Been about 3 weeks since i started my first auto grow AND my first super soil grow. Plants are looking good, showing no signs of deficiencies ect (expect one is growing like a weed and one isnt lol). My question is would it be beneficial to do compost teas or add anything extra to my soil for larger growth/yield? The fertilizer im using is pretty jammed packed full of amazing stuff and its mixed with FFOF which is also a great soil so i wasn’t sure if their was anything i should do or add to make it that much better. Thanks in advance.

The best way to know what is in the soil though would be to just water until you get some runoff and test it for TDS/EC. This will give you an idea of what’s left in the soil. If you compare your results a few times in a row, you should see trends that will give you an idea of how the plants are eating, and if you need to add anything. Especially with autos, you want to be careful not to over feed the plants and stunt them. Less is more, in most cases. The exception to that would be during flowering, you may want to add some teas or top dress some fertilizers or supplements to help ‘boost’ them. You will see different traits in different plants, even from the same batch of seeds. They are different phenotypes within the strain/hybrid, expressing themselves, much like different kids from the same parents.
Just keep watching the plants, and learn their language. If there’s a problem, they’ll let you know…and in soil, you have some ‘buffer’ time to deal with it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
