Hi there! Ive been posting each of my grows in a different post and I decided since Im gonna do it consistently to just make 1 post like many people do and put them all in one post. A "quick" recap of the soil, ammendments and liquids I use:
Soil: Canna terra professional, composition;
Peat and perlite; NPK 12-14-24; EC 1.0; PH 6.
Toped with biobizz coco + perlite.
Drainage method: Arlite on the bottom.
Additives mixed with the soil: Extra perlite, coco coir, vermiculite, arlite, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, neem meal, dolomite lime, phosphoric rock dust, volcanic ash, worm castings, bat guano, biochar.
BASE NPK: Going back to Iguana Juice as base NPK after trying a few other organic brands. Will use Iguana Grow for veg and then Iguana Bloom for the first 3 weeks of flower. After that I will mix 50% Iguana bloom 50% Alghemp F from Trabe to reduce nitrogen intake.
Other liquid additives: Radical roots by Trabe (from week 1 of veg to week 3 of flower), Radical flower by Trabe (flower), Top Barrier by Top Crop (Potassium silicate, veg and extra during flower), Big Bud by AN (week 1 to 3 of flower), Bud Candy by AN (flower), eggshell + vinegar calcium mixed in the water with epsom salts (resulting in CAL-MAG-SULFUR, veg and extra during flower), CALMAG by Ionic (I try to avoid it and use my mix for calcium since calmags tend to come with nitrogen and this one is no exception, but I will use it if I see they want more nitrogen instead of my mix)
Top dressing: Will probably only use bat guano and palm tree ash as pk booster after 3rd week of flower. Might use any of my other ammendments too if I see it fit but I like to push with liquids in flower and only a light top dress.
Suggar sources for microorganisms: molasses and sweet beetroot juice.
Suggar source for fattening buds: Bud Candy from Advanced Nutrients.
x4 Melonade Runtz (Dutch Passion) in 7Gal pots and x1 Wedding Cake (Random seed) in 3Gal pot.
x2 150W Cosmos LEDs (Full spectrum with IR and UV). 100x100x200cm cultibox light tent.
Day 29 of 12/12 (In my original post I got it wrong, I thought they were at day 35+ and I was a bit dissapointed but turns out Im a moron and I cant do basic math
). Happy with the frostiness, waiting to see how they fatten.
And here is my new tent. 80x80x160cm Hydro Shoot tent.x3 Fat Banana (Royal Queen Seeds) 5Gal pots, x1 Forbidden Fruitcake (Advanced Seeds) 5Gal pot.
2x Niello 1200 130W LED (Full Spectrum with IR and UV). They have fans so the 130W are not exclusively the LEDs unfortunately, but will be good enough for now, Ive had them for a year and I cant complain at all, got some impressive buds a couple of grows ago with Crystal Candy from Sweet Seeds using these.
And if youre curious about the Crystal Candy from Sweet Seeds that I pulled out with those "130W" LEDs here they are, got 2 dark blue ones and 2 green ones:

Used and will use the same ammendments and nutes that in the other one, the only difference is that these pots are 5 gallon instead of 7 due to the tent being slightly smaller. I will remove the NET later on, I had to make some adjustments to it because it said it was for 80x80 and it clearly was too flacid and going down in the middle so I had to pass 2 rows through the hook to tense it, which leaves me with less squares to work with and Im not happy with that, will get a better one when I can. 
those lights do the trick
still one month to go but that one is maturing faster since she decided to self polinate. I had hopes as it was being a mild summer until a week ago but they still have august to go through... hopefully no more hermies ^^' but theyre gonna get HAWT.
