I like to use down to earth organic amendments with Roots Organic regular soil as well as ancient forest humus soil from general organics and worm castings from everwood farms and make two bins. One that is lighter on the P and K and heavier with N for the top half. Then the second bin I let it compost a for at least 2 months. I arrange it so that it gets heavier with all three (N-P-K) towards the bottom. I use seabird guano 0-12-0, bone meal 3-12-0, Rock phosphate 0-3-0, blood meal 12-0-0, greensand 0-0-3, kelp meal 1-.2-2, alfalfa meal 2.5-.5-2.5, langbeinite w/magnesiumn 0-0-22, and a good amount of azomite,humic acid,dolomite lime, yucca and add roots organic oregonism XL. Then I just water. It has pretty good results but only when it is composted for plus 2 months and adding carbs/microbial food and amino/enzymes.... Now onto the question, sometimes my soil is still composting when I come across some great clones or beans or I start a new set of beans before the soil is ready so I end up using it on the bottom half and leave the top half as it comes out of the bag with the exception of ancient forest humus and worm castings and Oregonism XL. I have to use a micro,grow, and some bloom nutrients. I have used Advanced nutrients that got the job done but nothing great.(ph coco connoisseur grow,micro,bloom- sensizyme, big bud, bud blood, rhino skin, nirvana) other times I have used roots organic uprising (all 3) trinity, micro from emerald triangle 5-0-1, hp2(roots organic bat guano 0-4-0, and a down to earth liquid potash and kelp mix 0-0-8. This has yielded batter results than when using the advanced nutrient line.... I am now in the same boat, my soil isn't ready and another is mite infested. I was thinking about using Humbolt Nutrients. The only time I have been able to get top shelf quality meds is by mixing and making a custom soil blend to begin and only nutes if needed if not just water. I get top shelf photo op worthy meds. Has anyone been able to get top shelf meds with a line of nutrients/supplements and a bag of soil right out the gate? If so which ones and how much and when? I also would like to know everyone's take on Humbolt nutrients and what is your preferred brand and favorite product.... Mines is everwood farms and down to earth with roots organic...Yours?
