I'm from Ohio, am working on a tight budget. I've taken soil from our garden a few days ago and filled a big tote a third of the way. Then I took promix and mixed it with it. Promix to help add volume. It has coco coir perlite and few other things. It's organic but I'll be more specific if I need be. I have Dr earth tomato and veg as well as bloom. Both organic. Additionally, I have Fox farm liquid concentrate kelp n grandma molasses which was listed to be a little low n potassium but actually the bottle reads higher.

I have 600watt full spectrum led, 4'x4'x80" grow tent, five gallon fabric pots, n garden scape top soil. Carbon filter tbs and pH meter with a basic understanding.

I was gonna mix a certain amount of bloom n veg and worm casting to my soil mix. I'm growing mimosa auto flower. And with the rest of my promix and some top soil I was gonna fill fabric pot with soil mix first then promix n top soil mix and seed. Water until it gets bigger n then add kelp n molasses every two weeks. What u folks think? Can you help me? Thank you

Your plan sounds good. The kelp especially will help. I haven't used molasses so I'm not sure results on that.

But if it doesn't prosper well at that range, I'll try dropping it. Could I add some pine needles to everything to help combat nitrogen spikes?

Yeah. I actually took some tap water higher pH and bottled water lower pH added pine needles to both and within a few hours the pH dropped in both. Didn't test ppm just pH.

Your basic mix will pass with a push. You should not need to add any other nutrients.
Check this video out.
