Living soil mix and feeding help please!

Thank you bro!!! This was more of a response someone with my expertise level can understand. Not that the other responses were bad this one is just what I was looking for.

When do you start feeding? Was told autos don’t require much nutrients

Edited my other response

Autos can go with what I mentioned above for the length of veg. Depends on veg length you get, but top dress again a week or two after, they weirdly do a veg-stretch-preflower, all-in-one, phase.

People mistake that for flowering, but it’s more like their form of transition. When you see this happening a couple weeks in, top dress, as stated above. Do not stop feeding, nitrogen, as they are still vegetatively growing, in their weird way.

After you’re in actually flower, key weeks are in this chart. You must address the needs starting 2 wks before needed uptakes.


Ie. You’ll need a boost of calcium and magnesium starting on 2.5-3. That means it is needed during transition amending to be available.

This single transition, top dress will carry an auto until wk4 with using enzymes (hygrozyme) to break down. Then you need to worry about the P-K.

This would be you next amending with CB. Add a tbs each more FBM, Lang, OF & GYP. Get some potash (potassium sulfate) and a high K, black strap molasses for finishing.

Bookmarked and will do this may grow, not certain about the other amendments due to price but this is a solid cycle to follow. Hopefully getting seeds today

Buy GYP at a farm store. It’s cheap. Like $10 for 50#
Same for alfalfa, get gerbil or hamster pellet food at the box stores or farm place (tractor supply, rural king)
Down to Earth sells 5# boxes, OMRI listed, at a great price. Those boxes would give you many grows.

Many mixes have what you need ‘ish
