Water until you get run off to be sure there isn't some gross build up. Then use compost tea or earth worm castings tea or slurry or compost/ewc top dressing to make sure your microbes are kicking. When they're established and happy your pH will be good.

I haven't seen the Rose and Flower before, but I love their fish hydro and kelp extract. That looks like it would be great for flowering, I'm going to have to get some of that. I use 2 teaspoons of the 2-4-0 (fish hydro) and 2 teaspoons of 0-0-1 (kelp extract) per gallon of water in flower, so...

When flowering starts, maybe two weeks into flower. Just kind of in general, the longer your plants have been in the final pots, the sooner you'll need to feed them. If your pots are very "small" or your plants are very "large" you'll need to feed sooner. Huge plants that have been in small...

Rapid rooters or peat pellets or "plugs" are cool. And you can do soil things like using compost tea or microbe products to wet the rapid rooters for better results.

Yeah, usually you make your own compost tea, to get a bunch of microbes from the compost into the water and then into your soil. If you just use compost or earth worm castings(plus a little kelp/ molasses for the microbes) you just get microbe tea. This is fine for small plants, there's...

I would 100% Not use the lengbeinite. That stuff is pretty strong and a ton of K, all at once can yellow your leaves and make them drop off of a big plant, let alone a tiny young one. A pinch of neem may be OK but I've read on here that it can kill off microbes and damage young plants, so do...

It's OK. If it's dried out, wet it down a few days before you plan to use it. If you're really worried about it, top dress with compost or earth worm castings or use compost/EWC tea when you put it in pots.

I would Veg some plants in your tent with your better lights. Veg fast so you can get to flowering, the good part! Right before you flip to flower take some cuttings for clones. Or you can cut the clones a week or 2 into flower. Whatever is convenient. While your first plants are flowering in...

Maybe try out your plan in pots first. Make sure it's cool, then move on to the beds. Any issues will be easier to fix in individual pots.

They also make granular Compost Starter. It's usually some alfalfa and kelp with bacteria and fungus to jump off the microbes your compost pile.

What does that report tell us? Is ocean forest good?

Some "organic" growers don't like to use any kind of bottles, other guys think they're cool. I haven't used Big Bloom myself, but I've read that other guys do, so that should work OK. The key with liquid fertilizers is not to use too much. Often the recommendations on the bottle are a little...

It's pretty common for soil to run out of gas during flower. Plants take on a hungry, lime green kinda color, then leaves yellow and drop off. If you have more of the Nature's Living Soil concentrated dry nutrient mix you could probably get away with top dressing your plants with some of that...

I think you did pretty well. 5+ oz off an indoor plant is solid work. Next grow, with a little training for a more even canopy and better feeding routine you'll do even better.

Like you, I grow in soil and my plants usually start to fade, getting that lime green color about 3-4 weeks into flower. Healthy plants get hungry. Lately I've been top dressing 3-9-4 flower fertilizer two weeks into flower so that stuff has worked it's way in and started to feed the plants in...

You're going 3:1 metal halide to high pressure sodium. Just from stories on the internet, hps makes denser buds and mh makes fluffier buds. Maybe you could adjust your ratio so it's like 2:1, more how and less mh to get more density. If you're loosing weight to airy buds, and temperatures and...

Neem works great as a top dressing late in veg or early in flower if your plants look a little pale or lacking nitrogen. A few pinches or just a couple teaspoons is usually enough. Kelp is great too. If you don't want to mix it in the soil you can soak some in water and make kelp tea. It's...

I agree with Boatguy and Joe, it's no problem to blend the supersoil with "regular" soil. Or even to mix supersoil with used soil from a previous grow, as a way to reammend. Like a lot of soil growers I started out with supersoil, following subcool's recipe. Mixing it with regular soil to...

What size tent and what size light? If it's that cold and your set-up isn't huge you may just want to scrub and recirculate the air in the room instead of venting it outside.

For a small tent you could try a cheap 6" duct fan from Home Depot. They're way quieter than an inline fan.
