hello guy and gals, somewhat new grower here going on my second year and months ago decided to go down the organic path. Just looking for any input hopefully to keep me on the right track so ill just dive right in.
So the soil mix i use is
1 promix
6 cups bone
4 cups blood
4 cups kelp meal
3 cups dolomite lime
1 1/2 cups epson salt
20 lbs worm castings
perlite
6 tbsp plant granular
3 tbsp azomite
3 tbsp seaweed extract
am i headed in the right direction? And the more i read it seems i dont want to ph my teas at all but what about in between when im just using water? i use ro water that comes out high sevens. the local hydro store told me to ph my water at 6 but we never talked about teas. they talked me into mammoth p so should i hold off on that for while or should i add it every ten days or so?
i makeing a veg tea a flower tea and a fungus dom tea every 10-14 which im waiting for the ingredients to get here. so far have just been using straight water and everything seems to look good but i feel there will be much more when i start adding these teas.

I think its pretty heavy on the lime considering its promix but probably not a big deal. I would sub soybean for blood in the future IMO, releases over time instead of all at once. What is plant granular? Is that mycos? Looks good though.

awesome good to know i will tone in down a bit with the lime and look into the soy, and Botanicare Pure Granular Bloom 1-5-4, 5 lb. Bag(pellets) is what that is.. thanks!!

Use what you got for a grow or two and you can adjust later on as you gain experience. Have fun with it and see what it gives you.

I would use fishbone meal, ditch the blood and use alfalfa, neem seed meal and/or a little high-N guano instead. Consider a microbial product that has N-fixing bacteria (Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Rhizobium). Rhizobium isn't a free-fixer and it's likely that certain species or strains associate better with Cannabis than others.
