Well if your mixing up everything in your list, your soil is going to be fucking awesome. Way better then mine was on my 1st attempt. As long as your environment is on point, air, water, temp and light. You shouldn't see any deficiency.

Just wanted to add. In my experience with this plant, if you start with good soil your work is 75% done. The grow medium is SO important. With growing outdoors in the ground. I grow the soil, not the plant, the plant just lives there. Tea's are mainly used for organic soils, and they feed and promote the healthy bacteria that lives and grows in the soil. That's why I say, I grow soil not the plant.

My soil is organic right? Lol. What about misting? Is it good bad, what's the point of it?

Yes your soil will be organic, but will take a few months to build up the healthy bacteria. Not much you can do to speed that prosess up, just takes time. Misting with plain water or with water mixed with nutrients does help. The leaves can up take water/nutes. It's a good way to water your plant if the soil isn't yet ready for a full watering, that is, isn't dry enough for its next watering.

So I just let my soil sit for a few months before I plant or the bacteria builds up after I plant?

Misting with nutrients is also called foliar feeding. It can be done, with the right mixture, everyday if you wanted. Not recommend to do this everyday because its your 1st grow, but every 2-3 days would be ok.

No need to let it sit, it will build as your plant grows. Even if you had the soil teaming with microbes. The plant will only take up what it needs, and it doesn't need much for the 1st 4 weeks.

Is it possible to get the color blue on a plant? Like an actual blue not purple?
