Does anyone use this in soil? Had some laying around and figured I'd use it up before buying new nutes, except my plants are in soil currently...

I have

FloraGrow
FloraMicro
FloraBloom

what are some other good suppliements to use along with these "base" nutrients in soil?

... You have to be careful with chemicals in soil, it raises your ph quickly due to soil being such a great buffer for salts...This can ruin a crop really fast. Soil usually is already enriched, so...you shouldn't need anything for a month or so. . I have a copy and paste I typed up for using organic teas in soil if your interested. You follow these instructions, you shouldn't have any problems, check it out:


What you'll need:
Seabird guano, bat guano, earth worm castings, kelp meal (or liquid seaweed), molessas, a bubble stone and bubble pump, a paint strainer. 5 gallon bucket.
What to do:
Get a couple of gallons of water from tap....let set on bubbles over night to dechlorinize it, then pH balance the water to 6.5....take a couple tablespoons of each (worm castings, seabird, bat, kelp, molessas) and put inside paint strainer and tie shut...hang the mix over the bubble stone to make movement/activity in the water....let set for 24-48 hours....put 2 cups of this per gallon to new dechlorinized pH balanced water, then water in once weekly.

...you'll want to back up off of the earthworm castings and the seabird guano in mid flower to eliminate nitrogen avalibility.
...the molessas and liquid seaweed are liquid , however, still use table spoon measurements.
...stop giving tea @ weeks 5 for an 8 week strain, or allow a couple weeks to flush (not so important organically but, I prefer to save the $)

Thank you very much for this! Been having trouble with soil but I am determined to get it working right :)
