word I check into it every once in a while, I used to be on a huge organic no-till kick a while back. The Rev wrote an entire book on it that another gardener around these forums shared with me, it's got some good tidbits in it and some pretty pictures. I even had an indoor garden bed or two that I ran for 4 or 5 cycles with a few added amendments.
I haven't had much time to chime in on the organics forums lately as I've mainly been messing around with a few different bottled nutes in Fox Farm ocean forest w/ EWC, organic but focusing on producing more. Also doing a soilless run with organic based nutrition which is going well so far. Hope to have some good journals on that soon.
Unfortunately in container gardening roots will eat up most of the nutrition that is provided to them and P availability can be lackluster. As soon as one of the micro or macros is not accounted for, plant processes will no longer continue as they were supposed to and the roots have no place to find extra resources from. At least for me, I have always needed to add extra bottled nutes to make sure that everything is growing as intended. Once you have root bound up a pot and expended many of the resources your plant almost needs nutrition like a hydro plant does, especially if you have utilized the humus / buffering sources in that soil. I'm really starting to push out good numbers on the indoors plants by treating them more like a hydro grow (feed feed half str feed), once they fill out the pot.
Now outdoors in the veggie garden, it's a different story... Haven't had to touch the soil since last time I ammended, just dug up the top 6" of soil and amended with gypsum, bone/blood meal, steer manure, and compost... rotating crops with the seasons and letting nature do her thing out there
There's generally a good layer of dead material constantly decomposing in there as well and a very healthy worm population. It's also where all the kitchen scraps get chucked. If I had the time / space I'd probably start doing all those little things here like vermicomposting and building my soils ahead of time. For now I just look at the FFoF, EWC and bottled nutes as a cost of doing business and a way for me to save a little time.

Soilless mix, compost and a good carbohydrate source is the key to "perfect" meds. I have had and tried many methods and it's what suits my patients and anyone who has experienced it the best. Keep on keepin on headtreep I like where your heads at

Basically the point of that ROLS thread. Sorry if I misspoke on Mr.Rize nothing wrong with mentors. Bird, it's good to know we are on the same path.Soilless mix, compost and a good carbohydrate source is the key to "perfect" meds.

Buds looked okay, but plants from the same source, grown at the same time with 1000 watts produced 3-4 oz more with 4 plants in each grow. They looked the same but I think the better light coverage reached lower buds with more watts.
below is jilly bean at 8 weeks, I let them go another 10 days before cutting, drying the curing:
