When and what to feed?

feed when they start to take off. around 6 nodes, maybe. support growth, don't try to force it. some nice guano/EWC teas will do ya right. top dress with bone meal a couple of weeks before flower. make sure you add calcium/magnesium due to distilled water. the lime in your soil (we hope) will provide the Ca, epsom salts in water will add Mg

Scroglodyte I'm gonna be cooking some soil in the next few weeks please take a look at my ingredients tell me what you think.
I don't have any measurements at present

Cheers.

a good, neutral growers mix with lotsa perlite and a bag of rabbit shit, well rotted. there's a good base, imo. i add some mineral supps, some kelp or alfalfa meal, and some home-grown earthworm castings.

Sorry about that I forgot to add the ingredients.

• My base soil is miracle grow organic choice 100% peat free organic soil light in organic nutrients.
  My soil conditioner is 100% organic blend farmyard manure
  Organic worm castings
  Organic coco
  
  Amendments
  Blood fish & bone meal NPK 5-5-6
  Bonemeal NPK 3.5-8.3-0
  epsum salt
  calcified seaweed
  
  I have some organic liquid seaweed but I think I'll save that for my teas

  
  

looks really good. i'm a big fan of humic and fulvic acids, but you're fine without them. save some EWC for your teas also. you're set. happy gardening.

Thanks for the info scroglodyte I'm in th uk and I'm not sure where I can source fulvic acids or for that matter what contains it.

Your a man with experience......... How do I work out the ratio of amendments to the ratio of soil without over doing it and finding out later it's too hot.

Cheers
