So are you say I can just use bonemeal blood meal and garden lime through the whole grow?
Starting my seeds today… what extra do you put in your organic soil?
Something simple but effective

I’m sure it would grow just but if you want bigger better buds your going to need to feed them more. Especially once you hit the flowering stage.
Also I haven’t used blood or bone meal in a very long time but I’m pretty sure it works best if you let it cook of a bit.

no this what i would do after you have choosen plots in the ground break up ground good test ph then adjust add bone meal and blood meal then add cow manure then add potting soil with sand mix all up let age a while if you got some old age forest compost add it to to get microbes. going strong. look up tree dawg outdoors fence it works great to keep varmits away from plant they like the smell of bone and blood meal. add azomite for trace minerals kelp would be good to add cover soil with native compost.when plots get some age on them you will stop growing bushes and start growing trees. i use bloom bat guano during flower. all i told you i learn by my self .if any question please ask will be willing to share what i know peace

First we need to know what exactly you are calling organic soil. It could be coco, peat or some other medium. Also it might already have nutrients added to it. If so are they time release?
There is no one simple thing to add that will cover all the bases and plants need different nutrients depending on the stage of growth.
Just need more info before we can steer you in the right direction

It just cheap organic Walmart brand soil… it’s a peat/coco mix with compost… with no perlite

Well that would be a good place to start, add some perlite. Cannabis likes a well aerated soil. I would add 1 part perlite to two parts of that soil. That and some Alaskan Fish fertilizer should get you through the veg cycle.

What ReikoX said,espeially about aeration. Maybe some worm castings along with the perlite, and some bone meal, and good compost is always welcome.

OK, there’s a couple soil camps (and we are all friendly) here. You need to research and decide what ‘feels right’. Everybody has ‘their own thing’…

Okay, that’s not helpful haha. How old is your little one? They get stronger once they hit the first set of 3 leafs. I’m assuming because it’s hot and down South you will need to be careful and harden off because the sun is intense.

I’d wait until the main stem has toughened up a little.
The first lot I ever grew outside, the slugs killed them all, didn’t eat them but had one bite on the stem, which was enough to fell the plants.
After that I always wanted till it had barked up a bit and never had slug problems again.
Rabbits were a different matter

in my opinion if you want to grow outside you should have started them outside now you have to harden them off slowly to get use to the harsh southern sun and humidity…
