What’s so great about organic soil? Well, in the words of Young Frankenstein…“IT’S ALIVE!” Fertile soil in nature contains so much more than the raw materials plants need to grow-it’s home to a whole other world of living things thriving in the subterranean darkness. This is why the best soil for cannabis is organic, many of these organisms are indispensable when it comes to hearty crop production.

It doesn’t take a veteran cannabis aficionado to tell the difference between a synthetic and organic crop. Despite the millions upon millions of bacteria, rampant fungal growth, and a whole host of other micro-critters…cannabis grown with organic soil is undoubtedly the cleanest flower there is!

Indica and hybrid cannabis varieties are often favored by growers because of shorter flowering times and spatial efficiency. Growing sativa however, presents its own set of unique benefits. Today’s most pure sativa varieties can trace their ancestry to areas of the world have longer growing seasons, such as Thailand and South Africa.

Without the extended flowering time of classics such as Durban Poison, Chocolope, or Super Lemon Haze, the unique soaring sativa effect simply cannot be achieved. When it’s time to harvest, uplifting notes of citrus and pine will make the bit of extra time well worth the wait.

Plants lack brains, yet they’re astute decision makers. Their autonomous behavior is part of what gives a natural growing style the ultimate quality potential. Cannabis uses chemical signals between its roots and the surrounding soil to communicate to an underground network of microbial life about what it needs at any given time. This minimizes stress on a crop, and preserves unused nutrient content until it’s needed. In this relationship between plant and soil, the plant is in command; this cooperative mechanism for survival was refined over millions of years of evolution.

As soon as humans barged in and placed cannabis in a synthetic environment, the plants were stripped of their ability to choose what they sensed was best for them. While many hydroponic growers have developed force-feeding methods successfully, Ideal 420 Soil maintains it is impossible to cheat mother nature. That’s why our water only blend offers the best soil mix for cannabis, because the approach to Just Add Water Soil embraces natural traditions which were in place long before we arrived. When growing with Ideal 420 Soil, power is given back to the plants-right where it belongs!

Just Add Rain http://ideal420soil.com/cannabis-cultivation/growing/just-add-rain Wed, 22 Oct 2014 17:24:27 +0000 http://ideal420soil.com/?p=33 There’s nothing quite like rainwater.

There’s nothing quite like rainwater. When it comes to organic growth, it’s important to remember soil is alive: favorable conditions for microbes mean favorable conditions for plant growth. Is there anything wrong with the water that comes out of your faucet or hose? Not really. Despite additives like chlorine and fluoride, plenty of adequate crops are grown with tap water.

However, not all drinkable water is the same. Growers using hydroponic systems with synthetic nutrients tend to opt for reverse-osmosis (RO) or distilled water. Without a host of critters to act as pH buffers, precise consistency of water purity and pH are necessary to maintain a healthy environment. These types of water are thoroughly filtered, and contain virtually no impurities.

Rainwater on the other hand, is much more than just water. The pH and composition varies seasonally as well as by region, but rain that falls over a given ecosystem is essentially tuned to that local environment. There are no pH-adjusting solutions to mix in nature; the soil microbes have that role. While plants need a few main nutrients to thrive (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), they also need a handful of secondary nutrients in much smaller quantities-such as calcium and magnesium.
These life-sustaining compounds are found in rain, making trapped rainwater a prime choice for marijuana soil. Seasoned organic gardeners know: you don’t feed your plants, you feed your soil! The soil will take care of your plants for you, and rainwater can be a great way to keep that soil healthy.

Why on earth would anyone want to study soil? Within the sciences, it might seem like just about any other field would be more exciting: from deep sea biology to deep space astronomy, the options available to a curious mind are limitless! Yet, the dedicated scientists who make up the backbone of Ideal 420 Soil chose to pursue…soil. Why? If asked, they might point out a more appropriate question: why in earth would anyone want to study soil?

The answers are thriving beneath your feet! Soil is a living part of our planet: the ground platform for life as we know it. The compounds and lifeforms that make it up are vital to the health of the land and everything on it, including us. The unsung heroes who possess the diligence to commit to such a noble cause are the ones truly working toward a prosperous planet.

The food you’re eating, the clothes you’re wearing, and likely the medicine you’re taking, all sprouted out of the ground at some point in their respective production processes. The reason each reached its full potential as a consumer product has everything to do with the environment in which it was grown, namely the health of the soil.

Consider standing before a single tree in a park: the trunk, branches, and a green canopy breaking the heat. What you see is only the surface result of a grand collaboration, among countless types of soil life hidden beneath you. The tree uses its expansive root mass to broadcast signals; in response, communities of subterranean organisms receiving those messages make it possible for the tree to grow strong…and ultimately provide your shaded hideaway.

Like the variety of lifeforms which drive growth from the soil, cannabis itself has evolved largely in the underground. Since the industry is now transitioning from the black market to regulated trade, it’s essential to grasp the scientific concepts behind medical-grade results. This means understanding organic cannabis soil in particular; growers with a comprehensive knowledge of nature’s processes are the ones consistently harvesting product worthy of use as effective medicine, or as a safe and reliable recreational alternative.

As a business striving to set professional standards, it’s crucial to understand the plant not just from seed to harvest-but from processing to every facet of the market affected down the line. Yet no matter how explosive industry growth becomes, whether in relation to the plant or its ancillaries, it’s important to recall the tireless soil microlife who hold the prosperity of everything thereafter in the balance.

Introducing clones to any new medium is a delicate process. Properly rooted cuttings are full of potential, but so fragile. Transplantation always produces a shock which stunts growth, but the impact can be minimized by choosing the best planting soil. Just Add Water Soil happens to be the perfect new home for organic prospects, whether they grow up to be stout indicas or towering sativas.

The carefully tuned pH receives new roots with a gentle welcome, yet the composition of the blend is nutritionally supercharged. The balance gives cannabis the richest environment possible within the limits of safety, even for those finicky and stubborn strains. Generous reserves of raw mineral content also ensure optimal nutritional availability all the way to harvest.

Plants and humans alike can attest to the stress induced by moving. Just Add Water Soil is the thoughtful choice for transplanting cannabis, because it’ll be the only move necessary throughout a plant’s entire life.
