Nutrients for soil grows

I have soil and ph testers and only use ph adjusted water so do I need to add PH down to the tea? Sorry to ask dumb questions but I am learning as I go along on my second garden! Ya'll sure do have some pretty girlfriends!

For those who find it "Interesting" lol

Really interesting thread. What a wonderful weed. Produces in every thing from supersoil to OTS enriched soils like miracle grow.
I am just setting up for my first grow. 600 w LED should be here Mon. or Tue. Seeds went through ICS in NY yesterday (hope I don't get an empty container). Autoflower fems. 6' x 42" closet. I plan on using organic soil & perlite @ about 60/40, dyna-gro grow & bloom, & 5 gal root pouch fabric bags. This is to get familiar with it all (plus i need the bud, hence the autoflower). I have a small bedroom that I hope to set up next and will go organic and all LED. I like that they are becoming more accessible for growers. Need to see the price in them come down.

Here is my most recent soil mix, seems to be working quite well for me. Use for seedling to end and just add water.

3 Bags Black gold natural and organic
25-50lbs EWC
2.5lbs Blood Meal
2.5 lbs Steamed Bone Meal
2.5lbs Seabird Guano
2.0 lbs Pot Ash
0.5lbs Azomite
1/4 Cup Cottonseed Meal
1/4 Cup Powdered Humic Acid
1 Cup Dolmite Lime
1 Cup Epsom Salts
1/2 Cup Crab Meal
1/2 Cup Mycorrhizal Fungi
2 cups of perlite

Place 3 bags of potting soil onto a tarp and then spread the contents of other packages evenly over the pile of soil and then add 25-50lbs of Worm castings to the mix.
I then use a rake upside down to mix and spread all the ingredients evenly then repeat this a minimum of 3 times.
I then water each can I've filled down and cover for 1-2 weeks.
I will top dress somtimes in flower depending on strain, spray with neem 1-2 times a week during veg and then they will usually be ok once in flower.

I just switched to earth juice and was wondering if I need anything in addition.bi have the grow bloom catalyst meta k and micro blast. I have never used before any things special I should or need to no from my RIU friende

Jacks 20/20/20 as well. Now when you guys say all the way. You use throughout veg and flower? Started with MG which is fine as well I think.

Seems like a good flowering combo. I can't say much about them, I only used Big Bud personally out of the three bottles and I didn't use it long enough to tell a difference.

For molasses, I would suggest not adding it to every watering, but at least every 2nd or 3rd. I've over done it with molasses before and it'll lock out other nutrients if too much is added.

You might want to add Overdrive to your set.

You will find that it is a follow-on to Big Bud and
is used for a couple of weeks after that product.

Good luck,

JD

Thanks guys.
Molasses is used only during flowering correct?
And the b-52 says all through veg?

Feed nutes every 2nd watering or every other watering? I can imagine that ill be watering every 2 days in my 3 gal pots.

Read the can on the B-52. It is used for a range of weeks (3-6 if I had to guess)

can someone help with feeding

Yeah all through veg and wk 3-6 in flower.
Feed every other watering?

I use Jack's Classic, exclusively. All-purpose in veg, Blossom Booster in flower. That's it. No additives, no special potions, no magic wands. Pro-Mix right out of the bag with nothing added. Three ingredients, total, including the medium. Easy peasy. You can see more results link'd in my sig.

I start it from seedling till chop. They can't seem to get enough. I use small amount like 1/2 teespoon when there seedling per gallon of water then up to 3 table spoon during flowering.
