You still need nutes/ferts. You just need organic ones, i.e. Nature's Care Veg, Fruit, and Flower food, and amendments like bone meal, blood meal, dolomite lime, etc.

Sure, but not if you want good product, although some people do turn out good plants. I just can't imagine that it would produce a product superior to a grow that has what a plant needs to eat and grow.

I think you should be more patient. Growing one plant for a single gram, you're paying more for electric and wasting more time than you would buying a dub on the streets. I'd say veg it for a full month and get out of it what you really should consider putting into it. I went a month and a half in veg.

66% chance of female unfeminized, roughly.

When it gets bigger, like 3 weeks to a month, it can take much more "abuse" so to speak, so it'll be easier to feed without fucking it up, since you're going organic.

So if it hermies for some reason, i can still make buds from it? if im correct i just need to cut the sacs off to prevent seeds?

Don't sweat it, at least you have a better, cooler, more neutral substrate. NC potting mix isn't soil, it's a mixture of coco coir, sphagnum peat moss, and yucca with trace amounts of chicken shit, blood meal, bone meal, and a few other things for better generativity. It says "feeds up to 2 months" or something, but has no slow release ferts, and your plant will probably use it all in 3 weeks, which is when I'd begin at 1/4-1/2 nutes (Get NC's Veg, Fruit and Flowet food, and get the bone and blood meals for amemdments, but use the blood meal especially sparingly until you see how your plant reacts. Blood meal can quickly N-tox any plant set up at 13-0-0, particularly hot, but good for veg as an amendment.)

You can use it by itself, but you need ferts. Period. You just won't need them until week 3, mostly. Otherwise, your product more than likely will not turn out the best. Why put time in and receive mediocre results?

Soil means dirt that is nutritious in itself for the plant. The potting mix, in my opinion is much better.

Any organic setup, you need organic matter and microbes. The microbes eat the organic matter and shit out what your plant takes up into its roots. So for an organic setup, you would need nutes especially. The VFF has both in it. Rhizobacillus species, in particular, is the species they use.

You can skip the blood meal if you want, and although I'd recommend against it, you can skip the bone, too. But you need to get the VFF food.
