Just a question i decided to not use the miracle grow soil no more its a lil pricey for me im on a budget. Now my 1 female is in the miracle grow doing just fine will post a couple pics. I just got this organic humus an manure mix ratio 0.05-0.05-0.05 i want to have an all natural grow except for the lighting which i have mine set for 6 am and off at 6 pm but usually put it in the sun at around 10 am and for the rest of the day would this be a good organic mix to start with? It jst seems a little low in nutes for cannabis.

Thanks

remember that NPK rating isn't as concentrated as a nutrient.
You'd have a LOT of that in your mix, which would obviously make that number higher in the overall nutrient content.
Humus is a soil base as oppose to a nutrient.
Everything is predicated on what you have in your mix.
Also if miracle grow is too pricey?
well... organics won't be cheaper, not at first. In the long run, of course, but not at first.

Well this organics bag was actually only $2 for a 40 lb bag i post a pic im just wondering caus its more like just brown/black sand and some mulch. Its prolly some shit cheap stuff idk tell me what you think through the pic. But either way imma end up using some when spring hits for a veg garden. Now another question is would it be better to mix the organic with a smaller bag of soil?

that's fine to use, but you'll need to cut it with something.
I'd use it, but sparingly.
Get a bag of another soil mix, and add about a quarter of that humus/manure mix to each bag, BUT remember to match the amount of the humus wth aeration.
In other words, if you use all that humus/manure, you'll be wise to get an equal amount of aeration, as well as cutting it 75% with an established soil mix (not promix)
You follow me man?

Ok thats what i thought im still kinda new ive grown before just always got males and i would just pull them up and the female i have now is my 1st female ever so im pretty happy with her right now. Now my next fem im gonna top and do all the other things to get more yield. This was just my 1st female and im sure everyones first female is there pride and joy all of it is but that 1st 1 is special so i didnt want to try topping it or nothin i just let her grow straight up. Has a little nitro burn on the leaves not to much just the tips which to me isnt a big deal really otherwise she is happy
