super soil vs. high brix soil. Whats the difference??

[710420]

I wanted to see what you guys thought of the whole super soil recipe vs. the high brix soil.

I have no idea whats the difference?

my super soil recipe is this : Base mix- 1part promix, 1part buckwheat hulls, 1part ewc
amendments- 1 cup kelp, 1cup fishbone meal, 1cup alfalfa meal
mineral base- 2 cups rock dust, 1cup dolomite lime, 1cup gypsum, 1cupgreensand

hard to get the recipe for high brix because of the lack of info out there but what I got is this: Heres the list of stuff!
Medium:
Vermicrop soil first time user
Worm Castings
Humisoil
Alfalfa Meal
Azomoite
Perlite

Calcium mix:
Rock Phosphate
Gypsuim
Lime

Compost tea:
humisoil
EWC
molasiss
Azomite
This was copied from the thread, "high brix method"

What is the difference? what would you do different with the soil?
imo the high brix soil is just a hybrid of the super soil. Hope to get the experts in here and hash this out!

Both those soil recipe's are garbage IMO. Check out the organic forum for good soil mixes. Good luck

Here is the soil mix I am using this season. Been treating my full season plants fantastically.

30% Peat
30% lava
20% Bu's compost
10% EWC
10% top soil ( was going to skip this but the lady told me it was heavy in minerals and recommended it)

1/2 cup neem meal (yet to find but it will make it into the mix)
1/2 cup Kelp Meal
1/2 cup gypsum
1/2 cup oyster shell flour
4 cups rock dust - I did 2 cups glacial rock, 1 cup azomite, and one cup another mix, can't recall atm)

that's the amounts per cubic foot, there are 27 cubic feet in a yard.

4 cups fish bone meal per cubic yard

Your soil mix is basically an offshoot of a formula that was tested and prescribed by a lab for DocBuds(based off of Promix HP). High Brix is a method for increasing the overall health of the plant, by testing it's sugar content with a refractometer. High Brix territory is said to have a Brix level of 12 or more.

In order to get a plant into High Brix territory, the soil has to contain a certain balance of nutrients, minerals, etc. That formula is different for each soil, so to understand where you need to start, you need to send in a sample to a Brix lab and they will tell you what specific amendments need to be added.

Look up DocBuds and some High Brix articles and read, read, read.

Good luck.
