Hi all. I am new to soil and organics. This is what i've put together. Can you lovely people please give me feedback?
1 bag FF Ocean Forest (1.5 cubic ft) Added perlite to 35%.
1/4 bag FF Light Warrior (0.25 cubic ft)
4 cups EWC
1 cup dolomite lime
1/2 cup Azomite
Are these ratios ok? More of anything? Anything to add, like extra bone meal or kelp meal being as i'm not sure of the quantities in FFOF? Looking at the NPK with FFOF, it seems to be high in N but a bit light on P and K. Would it see me through flower without any deficencies? I was planning on keeping them in Light Warrior as long as possible in 1 gal smart pots and supplementing with Floralicious Plus and teas before putting them in the Ocean Forest that way it would see me through the flowering transition and the initial high N intake at least.
I was planning on watering with equal parts of dechlorinated tap water and RO water that would come out at about 100ppm and ph 7. Or are my minerals and elements, especially Calcium, covered enough with the dolomite and azomite to be able to feed straight RO? Every other watering with Floralicious Plus (I have a ton that is going unused) and basic EWC tea.

leonardite.
20% Sea Kelp derived from Ascophyllum

To be honest, i'm a bit disappointed I started my own mix before I saw the kisorganics nutrient pack. That stuff looks spot on.
Any guidance from you guys would be great!
