dont get lost in the weeds. many folks do. organics are stupid complex. BUT organics also have guardrails that essentially put the most labor and skill-intensive parts of the grow into 'easy mode'. you dont need to a biologist or botanist or an organic chemist to get a good crop from organics. never confuse those implications. aka just because you had a good pull from living soil, does not imply you were driving that boat proper every day. you can spend years doing organics and not be a master, you can also spend a single organic crop and be harvesting the za of your lifetime. for example, a common build a soil type input is bone or rock dust. these are going to be yearly amendments for anyone working at scale. it just doesnt translate to home growing cannabis unless you are making a bed you plan on tilling for the next decade. i have growmies on here that do indeed use these amendements.... they acid treat the bone and use UV exposure to simulate those yearssssss. regardless, the micros targeted by the rock dust are also available in much more processed forms naturally from seawater concentrates. jimbob throwing bone meal and rock dust into their ocean forest blend is often just pissing in the wind for lack of a better term. most folks are using their soil for 1 or maybe 2/3 cycles for cannabis. anyway, organic chemistry is like that. theres only like a dozen diff things you can even do in o chem. all synthesis paths in the universe are just iterations of those like dozen things. unless you are really trying to build a bed of that nature outdoors, you can skip 9/10 amendments that are popular. if you start with ocean forest, get a microscope, and check your bag once it arrives... likely not that good so have some great white and/or recharge ready to go to innoculate. fire her up. get some sugar. literally anywhere. honey, raw sugar, sugar water, marg mix, urine from a diabetic... etc. then watch how she grows. once you are up on that, start getting into times on fermenting teas. a tea can be brewed for many purposes. microscope comes into play here. once you can fire a bag of ocean forest up and rock it the entire grow and have teas down, there really isnt much else to do. get into some kelp or other phytoho sources, and yeah silica is nice. id prioritize recycling your own refuse from your crop into a nutrient ferment and a separate hormone extract before adding in silica, which should be in abundance in the ocean forest frfr. cannabis is proving to show biomimicry properties just like a human, everything you need is in your refuse from the prior crop at some point in the cycle

Water that lot in with some lactic acid or potassium humate. Silica yes definitely 100%

Humic acid, fulvic acid and amino acid...........all great stimulants. Kelp meal and/or tonic is a great health kick. Volcanic Rock Dust is a great source of micro nutrients/trace elements. Mycorrhizae are awesome! Personally, not a fan of dry amendmants, they are too vague and require the soil be constantly wet to be properly available..............something cannabis does not like. It is much better and more precise to be able to control nutrition with liquid, cannabis specific fertilizers.

WOW LOOK AT DAT!!! IF YOU LOOKING FOR MORE GOODIES I SUGGEST SOME AZOMITE AND ANNELIDA SUPER BIOCHAR!!! DA AZOMITE HAS DA SILICA AND 70 OTHER MINERALS AND TRACE ELEMENTS!!!!

Hey. Sorry for the long response. Your mix is what we call "Hot Soil" (very nutrient-rich soil). Fox Farm Ocean Forest and worm compost are already very rich in nutrients. By adding Gaia Green Bloom and a universal fertilizer right from the start, you’re taking a big risk of nutrient burn on young plants. My suggestions: Universal fertilizer: I recommend dropping it. Gaia Green is an organic slow-release amendment that pairs very well with worm compost. Adding a universal fertilizer (often synthetic) risks throwing off the pH and saturating the medium with salts. Mycorrhizae: This is an excellent idea, even essential with organic amendments like Gaia Green. Mycorrhizal fungi will help break down nutrients to make them available for the roots. Apply them directly to the root ball during repotting. Silica: A very good addition as well. It will strengthen the cell walls, making your stems sturdier to support the weight of the flowers and helping the plant manage heat better. Note: Always add silica first to your pH-adjusted water before any other product. My advice: Your mix already contains a lot of nutrients. If you’re using Gaia Green Bloom (2-8-4), save it for mid/late growth or the beginning of flowering (top-dressing). For starting out, Pro-Mix HP and Ocean Forest will be more than enough for the first 3-4 weeks. I hope I could help you. Have a great day!
