Advice on organic nutes for flowering

You can just top dress the FF with dry organic fertilizer, I’ve used the down to earth 484 and I followed the feeding schedule on the box.

The way the soil feeds your plant it’s NPK is through cold composting. There’s active biology that breaks down the organic material into plant available forms. You just have to feed it some more to keep it going. In organic, you think about keeping the soil fed and healthy. But it’s not difficult.

Start there, and if you want to continue, start looking into “living soil”. Start a worm farm from your old root balls like @HRBJr and I have done; it’s a great way to get started on that path. You won’t be able to buy a better fresher soil than the one you can make yourself.

Thanks everyone for all the input. Think I’ll start slow, burn through the rest of my FF stuff, maybe try some top dressing with some organics. Maybe on my next run I’ll try to go full organic. There’s so much to learn and every grow is just a page in the book.

Whats a nutes? I all my life, Epsom salt , planting with tomatoes and marigolds , molass provide mixedwit water .7 dust as needed mricogrow . 50 years. Now i paid out the ass between 30 seeds i have 7 plants , 1 from frist 10 seeds, almost lost twice. 5 from my buy10 get 10 and a roge sed i found by cance rolling one. The exspice of chemicals i cant access muxture or schudles seams to make thme worsc not better .and the fancy light has no instruction s. Panic attack one after another. Ilm did replace the 1st package that was list in the mail.

I had good results with the fox farm trio. Just feel like there is a little more leeway when using organics. I think :thinking:
