ithaca green tree ultimate organic soil

[sewerdweller]

Curious if anyone heard of this or tried it.

GreenTree Ultimate BlendTM is an organic supersoil for container gardening made using our proprietary aging process. It contains a blend of GreenTree CocoTM, sphagnum peat and specially selected organic nutrients, worm castings, humic acids, and GreenTree BiocoreTM, a biochar* that encourages microbiology, improves water retention, and locks in carbon. This soil contains all the nutrients typically needed for a full crop cycle. Its supposed to be ph balance and stable.

Any thoughts on this. I think it sounds good and prob get a couple bags

@sewerdweller I work with GreenTree directly pretty often, they are great dudes and produce IMO the best bagged soil on the market. The best part about their soils? They inoculate their soils before they are bagged with predatory mites, ensuring that your soil is fungus gnat free. The company I work for actually helped formulate the recipe for the Ultimate blend (or as we named it the Saratoga Blend). It is simply a modernized take on the original vic high supersoil mix, with a few little changes (Biochar, trace mineral sources ect.)
It works incredibly for photoperiod plants, but I find it is often times a little bit too hot for Autoflowers, even though everything is very heavily composted well before sale, it seems to be just a tad nitrogen rich. Some Autos seem to love it, others get a bit of clawing. So what have I found works best? One bag of the greentree growers blend mixed with 3-5 lbs of worm castings in the top half of your pots, and about 2-3 gallons of the Ultimate/Saratoga Blend on the bottom half of your pots. The Growers blend is mild enough for even the most finicky plants, and the worm castings provide the young plants with a mild N source, and plentiful amounts of trace elements. By the time the roots reach the supersoil, the plant is established enough to take it, and usually goes gang busters.
Wish I saw this post earlier man! I hope you picked some up and gave it a shot, because it is worth every penny!
Much love!

Is this a water only soil?

Yes a water only ideally but im sure ill put a tea or 2 in there. I plan on recycling the soil and add my amendments as needed. Been reading on some topics like milk and black strap molasses.
