Is banana tea enough or should I make up some FFJ

Hi all, I'm almost at the end of the first week of flower. Last watering I used banana tea. My question is will the banana tea carry me through on this grow or would I see better results with FFJ? I'm using super soil made with natures living soil concentrate, the only thing I've fed up to flower was molasses and a compost tea made with the same concentrate. First indoor and organic grow.

Lots of factors at play regarding whether you have ‘enough’ of everything in your soil - let the plants be your indicator, and feed the soil accordingly. I would suggest that you can’t rely on banana tea as ur sole PK source - any signs of deficiency in ur last run?

This is my first indoor grow and haven't grown in 20+ years. Not really seeing any signs of deficiencies. This is the Las pic I took of her Monday

ok, is this the first run? if so then you likely have all that you need to get through a full cycle, I'm presuming you're growing autos? I don't have much experience but my understanding is that you have limited time to make up for deficiencies when running autos. If its a soil mix tailored for autos then I would think you are more or less set. But go ahead and feed some banana tea if you want, I would personally choose a proper FPJ (FFJ, same shit)) or FPE, I make/use them in my grow. You could start a banana FPJ today and be able to use it in 7-10 days, but use in moderation until you have a better understanding of how your soil performs and what ur plants (soil!) actually needs

Thanks I made up an ffj will be ready to go Tuesday. I haven't done much because of the soil. Watered yesterday with nothing added and she responded better to that than when I watered with the banana tea so just going to stick with water. Yes it is an auto and my first run, made some mistakes along the way for sure lots of notes been keeping track of what and when I've done everything since she sprouted started another last week happy with this one but looking forward to the next one now that I have better understanding

for sure - what you have there looks really good, the hardest part for you might end up being just leaving her be without being tempted to add stuff that might not be necessarily; I'm constantly guilty of this - all the best
