Will this soil be okay? Also need cheap nutes! +REP

So I just went to the local shop to try and find some promix to create my own organic soil mix but in the process I found this:

Made by my local company:

"general purpose potting soil" contains:

- Sphagnum peat moss, Perlite, Vermiculite, Composted manure, wetting agent, starter nutrients, lime

Think I will need to add more nutes throughout veg or flower? Also where can I get some cheap nutes?

Answer my questions and ill +rep you, especially if im right!

should be ok..... im guessing its a time release nute soil like MG, i noticed the first 2 months w/ MG no extra nutes needed, but def needs flowering nutes. may have to still add more perlite tO the mix to "cut" it down

i would think that since it has some lime added already, it should help buffer the ph, which is where people have problems using mg and no lime in it.. if it looks heavy you can always add some more vermiculate or perlite to help aeration... if you don't like the time released nutes that are in it, you can always soak the soil for a while and it will help leach out some of the nutes.. changing the water every so often helps as well..
as far as cheap nutes try like home depot or lowes or even walmart.. i know schultz brand is pretty popular in these types of stores and can be used as a cheap nute with decent results... i don't know if you were gonna do this anyways, but you can also add some worm castings to the soil as well for some more nutes.. i haven't found them at lowes or home depot myself, but it doesn't mean they aren't there.. you can also check the nursery that you got the other stuff from..
best of luck..

thanks guys! I will prob add some worm castings and then try to find some cheap nutes online

tell me the npk on bag and fox farms tiger bloom is 15-20 and same for big bloom,If u want to go really cheap buy bat gauno mex g is best for veg and jamaican bat g for flower the bat g is about $7 at grow shop i go to.Use only 1/3 what it says to and work ur way up and only feed every other water for best results,U will grow great plants,I use a 400w mh/hps and use a 4x4 area and it work great less on elec and same result,U can put as many plants as poss in 4x4 area but i like to stike with no more than 6-8 like my plants to breath and i can get a 400 closer to top of canopy like mine is at 9-10 and a 600 would need to be 12-15in u lose lumens by half after 12in that means ur plant at 2ft is only getting on the bottom about 12,500 lumens so keep in mind the closer the light the better off u are.My hood is not even beening cooled right now if i cooled it i could get it in about 6-8in over top that is next step for me is to cool my light but u dont have to i have 8in openings on both sides of my hood that helps,GOOD LUCK HOPE I HELPED!
