the super soil is the way to go if you dont have much time. plain water the whole way unless you wanna add silica, seaweed, humic, and molasses to your water. You do need two weeks so it can cook and cool down, but it takes about 20 minutes to mix it up. After a 2 week wait (stirring daily) you can plant straight into it even with clones and they wont burn. everything your plant needs for 3 months. I always strayed from super soil cause I didn't think I had the time or space, but this KIS nute pack really makes things easy. You dont have to go out and source 30 ingredients for your soil mix. Just the nute pack, earthworm castings, perlite, sphagnum moss and some water.
