Welcome to Soli Vivi Organic — your source for clean, living soil organic cannabis in Canada. Our living soil organic (LSO) cannabis is grown with 100% organic methods. We use only the finest sourced organic inputs. Sure, we could pump our crops full of synthetic nutrients for maximum yield, yet we chose to maximize quality instead. ### What's In Our Living Soil? Our living soil recipe is a balanced blend of peat moss, pumice, various composts, and a combination of organic and inorganic ingredients: - **Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss** — Soil structure, moisture retention, pH balance. Lightweight, organic, ideal for acid-loving plants due to its low pH (3.0–4.5). Retains up to 20 times its weight in water, improving soil aeration and nutrient retention. - **Biodynamic Compost** — Soil health, fertility, nutrients. Enriches soil with diverse nutrients and beneficial microbes, promoting vigorous plant growth and resilience. Unique herbal preparations and fermentation process enhance soil vitality. - **Vermicompost** — Soil health, beneficial microbial activity, nutrients. Nutrient-dense organic fertilizer produced by earthworms (red wigglers) digesting organic matter. Rich in humus, enzymes, and beneficial microorganisms with a neutral pH (6.0–7.0). - **Pumice** — Soil health, aeration, drainage, microbe health. Improves aeration and stimulates the growth of mycorrhizae. Improves drainage, retains moisture, and prevents soil compaction while remaining pH neutral and stable. - **Rock Dusts / Minerals** — Soil health, overall plant health, nutrients. Includes basalt, gypsum, oyster shell, and glacial rock dust. Rich source of macro and micronutrients including silica, iron, magnesium, calcium, copper, and boron. - **Biochar (Charged)** — Beneficial microbial activity, slow release nutrient delivery. Charged by adding compost tea and organic nutrients, inoculating the charcoal with beneficial microbes and trapping nutrients for slow release. Acts as a sponge and home for beneficial microbes. - **Organic Natural Fertilizers** — Slow release nutrient delivery, beneficial microbial activity, disease and pest resistance. Includes kelp meal, insect frass, fishbone meal, and neem meal. Rich in essential nutrients and compounds for natural pest protection. --- ## Our Mission Source: https://soliviviorganic.com/our-mission/ At Soli Vivi Organic, our mission is to cultivate the cleanest, medicinal-grade cannabis using living soil methods, delivering the safest and most effective herbal medicine to support our customers in combating a myriad of ailments.

Source: https://soliviviorganic.com/what-is-living-soil/ ### Living Soil in Cannabis Production Living soil is a dynamic, biologically active growing medium that serves as the cornerstone of organic cannabis cultivation. Unlike conventional soil or hydroponic systems, which often rely on synthetic fertilizers or inert media, living soil is a thriving ecosystem teeming with microorganisms, fungi, and organic matter that work symbiotically to nourish cannabis plants. This approach mimics natural soil systems found in untouched ecosystems, fostering a self-sustaining environment that enhances plant health, potency, and sustainability. In cannabis production, living soil is celebrated for producing high-quality, terpene-rich buds with minimal environmental impact. ### The Essence of Living Soil At its core, living soil is a holistic growing medium that integrates organic matter, microbial life, and natural amendments to create a balanced, nutrient-rich environment. It is not merely dirt but a vibrant community of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, and other microorganisms that interact with cannabis roots to facilitate nutrient uptake, improve soil structure, and enhance plant resilience. This living matrix replicates the complexity of forest floors or prairie soils, where organic matter decomposes naturally, and nutrients cycle without external inputs. In cannabis cultivation, living soil is often referred to as "super soil" or "no-till soil" due to its ability to be reused across multiple growing cycles with minimal supplementation. ### Key Components of Living Soil 1. **Base Soil** — A high-quality organic soil mix, often a blend of peat moss, coco coir, or loamy soil, forms the foundation. This base provides structure and water retention while serving as a habitat for microbes. 2. **Compost** — Well-aged, organic compost is the heart of living soil. It introduces beneficial microorganisms and provides a slow-release source of nutrients from diverse sources such as plant matter, manure, or vermicompost (worm castings). 3. **Aeration Materials** — Perlite, pumice, or biochar are added to improve soil aeration and drainage. These materials prevent compaction, ensuring oxygen reaches the roots and microbes. 4. **Organic Amendments** — Nutrient-rich amendments like bone meal, blood meal, kelp meal, and rock dust supply essential macro- and micronutrients. These materials break down gradually, feeding the soil food web over time. 5. **Microbial Inoculants** — Mycorrhizal fungi, beneficial bacteria (e.g., Bacillus subtilis), and other microbial inoculants enhance nutrient cycling and protect roots from pathogens. Mycorrhizae form symbiotic relationships with cannabis roots, extending their reach and improving nutrient absorption. 6. **Cover Crops and Mulch** — Living soil systems often incorporate cover crops (e.g., clover, alfalfa, dichondra, chickweed) and/or organic mulch (e.g., straw or wood chips) to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and add organic matter as they decompose. ### The Soil Food Web The soil food web is the intricate network of organisms that drives nutrient cycling in living soil. Bacteria and fungi decompose organic matter, converting it into forms that cannabis plants can absorb, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Protozoa and nematodes consume bacteria and fungi, releasing excess nutrients into the soil. Earthworms and other macroorganisms aerate the soil and contribute to decomposition. During the vegetative phase, nitrogen-loving bacteria dominate, while phosphorus and potassium become more available during flowering, guided by microbial activity. This dynamic nutrient delivery eliminates the need for precise feeding schedules, as the soil self-regulates based on the plant's needs. ### Benefits of Living Soil in Cannabis Cultivation 1. **Enhanced Terpene and Cannabinoid Profiles** — Diverse nutrient availability and microbial interactions contribute to richer terpene profiles and higher cannabinoid content. More aromatic, flavorful, and potent cannabis compared to hydroponically grown counterparts. 2. **Sustainability and Cost-Effectiveness** — Living soil is reusable, reducing the need for frequent soil purchases or synthetic fertilizers. No-till practices further enhance sustainability. 3. **Improved Plant Health** — Beneficial microbes protect cannabis plants from pathogens and pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. 4. **Environmental Benefits** — Living soil systems sequester carbon, improve water retention, and minimize runoff compared to conventional methods. 5. **Simplified Nutrient Management** — Unlike hydroponics, living soil is forgiving, as the soil food web naturally balances nutrient availability. ### Practical Applications 1. **Building the Soil** — Start with a high-quality base mix including peat moss, incorporating 30–40% compost, 20–30% aeration materials, and 30–40% organic amendments. 2. **Inoculation and Activation** — Introduce microbial inoculants such as compost tea or mycorrhizae products. Water with dechlorinated water and allow the soil to "cook" for 2–4 weeks. 3. **Planting and Maintenance** — Plant cannabis directly into living soil. Water with compost tea or molasses-based solutions to feed microbes periodically. Avoid overwatering. 4. **No-Till Practices** — After each harvest, remove only the plant stalk, leaving roots to decompose and feed microbes. Top-dress with fresh compost and amendments. 5. **Monitoring** — Regularly check soil moisture and microbial activity. In a living soil ecosystem, pH tends to balance itself. --- ## Shipping & Payment FAQ Source: https://soliviviorganic.com/shipping-payment-faq/ ### What payment methods do you accept?
