabis flower. SoHum’s robust microbial content has been designed to provide each plant with the optimal blend of beneficial bacteria and fungi necessary to successfully complete each plant cycle and organically produce high quality product yields using only water with no added nutrients.
After the initial manufacturing of SoHum Living Soils®, microbial colonies are organically interacting at an elevated level. However, this activity decreases over time and, without any plant activity, becomes dormant until the soil is ready for use. The soil will remain in this state for a minimum of its’ 2-year shelf life. Once opened, re-mixed and used for planting, the microbes will immediately become available for plant nutrient uptake.
Here are some handy tips to optimize SoHum Living Soils® potential for the crop:
- As a result of the mixing process, a microbial interaction is established to create the organic food source that results in an environment that is too strong for seeds, starts, seedlings and clones and therefore is NOT recommend using full strength SoHum for this purpose. We recommend using a 50/50 blend of SoHum with an organic seed starter soil for these type of applications
- Full strength SoHum can be introduced at the first transplant stage into 1-gallon containers
- SoHum works equally well in both top and bottom-watering systems as well as all indoor and outdoor container-grown crops
- SoHum Living Soils® make it easy. If your environmental conditions are adequate, you will be able maximize your harvest yields
- SoHum Living Soils® should be watered with dechlorinated, reverse osmosis (RO) , tap or rainwater and should be analyzed to ensure that there are no extremes in pH. Routinely test water to keep pH levels between 6.3 and 6.8. If chlorinated water is to be used, it must be allowed to off gas for at least 24 hours
- Flowering plants do not grow optimally with wet roots therefore avoid over-watering from the top as it may cause microbial nutrients to leach from the soil into your tray
- SoHum never requires flushing since there are no salt-based nutrients to remove
- Previously used soil can be recycled for future usage; however, you will be required to add the necessary micro and macro-nutrients which have been depleted during the previous cycle
SoHum Living Soils® was created by cannabis entrepreneurs who harvested the harmony of plant and soil synchronicity to achieve the largest yields at the lowest costs. No need to add anything but water and time.
