Thoughts on providing enough nutrients in the soil...
Renov8tionstarted grow question 4 years ago
Thoughts on providing enough nutrients in the soil for the plant to uptake as needed; rather than feeding while watering? According to Ed Rosenthal if you start with a rich enough medium, you don't have to feed. This is my current method, as I am still a noob. Gracias friends.

Hey ,
You can use rich soils out there or do a living soil of your own making. Usually the cheapest way is buying bulk ingredients from a farm supply store, feed and seed type place. The great thing with that is you can continually reuse your soil. However you'll need to reammend the soil after each grow.
As for making through a whole grow without needing to add anything....you might if it's a relatively short grow. But for longer grows you'll probably need some form of top dressing. Mr. Bs greentrees is a pre designed mix of veg or bloom. Or kisorganics.com has some good recipes/tips/and products for sale(dry products that feed over time).
Good luck.✌️

Of course it can be done and I think I'm going to go that approach next time. Although I would still have some basic nutes around just incase. 🌱👍

That's how I grow. I only top dress if necessary otherwise start to finish water only. Peace

Look up how 710 Labs makes their ‘living soil’ on their website. Works great especially for autoflowers.

Well, we continue to learn new things everyday. I use the tried and true method of feeding while watering. Just because you can’t better suit the needs of your plants. They need different stuff at different times, and sometimes bad things happen that need corrected. If that happens, and you need to flush, you defeat everything you’ve done. Just my take though.

Which fertilizer should be used in the early flowering stage?There is an autoflower plant that has just started to bloom. I water twice a week, one with fertilizer and one without fertilizer. Do you think it should be switched to bloom fertilizer at this stage, or should grow fertilizer be given for another week since it is still growing?

Watering/feeding cadenceThanks for reading. Currently watering/feeding 0.5l every 24 hours. Routinely. Light mix is pretty much dry by the time it comes to the next feed. Getting about 10 ml runoff maybe with each soak. Should I double the volume and water/feed every 48 hours instead? Does it matter? Xx

Correct feeding schedule / having trouble determining when I should feed my plants in Flower.My Purple Haze plant doesn't seem to like high nutrient content. At this point, feeding it once per week will only burn the plant.
Is it okay that haven't really added much nutrients at all over the past few weeks? I will continue to not add nutrients until I see deficiency?Week 5
