Do organic fertz kill microbes in soil??

That's what I meant. When ffof runs out, top dress it with dry amendments. And also feed her aact. Is this possible?

That's what I do besides the ffof.. I made my own soil from a soilless medium and amended it myself now I juat feed tea and foliar spray ...was wondering what would happen to my micro biology if I used "organic" LIquids as a little extra boost though lol

Good to know, but if I used up all the nutes wouldn't it be safe for me to add microbial life?
Can totally add Ffof to your super soil it is organic read the bag lol don't listen to him I know plenty dudes who tips ffof in worth roots organic for the strong amendments in it

you don't want to run your soil till it's dead, then add life. your soil is alive and you need to keep it alive so it keeps your plant healthy. using bottled nutes is using readily available nutirents. Organic soil needs to work and break down organic matter to supply to plant.

So how would I go about reamending my soil if I wanted to start up directly after I harvest this outdoor batch... will my soil all be "alive" so I don't have to amend as much or is it soomthing I can't even do and takes time?

This is good info right here i didn't know tht my babies get rain alot hope the microbiology still good rmember happy medium equal a happy plant
not much worries outdoors with unimpeded drainage, constant air exchange, bug/bird/ shit, unlimited amount of worms/fungus/beneficial bacteria. outdoors rocks!

Thanks boss I don't need to read I've been all over that thread I was just curious on that question too seeing I know a guy who used lIquid bone meal a "organic" extract or whatever an he has the same exact soil as me and says it does only beneficial to his micro biology I disagreed that's why I didn't add it but his plants out grew mine so now I'm wondering
You didn't read enough. You still aren't understanding how organics work. Bone meal wouldn't make his plants out grow yours.

Sorry dude. Its not organic. Its not omri. They use ammonium nitrate.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Might want to listen. I know my shit.

Right, thanks bro. Call me lazy but I just don't want to mix any soil. Too many ingredients to buy then u cook it for a month. Plus ffof really is a good soil despite what others say.

This is because of misinformation spewed by marketing campaigns and just general lack of education regarding plant science and nutrition.


I was going to jump in to this thread last night, but its too fucked, ive got too much going. God bless you @whitebb2727 , you are a good man.

OP really needs to do more reading... gain a better understanding overall

OMRI don't mean shit..... really it don't.

Stick with that fox farm,add dry a food,after a few runs with it,you will start to use less bottle food/teas/fermented shit....

It varies by region because they re so big now and its not omri so you have no idea what they put in it.

They no longer claim their soil to be organic on their site.

Ill agree that omri can be cheated but with out it there is no garuntee what's in the soil and fox farms no longer claims it to be organic and reports of ammonium nitrate being used floating around.

If that's what the op has run it and amend with marine cuisine or something.

That and it wouldn't hurt for the op to do more reading.

Thats probably the best bet, marine cuisine or epsoma plant tone or something. Ive grown nice looking plants with both those products!
