Soil and Nutrients

[nmbfer8971]

Hi I have been using worm castings as my nutrients to feed to my clones. I did research on the castings and they say it help air flow and has nitrogen in it. I use Vermatea as the company for the worm castings. I was wondering if this is enough nutrients for the plants or is better to get the fox farm bottle nutrients and feed those instead. If I do switch will there be a huge affect. I first mixed the worm castings with the fox farm soil in the pic below. Then when I planted the clone I sprinkled a little into the hole where the roots where placed. I then sprinkled worm castings on the top soil as well watering if after. Is this enough nutrients or is more needed to have bigger yields.

That should be plenty for now. Never used Fox farm but many have - read the info to find out how long you have to wait before adding any other nutrients.

For larger yields, you need to feed your plant like an athlete.
I use the entire FF line up with the ocean forest soil. I also add Fish Sh!t for additional benificial bacteria. And sulfur free black strap molasses. I get great results like that.

Thanks for the information. Do you know the amounts I should use and a schedule of when to feed them

Yes... this is from their website.
I try and flow it as closely as possible. But I skip the flush part because I only feed the girls nutes once per week.

Toker1 how long have you used the "Fish sh!t"? A local grow shop has been handing the stuff out free, so I am giving it a go. My girls seem to like it, though I have not done a side by side comparison,,,

I started adding it this summer. Got great results from the last few grows. Happy with that product.
