The Dr. Earth looks good man. Get the Bloom and Grow versions if you wanna go that route.
I love using dry amendments, but I wanna control what microbes go in. So I don't use stuff that has certain added microbes. I just like to add my own microbes when I want.
This stuff is a great topdressing. And I mix it with other stuff depending on what I feel like the plants want.
BuildASoil Craft Blend - Nutrient Pack
BuildASoil Craft Blend started with a big workshop full of the best and cleanest soil amendments available. I quickly became spoiled and would use all of the BuildASoil ingredients together and in different combinations that aren't available here online. After discussing re-amending with a buddy...

You're main issue's gonna be lack of light. If you want fat buds they need plenty of light.

Were they something like Jobe spikes or something else?

I feel the light issues.. I currently have the light 8 inches from the canopy. The problem was I am growing in a nutrient rich soil... Miracle Gro and had the nute spikes in for the added nitrogen. But it was pretty much all the way through her bud development phase and I didn't do anything fast enough. The plant looks like it'll produce maybe 2ouncesThe Dr. Earth looks good man.

My next grow will definitely be better though. It sure beats my half ounce plants I got from CFL growing lol

I'm not sure.. The plant was given to me by a coworker and he said it was about 3 months. I was like SWEET.. But it turned out to just be a 5 foot stretched out string bean lol so I broke the stem in half and pulled branches down to created a SOG effect

Looks like a lemon tree I tried growing in the desert once.

If you must use MG soil find their organic line. Natures care Organic is good to use.I feel the light issues.. I currently have the light 8 inches from the canopy.

You’d better have a helluva lot of light or you get popcorn.

The current plant is under a 150 w hps. Today my 600w hps came in the mail! Thursday my 4x4 will be here as well. I'm too excited

I'm using the same soil, it's great stuff. I don't plan on using many nutrients until flowers.

For the seedling phase, I plan on using no nutrients until I transplant into the 3 gallon pot from a solo cup. Then I will mix my compost, worm castings, some all purpose 4-4-4, perlite into a bag of FFOF then fill 4 3 gallon pots with that mix. Ill be watering with liquid seaweed/liquid kelp with molasses in plain filtered water not Ph'd

You are going to add nutrients to FFOF? lol......
I concur. A three month veg would create a massive plant. I typically veg for eight weeks, and that's a struggle sometimes. With some strains I have to do several toppings and cuts to maintain shape, and other strains I have to limit vegging to six weeks because the plants become way too unruly (my Sour Diesel can easily get to six feet tall and nearly four foot wide with an eight week veg). If I went for 12 weeks, I'll bet they'd grow to 8-10' tall.

I am. Not for the seedling phase. Once it’s about 1 month old I’ll transplant and give more nutes.

FFOF is some hot shit. I dont know if i would add anything. Ive never personally grown with it but the stuff i use is similar and it burnt my plants pretty good just straight out of the bag.

FFOF is hot enough to start man. Just top dress after a few weeks.
Damn Joe, I was in the middle of typing. You're fast, lol.
