I have been using this soil called Buffaloam, which I add 5 pounds of worm castings, and three cups of perlite. Haven't needed bites until bloom. Even then very little.

Thanks brother. Yeah I will start with the Light Mix for now, trying to learn as much as possible about reading the plants and how theyre doing.

Is there any soil that wont require any additional nutrients throughout the grow?

I used Happy Frog for a while and there was no way i could even gotten through veg without using a veg nute. By week 3 of veg plants started to yellow first time i used HF. It is a good soil and i would use it again for sure. Im using Roots Organics Original now and my plants are liking it.

Yes you will need to lower the ph to about 6.0. Aqurium ph adjuster should be fine just check the ingredients normally sulfuric acid and water. You can get sulfuric acid and auto parts stores for cheap, battery acid. For ph up you can use lye aka sodium hydroxide

Grow medium: I am using ammended ProMixHP (ProMixHP is sphagnum peat moss, with endo-micorrihaeza, a starter charge of Dolomite Lime, and perlite)

Amendments: Carbonized limestone, soft rock phosphate, organic fertilizer ( yeast based), bio-char, mycorhyzae, ammonium phosphate, copper sulfate, iron sulfate, kelp meal, some salt of molybdenum, zinc and 20 mule team borax. Plus 19.5lb (8.85kg) of earthworm castings with an NPK ratio of 1-1-0

Nutrients: The whole "Kit" is known as Doc Bud's High Brix Blend. The kit includes the amendments listed above, two foliar sprays, two products used primarily for feeding the microbes in the soil food web, a powder used for transplants/new seeds. However the kit excludes the earthworm castings and the bale of PromixHP

If you want to know more information about Doc Bud's High Brix Blend, send me a private message.

Im a new grower. Ive got some 7" tall baby indica plants I need to start on their way. Im thinking of 70% Miracle Grow potting mix (0.21 - 0.11 - 0.16) , 30% miracle grow perlite. And very diluted miracle grow all purpose plant food (24-8-16) for this early stage. Distilled bottled water for water. Does this sound like a workable plan?

I would just make sure that miracle grow soil is free of fertilizer. And personally I wouldn't use miracle grow for fertilizer but if that's all you have access to definitely make sure it you dilute at first to see how the plants react. I'm an organic grower so I can only Make those types of recommendations..I would use Mexican bat guano in a composite tea for veg and Jamaican bat guano for flower.

If I flush the MG dirt with water will that wash away the fert within, making it safer?

The trouble with MG is that it is a Corporate product and not well liked here.

Your plan seems reasonable.

Good luck,

JD
