Preparing soil for repotting with liquid fertilizers

Hey guys.


I live in South America and dont have access to all the cool products from the USA. So i went out and tried my best
to create a good soil mix for my OUTDOOR grow. I bought some organic compost soil, some EWC and some Vermiculite+Perlite. In addition
to this I bought some Mycorrhiza. My Plan is to mix all that together and add some organic fertilizer, which probably
will be defined as semi-organic as its liquid (but says organic). Its the only thing i could find.
The fertilizer I have are in 3 different bottles. 1. says Nitrogen and Aminoacids, 2. says Potassium and Amino and 3. says
Nitrogen and Phosphorus. On the bottle there are directions to what quantities per gallon/liter to use.
My question is how would you experienced growers add it to the soil and do you think I am on the right path here with all my components?
FYI I have 1 week old seedlings that I am starting out under CFL lights before exposing them outdoors and potting them in to bigger pots
with the soil-mix i am trying to create. So how do I prepare my soil with liquid fertilizers before planting or is not a good idea?

cheers

Generally liquid fertilizer is mixed with water according to directions and applied as a solution when you water.

hi delahxze, welcome to RIU

I'm no expert on your question but my thoughts are it would not be a good idea to prepare the soil with fertilizers because your baby plants will likely react poorly to the nutes.

I would suggest just starting them in basic plain soil (with some perlite/vermiculite) for at least 2 or 3 weeks, then mix your nutes in the water that you feed them

thanks for the quick response! I guess I am going to wait 4 weeks more, that is when I plan to flower it.
What do you think about the composition of my soil?
