So I have been SCOURING reddit, facebook, and various online forms trying to find the best option for soil mixes and Nutrient routines (waiting for my light to show up). I'm still feeling a little lost. I plan on buying soil and nutes this week.
I settled on this for a while:
"FFOF soil. Add 2 cups dolomite lime prills per bag. No nutes til flower. Once flowering use Nature's Nectar nitro, phos, potassium. 8 ml nitro, 12 ml phos, 12 ml potassium per gallon every water cycle until last 2 weeks then drop nitro completely. No ph'ing at all. As long as you have decent water supply you'll have zero issues"
I however, have not been able to find much on the Nature's Nectar nutrients on old posts.
Does this mixture make sense? Would you do something different?
I plan on buying from this store, if anyone sees something there thats better.
Not sure. I don't like dolomite lime because it's alkaline and will raise the pH level. I didn't see mention of calcium or magnesium supplements or calmag, unless they're in Nature's Nectar.
Yeah, eventually I would love to mix my own living soil. However, I don't want to wait the 90 days some recipes require. So in the meantime, I'm leaning more organic/a mix of organic and not

There is some Calcium, but I'm not seeing Magnesium. Does it still look sketchy?
Build a soil 3.0 recipe. Amend with craft blend and worm castings at beginning of flower. Re amend with craft blend and castings right after harvest. Wait two weeks and start the next batch.
