Do I need to add nutrients to a premixed soil?
I'm using Cost of Maine Grower's Blend (Silver Bag) and am coming into the 2nd week or so of flowering. Do I need to top dress with any nutrients or is the soil enough on its own? Growing autoflowers in 3 Gallon pots.

Water ph for promix Bx (soiless peat).. also can fert for soil work with promix bx?
Hi, if anyone familiar with promix bx, it is mostly peat so it count as soiless medium. So can I use soil nuts or hydro nuts? I currently only have soil nuts can it work if I adjust it to hydro ph(5.8-6.2)? And should the ph be hydro (5.7-6.2) or soil ph (6.5)? Confused, pls help
