Super Soil, the new revolution in organic cannabis cultivation
At Monkey Soil we have always believed that the love for cannabis should not be at odds with taking care of the environment and our health. We are committed to organic farming, because we care about our planet and we want to do what we can to conserve it. Long before we started this exciting project, our philosophy on cannabis cultivation was already heading towards the principles on which the new Super Soil is based.
For this reason, this year 2020 we have added three new products to our catalog: Monkey Myco, All In Myco and Monkey Seaweed, which will help you create your own Super Soil substrate at home. Now, you can make your super substrate entirely and exclusively with Monkey Soil products! Always with the quality guarantee of the house. Do you want to know more about the Super Soil ? Would you like to know the great benefits it represents for your plants and the environment? Do you want to learn how to make your own super substrate at home? So, do not hesitate to read this article that we have prepared for you with great care.
Take your harvest to the next level by growing with super substrates
The substrate is responsible for storing and providing the roots with the necessary nutrients for the plant to grow and have a healthy life. The Super Soil is a substrate 100% organic and organic - rich NPK, and other micronutrients (calcium, zinc, manganese, iron, etc.) that cannabis plants need for proper development. The action of these small beings also ensures the availability of nutrients so that they can be easily absorbed by the roots. By cultivating with Super Soil , you will obtain crops with a higher and richer content of cannabinoids and terpenes. Your buds will have a more intense flavor and aroma and with a wide spectrum of distinctive nuances of each variety, bringing out the true personality of each genetics. The effect, in turn, will have a deep, powerful and complex character. Your harvests will be abundant, of exquisite quality, and unique. On the other hand, a richer and more complex substrate in terms of nutrients and trace elements will give your plants greater vigor. This strength translates into a greater natural defense against pests and diseases, thanks to a greater reinforcement of its cell walls, as well as an increase in the synthesis of antibacterial proteins. Plants grow more resistant to pests and diseases, thanks to their composition rich in nutrients and minerals, and this will allow you to save on pesticides. "Plants grow more resistant to pests and diseases, thanks to their composition rich in nutrients and minerals" Another advantage offered by Super Soil is the self-regulation of pH levels, thanks to the action of microbial life. Therefore, if you have the pH of the water under control, you will not have to worry about measuring and adjusting the pH levels of the substrate, and you will save time and energy.
A living substrate, better for your plants
The word "organic" means "that has life." The organic substrate is one that is formed as a consequence of the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter. This decomposed living matter is transformed into food that is easily absorbed by plants. This creates a mini-ecosystem rich in essential nutrients and minerals that plants need to survive, with microorganisms that feed on them and at the same time take care of their formation. The symbiosis that is created between the roots and these beings that reside in the environment increases the availability of nutrients in the soil, favoring better and greater growth. "The symbiosis that is created between the roots and these beings that reside in the environment increases the availability of nutrients in the soil" In the case of substrates lacking all this activity, although you can add the nutrients that plants need to survive, they will not be absorbed by the roots. In addition, when you use chemical fertilizers, these, unlike the organic ones, are absorbed much more quickly by the plant, so they will run out sooner, and you will have to add food to the substrate throughout the cultivation. On the contrary, if we fertilize with organic products, called slow absorption, the plant can gradually dispose of the different nutritional elements, when required and in the precise quantity. The plant has at its disposal, at all times, all the nutrients (macro and micro elements) it needs to grow healthy and vigorous throughout its life. This, in turn, allows us to save time and energy when caring for our crops. As well as a significant amount of money in fertilizers and additives! Think of the forest land, for example, when you go looking for mushrooms. The land that you find is alive, and this brings out all kinds of fauna, flora and micro-life that, in turn, feeds the plants, trees, and other plant beings that inhabit that forest. In an agricultural crop field where chemicals are used, on the other hand, the land is completely dead, and only weeds can grow on it.
The terrible consequences of chemicals on earth
Intensive agriculture, with the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides for so long, has had tragic consequences for the earth and the planet in general. The main reasons that have justified the use of chemicals in cannabis cultivation (as well as in other crops) have been greater productivity and harvest power. Until a few years, very few people were really aware of the serious dangers these chemicals posed for our health and for the survival of the planet. On the other hand, the use of these harmful substances kills the natural life of soils and impoverishes them, reducing their ability to nourish plants. Over time, the soils become less fertile, until they become totally sterile and useless for cultivation. The microbial food chain is broken, by rapidly decreasing the amount of carbon-rich organic matter, in addition to drastically reducing the activity of humic and fulvic acids, major players in the transformation of living matter into food. On the other hand, cultivating in poor soil, as we have already said, a lot of money is invested in fertilizers, additives, pesticides and other chemical products! A 100% organic substrate super rich in nutrients for plants The Super Soil , however, enriches the substrates and maintains its fertility! This is due to the synergy that is created between the microorganisms and small fauna that reside in it, whose activity favors the biological balance of the soil. Thus, we have a 100% ecological substrate that is super rich in nutrients for plants, in addition to containing life whose action promotes and protects the health of plants and the soil; While enriching it and preserving its fertility for future crops! The Super Soil is therefore a completely self-sufficient substrate.

What do you need to create your super substrate?
Monkey Ecosoil Outdoor, Monkey Ecosoil Indoor, Big Monkey or Monkey Coco Lite : Lands with Ecocert control (suitable for organic farming), which you will find in the Monkey Soil catalog. Any of the four are perfect for making your Super Soil , but, not to repeat ourselves, we will always talk about Monkey Ecosoil Indoor from now on. You can also use other ecological land if you prefer. The only essential thing is that the land you use to make your Super Soil is of the best quality and suitable for organic farming, and that it is not contaminated with chemicals or other toxic elements. Monkey Worms : Monkey Soil earthworm humus; 100% ecological; made with california red earthworm. It is a natural fertilizer that actively participates in the formation of the so-called macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and micronutrients (calcium, sulfur, iron, zinc, boron, manganese, magnesium, copper ...), which the cannabis plant needs for a proper development. In addition, it provides bacteria, fungi and nematodes that biologically reactivate the substrate. Bat Monkey : Monkey Soil's bat guano, from the island of Madagascar. An excellent natural source of macronutrients and micronutrients for your cannabis plants. It actively participates in the formation of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (F) and potassium (P), the latter in greater quantity. Monkey Myko: Monkey Soil mycorrhizal fungi and spores. Specifically, they are vesicular-arbuscular endomycorrhizae of the genus Glomus Iranicum Tenuihypharum. In your Super Soil , they are responsible for the production of phosphorus (P) and other essential nutrients for cannabis plants. On the other hand, by joining with the roots, they act as a prolongation of the roots, thus helping to absorb more nutrients. They also provide moisture. On the other hand, mycorrhizal fungi are a natural defense against nematodes, small parasites that inhabit the rhizosphere and feed on the roots of the plant, damaging them. However, not all types of nematodes are harmful, there are some (such as Dorylaimida or Diplogaster), which kill other harmful microbes and also generate nutrients for plants. Mykro Monkey: mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria of the Rhizosphere. A pack of integral microlife, with bacillus and rhizomes. They will take care of producing enough nitrogen (N) and other nutrients that your plants need. All In Monkey: low concentration organic fertilizer in solid format. Monkey Seaweed: organic fertilizer made from 100% seaweed that acts as a biostimulant and improves the biotype of the plant. It contains natural amino acids and phytohormones, as well as microorganisms that protect the roots of your plants against invading fungi or bacteria. Algae contain a large amount of macronutrients, micronutrients and trace minerals from the ocean; in addition to beneficial vitamins such as A, C, B12, E.

How to prepare your Super Soil?
When preparing your Super Soil , there are different ways to do it, the main and essential thing is that all the ingredients are well mixed, evenly. You can verify this by observing and touching your final mix, looking at its color and texture. First of all, to make your Super Soil , you will need the following material: A tarp or large container. A rake and shovel (or something similar) to remove. Make your own super soil in 10 easy steps: Lay the tarp or prepare the container. Add a little Monkey Ecosoil Indoor, a little of the other ingredients, and more soil. In layers, like lasagna. Mix it well and remove everything with the help of the rake or shovel. Repeat the process again with the soil and the other ingredients. Stir as you make more layers. Keep stirring until everything is well mixed, evenly. If you want, you can pour the mixture into another canvas or container and continue stirring. Once well mixed, place the mixture in another container. Add water: 8/10 gallons (30/40 liters) for the measurements in this recipe will do. Cover it and let it sit in the sun for 30/60 days. Actually, the mixture has to "cook" in the container, reaching 50 ºC. At this time, the mixture should be kept moist, but not soggy. The heat and the microorganisms will take care of breaking down all the ingredients that we have mixed with so much love, thus allowing the creation of our Super Soil. After these 30/60 days of rest, stir the mixture again until it acquires a uniform color and texture. And ready! Congratulations, now you have your best quality Super Soil , made by you! At the time of starting your cannabis cultivation with Super Soil , it is very important that you not only use Super Soil ! If you grow in pots, first fill ⅓ of the pot with Super Soil and the rest with Monkey Ecosoil Indoor. You can also add a layer of clay balls to the bottom of the pot to promote greater drainage. If you cultivate outdoors, clean the soil first, especially if you have cultivated before; make sure there are no traces of dead roots or other debris from the previous harvest. Before placing your seed in the substrate, cover the surface with Monkey Ecosoil Indoor, thus preventing the seed from directly touching the Super Soil , since it could burn it. Another option is to germinate the seeds in Monkey Ecosoil Indoor first, and transplant them when our small plants have started to vegetate. So that the microorganisms in the soil do not die, it must always be well hydrated. You can keep your Super Soil substrate for a long time, covering it to prevent it from drying out or getting too wet, as you would do with a good compost.
A reward in the form of tasty, premium cannabis buds, 100% organic!
Now that your seeds are already installed in their new and nutritious home, just add water and wait! Your plants will need nothing more than irrigation and light to grow healthy and vigorous for the rest of their lives. And the reward for your effort and patience will be an abundant harvest of tasty and juicy buds, with a complex and intense effect, covered with a thick layer of gleaming and appetizing trichomes ... While you are taking care of your health and that of the planet! Although it takes time and energy at first, the benefits of growing with Super Soil compared to other substrates will make you glad you decided on this revolutionary cultivation technique.
