Super soil nutrient concern

[speakheavy]

I’m working on my own super soil.
Currently I have this in mind:

35% aeration (1/2 inch hydroton)
35% peat moss
5% Oly mountain fish compost
7.5% wiggle worm castings
7.5% composted cow manure
10% top soil

Top soil:
1 part peat moss
1 part orchid bark
1 part coarse sand
2 parts dried sphagnum moss

With 1 cup of down to earth granulated Azomite mixed in per 5 gallons (I have 5 gallon smart pots)

Any input on my soil formula is appreciated and will be taken into consideration however that’s not the reason for this post, I use GH flora series (full advanced lineup) for my plant food currently (currently just using regular promix.) I’m concerned if I retain the same dosages for my nutrients I’m using now combined with everything in the soil I may burn the plants since there’s going to be a lot of nutrients already in the soil. Do you guys think I should back down on the nutrients and give them like half strength and see how they like it? Or 1/4 strength?

Attached is my current feed schedule for reference, it’s very close to the stock GH feeding schedule with a few small adjustments.

Two different ways of growing IMO. If you are making a super soil the purpose of that is to supply everything the plant needs in the soil, so all you need do is water. Google subcool super soil or clackamas coots to get an idea of the types of amendments you will need.

Yooooooo hold up for one or two moments to talk this through....Let’s just consider intended use / uptake & size of root system, environmental conditions, heat, feeding schedule, and again...environmental conditions and plant root system....

Why are you using / and or adapting an outdoor soil mix geared towards and established plants. If you want to simplify consider top feeding with a “supersoil” at the bottom. But again. Indoor you play god.

Give em everything in doses and see how they react, yes it’s a weed but it’s also a fruiting plant which deserves the diligent science of observation and data collection to understand each strain which has individual feeding needs.

Keep a detailed feeding journal for Both veg state and flower. You will love yourself ten fold when you wana run a fat table or 1/2
acre of that strain.

Happy growing

Super soil should only be top dressed every so often I can usually make it to about 4 weeks in flower before I need to top dress. And like midnight warrior stated you are defeating the purpose of super soil if you have a feeding schedule.

Why are you using nutrients with supersoil?

Never use chemical nutes with super soil...ever...dont you dare dump that GH doodoo on some good organic soil, get some bone meal, blood meal, alfalfa meal, and kelp meal for lawds sake. You also probably shouldnt use hydroton, go for lava rock, perlite, and/or pumice
