Super soil question?

Ive got a couple plants in bagged tga super soil, and tga base soil. I was wondering if there was anything I could add to my watering schedule. Such as, bush drs root drench or microbe brew. Maybe some botanicare cal-mag, they also make a grape sweetener. I'm looking for a store bought item to add a little extra boost. I just finished up my 6 week veg cycle and switched to 12:12 today, any suggestions?

Well I know I can use what I want, I'm just not sure what I can use. This is my first time using super soil. Is it safe to use bush drs products, I have some of that from previous grows. Or should I not bother adding anything, then when I'm at 4 weeks flowering, add my top dressing layer of super soil?

Look up farmerjohn420 on youtube. Id add a acct every 3rd watering and later on in fkower top dress more soil because they will most likely have exhausted their supply on a few. I would say look into molasses too, them sweetners are nasty, organics will bring out your true flavors.i have my area hating hydro weed w my organic carmelo. Stuff smells and taste so good. No dealer has tthe quality that you can grow. Good luck. Supersoil makes some beastie plants. I make my own and barely feed them liquid nutes. If anything stuff aimed fior health or microbials.

That's what that bush drs is for, roots and microbes. Just not sure if it's okay to use that stuff with s.s. When you say that sweetners are nasty, you mean that in a good or bad way ha?

That's what I'm trying to get to. Am I better of just using nothing but water, or should I add anything that I can just purchase at my local hydro shop. I just flipped them into 12:12. Should I add like a cup or 2 of s.s., or wait until I'm 4 weeks into flowering then hit them with about 4 cups worth. This is just my first run using s.s. So I still have lots to learn.

NO bottled shit, especially if it doesnt say Organic on it, it WILL kill your soil life. If anything, a little mollassas, SUPER diluted fish hydrolysate, or some diy plant based "teas"... Again, less is more.
Main thing is keeping your soil life thriving... In the best Organic meds, your really more growing great soil life, and amazing dank plants are the side effect. ;-)

On the top dressing, wait till week 3 of flower... if you see ANY yellowing at that point, top dress then. If not, let them ride and again, feed the Microb herd, not the plants.

Would the stump tea on htg supply suffice for feeding the soil, or should I not even bother getting it? Then just when I'm at 3-4 weeks flowering, top dress it with more s.s.

My super soil mixture really keeps the plants healthy through out flower. Some lower leaves yellow, but that is from lack of light. At 3 to 4 weeks into flower, I start my tea regiment. Feed every three waterings, until final week. Since I use RO water, I add CalMag after 1 month.

Stump Tea will work fine. Saves you the trouble of making your own tea.

image.jpg Maybe with this picture, some one could tell me what I could add to my water to help with whatever that problem is. It's on the bottom of the plant, and it feels sort of crispy.
