I'm doing a 100 gallon fabric pot/bed in my 4x4 tent. I have used a few different options and soil recipes in the past. From 1st buying each ammendment to 2nd doing happy frog bulb food an marine cuisine Epsom tone etc.
Found for me the second is the cheapest an best option for me.

I'm now looking at amending my soil with a 3 part Dr. Earth all purpose, bud an bloom 8 and tomato 5.
Does anyone have an opinion or a better option? Things to add to the Dr. Earth blend im thinking about?

Looks wonderful.

You only need to top dress with one of those organic amendment blends at a time, so no need for the 3 different Dr Earth packages. In fact, check the ingredients on the back of all of them and you'll find the ingredients are more or less the same. They're just added in different quantities to produce different NPK values.

I'm guessing this mix is the one you're talking about switching to in 12/12?

I'd go for this mix in your shoes, much lighter. I use 4-6-4 mix, and it's plenty. Heavy feeders can be supplemented with Fish Hydrolysate, if necessary. I do not like the risk of having too much P tied up in my soil, so I don't like to go higher than 4-6-4 on the top dresses. The Fish Hydrolysate is nice for heavy feeders because it's water solubility prevents it from being binded to your soil.

All the best.

Thanks I appreciate that.

So those plants in pictures are in a 45g pot and had the dr. Earth and happy frog. Same soil I have had for 4 years outside, started with individual ammendment.Im actually in 7g pots an liquid nutes on my current run and am switching back but im uping the game to a 100g pot.
So I will be mixing these nutrients 1 cup to a cuft as I fill the pot. An adding new compost an some ocean forrest.
I noticed that it was all the same ingredients and that concerned me so thats what im kinda looking for. Is there any other brands or products that will more complete my soil besides just using the Dr.earth organic 5 vegetable? Something i can use along with it?
I have always just packed as much different nutrients as I can in there so its as complete an nutrient rich as possible basically "supersoil". But I will be adding worms and cover crop an feeding teas.
