Dry amendment ratios and mixing? - super soil? outdoor grow help

[PLantAsEED]

Last season I had some deficiencies with the outdoor. My mix of fertilizer must’ve been off. Tried again indoors with the same products and poor results. Before I just say F it and buy bottles, I’d like to find a ratio to save money and time by just letting the rain take care of them.

I have;
Happy frog soil
All purpose (down to earth) 4-6-2
Bat guano (down to earth) 9-3-1
Crab meal (down to earth) 4-3-0
Langbenite (down to earth) 0-0-22
Worm castings (wiggle worm) 1-0-0

How could you go about mixing soil for veg, top dressing, flower mix, and timing of it all?

Many recipes out there you can follow.

I follow directions on the bag. Zero defects or deficiencies. You could combine your ingredients and use the same ratio.

Yeah that was my hope lol. I don’t want to spend more money this year on the setup so trying to use stuff I have on hand.

Thanks. I get the whole 1-2tbs per gallon rate but if I have 4 different boxes that all say the same thing, do I then give a 1/4 tbs of each or do I stick to 1tbs per gallon from each box?

I was thinking combine and mix equal amounts of each ingredient, then use at 2 tablespoons per gallon of medium.

But the problem with just adding up the NPK with organics is that a fair amount of the ingredients aren’t water soluble and readily available to the plant (like a salt based nutrient). So if might take months before one nutrient is available, while another may be available in a couple weeks.

Your going to want to develop a plan of attack based upon your growing plan. I like hot mixes but you have to cook them or let them cool before use. What is your ultimate plan for this soil?

How big of pots you tryin to rock and how soon are you hoping to plant?

I am looking to go into 2’x2’x1.5’ boxes without a bottom, so around 30-40 gallons. And one or two plants in the ground direct. Prob out by 6/1 at latest.

I am using happy frog soil that already has a few weeks of Nutes in it, so will just be looking to amend it with top dressings twice during veg and once or twice during flower is all.

Thanks for the link. It cleared some things up. Now it’s just a matter of figuring out the breakdown rate of what I have on hand.

Can you post some pics of the rates of application for each amendment?

Microbes would aid in breaking down the amendments. I love using recharge during veg https://www.realgrowers.com/ and mammoth p during bloom jury still deliberating on the mammoth p, this is my 1st run with it and entering week 6 bloom.
