Listen ! Your soil is pre-fertilized , that means you don’t need to add any extra nutrients for about 4 weeks after each transplanting !
You will realize that you will almost never use your Veg nootz in a crop when you grow in soil , maybe just once or twice maximum if you transplant only once in middle of Veg this is where you will be using your Veg nootz for the first 3 weeks after the switch to 12/12 to support the stretch !
You must understand that nutrients company won’t be making any profits if they were selling soil only , you see what I mean ? This is why they pull out insane feeding schedules based on utopian scales !
Plants are Autotrophic ! As they can’t move to get there food they must create their own based on symbiosis with bacteria’s in the soil !
Nutrients are just used to enhance a good grow ! It’s easy food ready to serve ! As they don’t need to process it to be available for the roots !
Those spots are Phosphorus excess ! At this stage seedlings seek for Phosphorus, as the N is stocked in the cotyledons and K is only used in the flowering stage !
So ! Don’t freak out bro 😊 You just need to transplant them in a bigger pot , around 1.5l pot to start the Veg and you will be transplanting again later in their final pots after 4 weeks in the 1.5l pot. Your mix is good enough to use only plain pH’ed water , which is really cool as you have no mixing nootz to do . You will be using only your Bloom nootz mostly and saving a lot on your Veg nootz .
RO water is like rain water , it shall be around 20ppm max between 7.0 to 7.2 pH . But as you’re growing in soil , and will be transplanting twice in your crop , you might probably need some Mag/Sulfur by the end of flowering but you will realize there’s everything in your bottle of Bloom nootz 😉
