SOIL 1st grow Lots of blunders

[Crowdad]

I think a lot of my mistakes come from assuming things. My latest assumption was that all super soils are packed with enough nutrient power to last a good long time. It turns out some super soils are more super than others. The particular SS I'm using (Blue Sky organics) has timed out on me. I spoke to the master grower from the company today and he told me it's only intended for a four week vegetative period and it must be supplemented with organic additives after a time. It lasted about 8 weeks for me. I spend two weeks fussing with water and tea and ph (which was helpful) but he real problem was likely the soil. I'm 10 weeks from germination and still in veg. I don't want to switch before I get a handle on the problem which is taking time. The flower period for this strain is 11-12 weeks. Can I still save this with tea and organic additives?

Hi again, I'm still learning about this stuff myself I wish I had more for ya here's a couple more links that could help you out. Kis has some really good ideas and stuff that I can only say sounds good because all I've ever bought from them is potassium silicate and aloe flakes. It shipped and showed up right away.

Good morning I follow the recipe for super soil found here on Gwe ,What exactly is the problem and can you take a picture of the plants 10 weeks is a long time to veg you must be training the hell out of them lol

It looks like a few different types of deficiencies going on. I posted some photos earlier under the title; Water,water everywhere. Yes indeed, I am training the hell out of them. In some cases I'm using their own branches for a scrog. I've managed to wrestle them down to about 1 foot high which might be a little too high if they triple in size from there. If they get higher than 32 inches I'll have to bust them out of the tent for the last few weeks. I picked up some fertilizer called Fert-Alive from Blue Sky which is intended to bolster their "super soil" for a longer grow. Pheww! buyer beware. I almost made my own soil last summer but I didn't have the storage and didn't realize you could half the recipe.

The KIS stuff looks good but it appears to be un obtainable up here in Canada. Any Canadians using super soil that can last over five months?

I've used this stuff before and it was well recommended to me.
