So if all the nutes are in the soil, how am I supposed to flush??

I am using root organics as the base soil and couldnt find the powdered humic acid. What does that do for the plants? If I just get the liquid humic acid stuff by humbolt or general hydroponics or whatever company, would it work?
Also Sub Cool's pics of his dank weed he grew looks WAY more danker then what everyone posts up of their attempts with this soil mix he claims you just add water, which leads me to believe he is adding more.

Would earth juice micro blast be beneficial to plants fed with this super soil? Is the blackstrap still a good idea to use? Can I use less of the super soil and maybe use some tea too so I can flush better? Can I use any earth juice or add kelp or add anything to this soil mix without burning everything?

Thanks

You can find powdered Humic acid on ebay. I would be hard to mix a liquid through our the soil it would have to be used later as a tea I would think and would not cook with the soil the way subcool does with his soil mix.
There is a lot more to growing than just the soil mix. Lighting, ventilation, CO2, bugs, diseases, etc.
3LB's liked earth juice so I would suppose it would be OK, however, there is no need to flush with a good soil mix. How would you flush since it all is part of the soil. You not adding chemicals there is nothing to flush.

First off, get the word 'flush' out of your head. It simply does not apply to this type of grow/mix.

Yes, Micro Blast would be beneficial in moderation. Like, not more than every 2 weeks or so.

Yes to the molasses. Once/week or so.

Yes to the teas. No need to use less of the SS, teas by their nature are very weak.

Yes to the EJ and the kelp. Again, moderation is the key, but both EJ and kelp play very well with SS.
