im not sure if you will have to top dress or even add anything into the living soil for quite some time. even in ocean forest, i wait to top dress until after a couple of weeks because the soil has enough for the plants for the time being. with living soil i would assume this will last even longer(the need without nutrients)

Seems like a great line to be running with. I personally do use a schedule when doing living soil, my microbes get a regular and consistent boost every few weeks. Just remember that your living soil web usually lags about three weeks behind in delivery/accessibility to the plant. So, for example, when I would flush living soil (an artform in and of itself) the timeline would extend five or more weeks back from cut (stopping 5 weeks early, running the soil down three weeks, two week flush). Don't overthink living soil. There is a ton of information out there but just remember that every little bit of dirt you've ever touched outside is living soil. Soil in the true sense of the word is living soil. Living soil in cannabis just means growing with normal dirt, and the mechanism of microbe consuming inputs and outputting your plant inputs rather than adulterating a molecule to a form which does not typically exist in nature just to ram it down the plant's throat. Basically, you have some FIRE products you're working with. Living soil when done right will aid in natural pest prevention, natural pH control, natural heat resilience, and a minimum of nutrient inputs. Be sanitary if you are indoors (way easier said than done, trust me) and get prepared to fall in love with living soil. You'll quickly see why some of these old heads have 15-20 year old living soil beds that pump of flame. Anecdotally, the only crops I have seen lab results for in these parts over 4% terps EVERY TIME are the region's living soil kings (in a quad-state region).

HI bud. It sounds like you have the steps all thought out. They don't look particularly wrong to me. Best not to depend on the timeline though but see it as a guideline. When the plant goes into the next stage, X can be done. That doesn't necessarily mean it will be in two weeks nor every three weeks. Hope this helps, even a little.
