I have a mixture of
Coco Loco
Alfalfa meal
Kelp meal
Fish bone
Azomite rock dust
Worm castings
Has been cooking for 2 weeks now. Will this be a good mixture to transplant plants on week 6ish of veg into for their final 10 gal pots?
For top dressing during flower I have Roots Organic bloom boost with lots of K. Dr Earths 3-9-4 and is there anything else I could use in that top dress? I am trying to really get these organics down! Am I missing anything essential here?

Added some pictures of most recent harvests and some new plants getting the mainline treatment! Much love!

I don't see many people pull off coco with organic dry amendments.

I ran out of peat moss for this one, so it was ran in Coco coir/compost mix with dry amendments (kelp, alfalfa, Neem and coconut meal at 1/2 cup per 30L). Haven't seen it done with straight Coco before, but I'd like to give it a go when I've got more room. It did get a bit deficient towards the end, but I'd say that was due with no top dressing and lacklustre feeding schedule. You could see the interveinal chlorosis starting in the pic, as it had been on tap water for 7 weeks at that time, but I don't think that was due to it being Coco/compost instead of peat/compost, more my shitty feeding (or lack of).

Not bad at all. Do you have a pic just before chop?

I've got this from 13 days before pull. I had to pull this one early due to mould starting on the lower buds. It was in a closet, and I made no effort to circulate air properly.

Those needed way longer than 13 days. And why no fans?

They needed about 4 weeks from early pull, and fiv weeks from the photo posted, but mould was taking over the bottom quick. I meant it was taken 13 days before I pulled the plant early, with four weeks left. Buds were immature as.

I had three other plants going that I was prioritising at that stage, so they got the fans lol..I was running out of space and material quickly. I moved it into the closet in the tent with nothing but the exhaust fan and a tiny 10cm fan down the bottom...didn't expect it to mould so quick, but it should have been obvious I was recirculating the same air in the closet. Mould set in overnight.
