Hi guys. I will grow some this summer and my idea is too not spend a single cent on soil or nutrition. I have acces too three different kinds of soil from three different fields and a lot of horseshit, if i get a feeder for ph and nutrition,is it then possible too "adjust" the soil i took from the field too match the marijuana? And if it is possible, what should i add too the soil too get the nitrogen up/down? Too get the phosphoruse up/down? Too get the potassium up/down? My idea is too go for 50% horseshit and 50% soil, horseshit in the first layer against the ground and then soil on top of that. So how do you guys think i can match soil from fields too my sweet girls?
thx for answer :)

How old is that horse manure? I hope it's been composting for at least a year.
Preferably 2 or 3 years. I would try to not use more than 25% horse manure if
I were you until you find out how it goes.

Maybe, you could try growing some plants with 10%,20%,30%,40% and 50%
horse manure to test things out this year. It would be sad to use too much manure
and burn your plants while losing a year's production.

Foothill, it looks like English isn't their first language so maybe their phrasing and vernacular is throwing you off? Or did you mean their 'access' to fields?

magic4free, those are pretty basic questions that have answers all over the internet. if you just google 'how do I amend soil' you'll find a lot of useful info. First you have to find out what kind of soil you have, and go from there. There are some simple soil texture tests you can do.
