Up to 8 weeks of feeding built into every bag of soil
Roots Organics LUSH is a heavily amended, peat-based potting soil with a 1-0.5-0.5 NPK ratio and 20+ organic amendments already mixed in. Most plants grow on it for up to eight weeks with nothing but water. After that, supplement with any organic bloom fertilizer and keep going. It ships in a 1.5 cu ft bag that doubles as a planter: cut off the top, punch drainage holes in the bottom, and transplant directly into it.

Water-only for up to 8 weeks 1-0.5-0.5 NPK
The built-in amendment package feeds most plants through veg and into early flower with nothing but water. After 8 weeks, top-dress or add liquid nutrients for the remainder of the cycle.
20+ organic amendments, factory-blended
Earthworm castings, bat guano, feather meal, fishbone meal, crab meal, kelp meal, blood meal, alfalfa meal, soybean meal, greensand, volcanic rock dust, langbeinite, and more. The full ingredient list is on the guaranteed analysis label.
Peat, coir, perlite, and pumice base
Four structural components create a balance of water retention and drainage. The perlite and pumice prevent compaction so roots stay oxygenated even in larger containers.
Beneficial microbes built in
Includes Bacillus subtilis (2M CFU/g), B. licheniformis, B. megaterium, and B. simplex (1M CFU/g each), plus three mycorrhizal fungi species including Rhizophagus intraradices at 0.4 propagules/g.
1.5% humic acids from leonardite
Humic acids improve nutrient availability and support microbial activity in the root zone. The leonardite source breaks down slowly, so benefits persist across the growing cycle.
Compost-free for consistency
Unlike many super soils, LUSH contains no composted forest material. This eliminates batch variation from compost quality and gives you the same performance every bag.
How to use LUSH
Fill your container
Place LUSH directly into a rigid pot or fabric container with drainage holes. You can also cut the top off the bag and plant right into it.
Dig a hole and transplant
Dig a pocket large enough for your root ball. For seeds, fill the pocket with a seed-starting mix rather than seeding directly into the hot soil.
Water in and let the soil work
Saturate with plain water or a light starter solution after transplanting. For the first 8 weeks, most plants need nothing else.
Supplement after week 8
Once the built-in nutrients taper off, top-dress with dry amendments or switch to a liquid organic feed. Increase watering frequency as the plant grows.
