How to Use & Recommended Pot Sizes
Our living soil comes pre-charged with a complete blend of nutrients and microbial life. No additional products are required—it’s ready to use straight away.
Suitable for rooted cuttings, germinated seedlings, or established plants.
Contains mycorrhizal fungi and mycelium networks to boost root growth and nutrient uptake.
Recommended Quantities
Minimum: 162 litres per 1.2m² grow space for full nutrition.
18L pots: Provide 4–5 weeks of veg from seed, or 2–3 weeks from rooted clones, plus 8–10 weeks of flower (when supplemented with our 2-8-10 Bloom in week 3 and week 5 of flower).
Examples:
9 × 18L square pots per 1.2m²
9 × 30L round pots per 1.5m²
For growers preferring fewer, larger plants (e.g., under a SCROG net):
4 × 50L pots per 1.2m²
👉 Larger pots require less work, allow multiple plants per container, and ensure rapid canopy coverage. Simply water and watch your plants thrive.
—
Growing Autoflowers
Germinate seeds and plant directly into their final pot (no transplanting).
Recommended pot size: 25–30L for maximum productivity.
Autos and photoperiod plants both require the same nutrients.
Bloom feeding schedule:
Add 2g of 2-8-10 Bloom per litre of soil two weeks after first white hairs appear.
Repeat after two more weeks to ensure balanced nutrition until harvest.
—
Yields with Dr Organics Living Soil
Yields are equal to or better than bottled nutrients.
The hydroponics industry often claims otherwise to promote repeat nutrient sales.
With Dr Organics, you buy the soil once, then simply re-amend it.
Expect superior flavour and aroma compared to synthetic feeds.

Cost Savings
No need to purchase expensive bottled nutrients each cycle.
Soil is reusable, saving money every grow.

Common Myths
❌ Myth: You must dechlorinate tap water
False. Chlorine levels in tap water are too low to harm microbial life.
In fact, chlorine benefits photosynthesis by helping regulate stomata function.
❌ Myth: You must pH your water
False. Our soil naturally buffers pH to between 6.0–7.0, regardless of water source.
—
Nutrient Support
Calcium, magnesium, and all essential trace elements are slow-release and naturally available in the soil.
Plants remain fully nourished throughout the grow.
—
Reusing Dr Organics Living Soil
1. After harvest, remove the main root ball but leave smaller roots—they feed microbes as they decay.
2. Re-amend soil with our 4-3-4 Dry Amendment (12g per litre).
600g will re-amend 50L of soil.
3. Mix well, return soil to pots, and it’s ready to use again.
⚠️ When re-amending more than 50L at once, allow soil to rest for ~7 days (turn occasionally) to disperse heat.
This process can be repeated indefinitely, making our soil one of the most sustainable choices available.

✅ Dr Organics Living Soil: Simply water, re-amend, and grow again—better harvests, better taste, better value.
INGREDIENTS AND INPUTS CONTAINED WITHIN DR ORGANICS LIVING SOIL
VOLCANIC ROCK DUST
Rock Dust benefits include high yields, tastier fruit and vegetables and increased resistance to pests and drought
INSECT FRASS
Frass has been shown to have almost completely deterred pest damage of crop plants. Frass acts as a deterrent for plant-eating insects while still supporting key pollinators, like bees and butterflies. As chitin is also commonly found in insects, plants mistake frass chitin for a warning of imminent insect attack.
KRILL MEAL
Krill meal is a true superfood for your soil. Not only will it increase the overall fertility of your garden beds, you can also use it to protect your plants against pests and disease. The slow release properties make it ideal for fending off ringworm. Even more so, the high mineral content allows your plants to grow robustly. It also contains a polysaccharide called chitin. When it’s tilled in, chitin helps plants to fight off root rot, blight, and powdery mildew. Also, it provides the perfect habitat space for the soil microorganisms that produce enzymes to destroy root-damaging nematodes.
COCO COIR
Coco coir is a proven natural alternative to mined peat moss, therefore, using it helps slow down peat extraction from environmentally sensitive swamps world wide. Benefits of coco coir, uses of cocopeat, Coco coir, Coconut coir, Coco peat, Growing media, Organic growing mediums, Coconut growing mediums
COMPOST
The benefits of composting for our soil are numerous and cyclical. The production of humus
increases the nutrient content of soil, which leads to improved plant health and growth; these
plants grow stronger and more diverse root systems, which lead to improved soil and water
retention and less eroded sediment and water run-off. The nutrients are then not leached or
washed away and are able to further improve plant health and root development.
FISH MEAL
Organic Fish Meal is an excellent source of nitrogen and phosphorus and is recommended for all vegetable gardens, flower beds and all types of outdoor plants, trees and shrubs. Fish Meal stimulates soil microbial life, promotes vigorous root development and provides an early season boost for all your plants.
MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI
It is a beneficial fungus that is specific to and the very best for cannabis. Both hemp and marijuana profit from its use. The fungal hyphae attach themselves to the roots of the cannabis plant. This can effectively triple the root mass of the plant.
NEEM MEAL
Neem Seed Meal is produced during the extraction of oil from the seed of the Indian Neem tree (Azadiracta indica). It is an excellent way to strengthen root systems, improve plant immunity and balance nutrient levels in the soil.
MALTED BARLEY POWDER
It is chock full of beneficial enzymes such as phosphatase, chitinase, urease, protease and amylase. These enzymes act as catalysts in your soil, helping microbes break matter down into nutrients your plant can use. One of the main benefits of using Barley is that it enables plants to finish faster than those without
ALFALAFA MEAL
Good Source of Minerals: Along with high nitrogen content, alfalfa is filled with plenty of other beneficial garden minerals, including iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and others.
Growth Hormone: Alfalfa contains triacontanol, a hormone that stimulates the growth of plant roots, enhances photosynthesis, and increases beneficial microbes which help to suppress many soil-borne diseases.
Builds Up the Soil: The high nitrogen content in alfalfa makes it easy for surrounding organic material to decompose. This helps prevent compaction in the garden by improving soil structure and acting like a sponge to absorb excess moisture and help prevent erosion.
Helps Resist Drought: Adding alfalfa to the soil increases its sponge-like tendencies. Therefore, making it easier for water to be absorbed and held in the soil, even during times of drought.
Encourages Growth: Within alfalfa is a substance called triacontanol is a hormone that stimulates plants to grow better roots and increase photosynthesis, which leads to stronger, larger garden plants.
Controls Harmful Nematodes: studies have shown that the use of alfalfa meal in gardens can reduce the infestation of root-knot nematodes that attack tomato plants, thereby helping you get a bigger harvest.
Provides Food For Microorganisms: Everything living in your soil loves alfalfa. This is because of its tasty nutrients, meaning an infusion of alfalfa will help beneficial microbes and worms to thrive.
HUMIC & FULVIC ACID
The Role Of Humic Acid In Plant Growth
For crops, humic and fulvic acids are chelators. They combine minerals to make them into organic compounds that can be ingested by plants more easily. They also enable the soil to hold more water and can increase the water infiltration of the soil.
KELP MEAL
Seaweed or kelp meal fertilizer makes a great organic amendment to garden soil. It’s an excellent bioactivator, waking up all the microbes in the soil to help break down organic matter and make it available to plants. It also contains macro and micro nutrients, trace elements, and vital resources.
BONE MEAL
Bone meal acts as a great fertiliser for a few key reasons. The first is that it’s a great source of phosphorus, which is an essential nutrient for plants to help them flower and new plants to produce strong roots, so is good for root vegetables such as onions, garlic, carrot and parsnip.
GARDEN LIME
Lime has two effects on soil. First, it neutralises acidity. Second, it may be a slow-acting alternative or a complement to gypsum in the treatment of sodic,
WORM CASTINGS
Worm castings are a gentle, effective, natural fertilizer that provide essential nutrients to plants. Scientific studies show that using worm castings in the garden can help plants grow significantly larger, stronger, and produce more abundant and better-quality flowers, fruit, and vegetables. Dr Organics Living Soil Dry Amendment boosts plant health and growth.

By far the best soil ive ever used by a country mile ! Plants had no deficiencies and continue to grow vigorously and by far the best looking plants ive ever grown. Felix is a top man and no matter how busy he is, he always has time to share his advice and words of wisdom and really knows his stuff. Can’t recommend Dr Organics enough.

Amazing Results: My Plants Have Never Thrived Like This!
KI –
I decided to give this a try on my first ever grow,So any problems are more down to me bumbling my way through the process than anything else.Firstly i found this very easy to use it was pretty much a hands off experience, i have just harvested a couple of JH autos that won’t win any awards for growth but have very dense large buds and are covered in trichs.They took 73 days and in this time i think i watered them 5 times which apart from adding the dry bloom amendment once was all i had to do soilwise infact i think i probably over watered them early on.Also i tried some of the soil with a dragon plant cutting and it’s absolutely thriving.

This soil and amendments are without doubt the best and cleanest on the market.im about to re-order after 2 runs with this, wasnt perfect but that was my doing, we live and learn. the only thing you need is your enviroment kept right and boom! he is also a genuine, helpful fella!
Rob Smith –
First time using an organic soil system and I’ve been blown away by the quality of the substrate, the customer service and the results of the soil. Super vigorous and strong growth from start to finish using nothing but tap water and the Terra Actus during veg and top dressed with bloom three weeks into flower. Couldn’t be more impressed with a premixed super soil that takes all of the guess work out at a very reasonable price. The Dr goes a long way out of his way to give solid advice.
Autosmoke –
What can I say the very best results I have ever had and all I used was water from my tap. I am growing autos again using the same soil just remanded with your 4 3 4 and used a bit more of your Dr Organics living soil to replace what I removed when taking out the main root. My plants are 4 weeks from seed now looking great really thank you for this product it’s really made my life easy.
