    Default How to feed in soil?

    Hello,

    I'm growing two plants on organic soil from my local gardening store, mixed with perlite to help with aeration and drainage. As the soil has nutrients in it already, will I ever need to add top feeds or mix some organic ammendments to the soil when transplanting? I was hoping the soil alone would get me to flowering at least, since I transplant 3 times before flowering, ending with a 5 gallon pot. Should I mix ammendements whenever I transplant? Should I just top feed with worm castings, bat guano or other organic fertilizers when I get to flower? Or should I not feed at all since the soil has already nutes in it?
    Sorry if this seems like a dumb question or anything, its my first grow and I really don't wanna use liquid nutes.

    Thank you!

    I grow in Organic, and I never do nothing but water until later flower, than use some PK to finish out last month of flowering.

    What kind of PK do you use? Liquid or dry ammendments?

    Do you use the recommended dose? I'll take a look into it, and if I decide to administer GH Bloom, I'm thinkin on starting at 1/2 recommended dose.
    Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it

    Yes 5ml to one gallon of water, but I think Half that would do better. Depends on the Plant. I have one that likes 5ml and one that thinks it is over kill. So smart to start out half like you say.

    Might aswell order a micro and grow just in case they need some feeding in veg. You feed once a week or every other watering?

    My plant on the right seems to want more, and the one on the left seems to be happy with 2 1/2 ml.

    They look stunning. They're autos right? I'm growing photos, so they might need some reinforcement of feeding before flower, I'll see how it goes. Guess the PK feeding depends on the plant itself, but thanks for the advice.
    What strains are those?
