I recommend sticking with one system. Either soiless with liquid nutes, or organic soil.
Mixing them makes it more difficult to control feedings, and correct deficiencies and excess.
Some will probably disagree.

yea im not to sure about the whole feeding stuff so topfeeding with dry amendments every 2 weeks and pure water throughout the crop would be the organic soil????
because i have the floras and they say organic on the bottle but i was told to do 1 water then 1 feed and repeat until my 2 week flush, So if i do that with the flora gro and bloom, and cal-mg, is there any good things i can add to my feed? sorry its probably very obvious i have no understanding of this stuff yet haha

From what I've seen a feed schedule is too much. My feed schedule says feed up to twice a week at full strength but I usually feed somewhere between a week and a half to two weeks at half strength to let my soil dry out enough.

I use promix as well.
It is a good mix to just use liquid ferts. Never tried just top dressing alone. Usually mix in amendments before starting if going that route.
With the liquid nutes i always did a feed, water, water schedule. Fed at 1/2 recommended dosage unless they started getting hungry looking.

It is simplest and easiest to stick with a single brand and their schedule. Mixing throws major unknowns into the mix.
gh nutes i have used, advanced has had good reviews on here. If you want simple, megacrop is a single part all purpose feed. Seems to have a good following.

Those arent a full feed nutrient. would normally be used to supplement an organic grow.
You should keep it simple. Same with the molasses, not a nutrient, it is a feed for microbes in an organic grow.

ok so if im using the Flora Novas grow during veg and bloom during flower, then the cal-mg, worm castings, and kelp i should be set?

Sure. But floro nova should be all you need. Maybe the calmag if you are under led. The worm shit and kelp arent needed. but wont hurt unless over done. If you use them, mix em separate than the floro

good to know thank you, yes im under a hlg 550 v2 rspec led light, so would you do the kelp and worm as a substitute for one of the feeds? so feed-water-wormkelp-water-feed-water-feed etc? or could i do a feed-wormkelp-feed-water-feed-water etc

I would just use a bit in the water mix's in between the real feeds. Full nutes like floro dont need many additives.
Just use em gently.

FloraNova by itself at 5ml per gal does wonders. That paired with CaliMagic should get you all the way through the worst mag hungry situations.
The worm juice etc may potentially build more complex flavors but I'd leave them out your first round till you have the feeding dialed in.
I am not a promix grower but would still think feed with every watering.
Maybe @Renfro can chime in with some suggestions on feed / watering strategy for promix :peace:
