I need to head to the grow shop to get some more soil. I been using Royal Gold Kings mix. Since switching to it I have noticed the plants seem to run out of food faster than my old soil mix but I do like this kings mix. I have been using Sensi 2 part liquid nutrients (one veg one bloom) but I am ready to try something new. Since I am going to the grow store now I thought I would get some new nutrients.
The idea of just top dressing a few times and then only water sounds glorious. And as I understand it, things like gia green are organic where my sensi is synthetic.
I was thinking I could use this Kings mix for the first 2-3 weeks, then hopefully add some dry amendments. Came up with some questions
- How often do I need to add amendments? I plan to veg for 2-3 months from seed germination then flip to flower
- I will need some for veg and then some for bloom right? How often do I need to add in bloom?
- Do I also need to add worm castings? If so how often?
- Can I get away with adding nothing else?
- Can you recommend a brand or two for dry amendments as I am not sure what they carry at the grow shop?
Tell me where my thinking is all wrong. I am just trying to get away from mixing different nutrients and having three different sprayers (one veg nutes, one bloom nutes and one just water). I got the impression that my choice of nutrients is far from the preferred. I just got what the hydro store guy told me to try. I now go to a different grow store so I will ask them their opinion too but hearing some opinions from OG that isn’t trying to sell me something sounds great. Also, the grow guys are nice but it always seems i am interrupting a smoke session in the back room when I visit (i can smell it and they all come out from the back haha).
