I have a couple plants in soil i mixed. There is feather meal, oyster shell, kelp meal in the soil and i just top dressed pretty heavily with forrest humus. I have been watering with just water and mykos and em1 for microbes. My question is should i go out and buy a liquid organic fertilizer for a quick nitrogen dose or maybe too dress with chicken poop for nitrogen. Or whats the quickeat way to gwt nitrogen too plants without being a liquid if thaf makes sense.

no don't feed it, give it a lil bit to acclimate to the soil, it's not nearly big enough to warrant more nitrogen.
ad next time mix a lil quicker acting nitrogen in with your soil, feather meal is SLOOOOW..
fish meal, neem meal, shrimp meal, manure, etc
those are medium release forms of nitrogen.

Gotchya. The soil cooked for about a month before i planted the plants in it. The plants been in there for about 2 and a half weeks. I just started noticing the green crack(short and bushy) was getting lighter and the sherbert(taller one) still was a good green color to me

also remember that humus is nearly devoid of most nutrients, you don't want to topdress with that really, it's more of a better mix to add with your soil to improve it's CEC.
humus has a tendency similar to peat (very similar in it's makeup) in that it causes a soil tension issue when dried, and that leads to hydrophobic situations that you don't want.

are these outdoor strains?
some will have a lighter green outside no matter what you do, because of the increased photosynthesis.
I've grown lots of strains outside that don't get much deeper than a lime green, sativas in particular,
indicas typically are deeper in green

NO, not dumb at all my friend, humus is GOLDEN, that's why I work so hard on creating my own, in a compost pile.
humus is crucial, and more often overlooked than anything.
peat IS humus also.
you absolutely must have it in an organic mix to be successful.
and it's not completely empty, but it's reaaaaally close to it

They are outdoor strains now haha green crack def a pure sativa and is the lighter green while the sherbert i believe is a hybrid which is the darker green

if you recently put them outside after being inside for a while its totally normal for it to get a lighter green.
I wouldn't sweat it at all
