Good enough? just molasses,microbe brew...

Wondering how far using good soil (light warrior/ocean forrest mix) unsulphured molasses and Bushdocter's Microbe brew 1-.2-.04 with mycorrhizae will take me before I see signs of deficiency or lack of vigorous growth.Anybody have expierence with sole use of either of these? Any suggestions on a low cost nutrient to add to my regiment?My current set-up has 8 two week old seedlings under cfls. Gonna wait 2-3 weeks before I place them under a HPS to bloom.

Ocean forest is a pretty hot mix soil, I actually stopped using it because I had to much problem figuring out when to start adding nutes, so I would have periods of either under feeding or overfeeding. I much prefer the control of a sterile mix like straight cocoa, I believe light warrior is also sterile. If you use something sterile you can start with 3/4 to full strength as soon as you transplant.

To answer your question, I think you can get to week 2-4 of flower without adding nutes with that mix. Just keep an eye on them and when you see some yellowing or other signs of under feeding then start adding nutes. Start weak though, less than half strength.

For types of nutes, I prefer the ease of ph perfect, but you pay a little more for that.
