Did I order enough nutes? 80 gallons soil?

i ordered the entire advanced nutrients line on Amazon. I typed 15 gallons into there calculator because that what I was going to do for hydro. But things changed and now I'm gunna be in soil. I will have like 8'plants max in 5 gallon buckets, and 2-4 in 10 gallons. If not 4 ten gallons then the other two will go into stand alone 5 gal buckets with like 2-3 gallons water.
I'm using just right lite formula 420 for soil and will have 1900 watts in flower
I know this can't be pinpointed exactly but I'm just asking if I ordered AROUND enough. Is it possible I might be done buying nutes for this grow?

So short version with no fluff added, how many plants? Pot sizes? Veg time? And what volume of nutrients do you have?

If your growing in good quality soil you don't really need much nutes at all. So you will have nutes for ever lol

This is what I ordered, I'm growing 12. 4 in hydro had root rot so I replanted in soil (2 I'm debating keeping in hydro) 2 from hydro are already in 10 gallon smart pots.
5 are in 5 gallon plastic pots and have been in soil forever and 2 are in like 2 gallon pots and one is in like a gallon pot
I have plants of all ages the oldest if from early November. I know it's bad to have different sizes but someone gave me a bunch of clones and I only have one grow room ATM.
I can post a pic of the plants in a second

I want to flower like this week. This would give me 15 gallons of nutes per week
Ya that should be lots. Remember, soil is nothing like hydro, you dont need to feed at every watering. That soil is going to have lots of nutrients in it already. most guys that go from hydro to soil over feed bigtime the first run.

Cool thanks dude, makes me feel good that this might be one of the last investments for this grow. Sucks that I had to switch I think I'm keeping atleast one in hydro maybe two just cuz I don't want to just give up after all the work. The roots weren't doing two bad. One had some slime on it again but mostly washed off. You think maybe I just toss that one in soil while it's still healthy. (It's probably going to be my favorite strain growing ATM, it's that tiny one left in the hydro system, Moonshines ghost train haze.) the big one in the hydro 5 gallon bucket normal dwc has some really white roots coming in. I was ready to switch it over today but decided not to.

your plants look really healthy and well grown but you room is really disorganized

if you spent more time setting up the room and deciding what plant go where, you half the plant count, soil, nutes, plant waste at the end of each grow and you could pull a higher yield

Ya id transplant it while its still healthy. No use in waiting for problems that you know are coming. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback, I know it's a mess lol. I can get the big system out of there today. I didn't expect this many plants but someone kept giving me clones. I kind of like having a room packed completly full tho. Less wasted light.
I'm also in the middle of transplanting things over to soil so it looks messier. I didn't remove the old buckets in the system but I added 10 gallon smart pots so I need to get that system out when lights come on. I have like 1900 watts so I'm expecting a decent yeild. Atleast 1.5 pounds maybe 2
