Hey Hey Everyone!! Happy 2021!!! Hope all is well.
I am doing my first outdoor grow in 15 Gallon pots. 4 Plants, 1 in each pot. I have decided to try the ProMix HP. I am in SW Ontario Canada. As of today they are all looking pretty good. I am feeding the with REMO Nutes, cali mag, and kelp. Around 800 PPM on the TDS meter. Doing this every 3 days right now.
I was thinking about Top dressing? Never done this and wanted to get some advice on what I should use and the technique? If I do this, will I still feed as well?
Would love to get some recipe’s or tips on making this guys grow strong!
Thanks all!

Going in or out? 
Top dressing may be overkill & unless the soil surface is drying out too fast, in which case more of a mulch would help.
A super thin compost layer would help add some “biology” & help make those nutrients uptake more easily. 
My 2 cents. I’d go for Dragonfly Earth Medicine black stuff, biochar.
Down to Earth organic dry soil amendments (sometimes some added roots organics terp teas grow/bloom/boost depending on the cycle I’m in) are my only way I go now. They’ve got a line that covers veg-flower with everything you could imagine and even acid mixes for blueberries and rose/flower mixes for roses.
I grabbed bat guano, bone meal, Langbeinite, dolomite lime, and fish meal for top dressing, buffers the waters pH to perfect for soil like medium growing of cannabis, has all the NPK and micronutrients, microbes and whatever you could imagine all organically.
Method is take your measured amount and evenly spread around the base of whatever you’re fertilizing, then kind of rub it around in the dirt (DRY DIRT, I should mention) to mix it in as thoroughly as possibly cause they’re such fine powders they kind of chunk up with moisture
If you have any questions feel free to ask, I can take pics of my labels so you can see the nutrients every one has if it’d benefit you.

No disrespect @TestOfOath ; DownToEarth used to be independent & got bought out by a big company(or so I heard…), i.e. changed their recipes, etc.
