Nobody does homework any more.

What nutrients do you have on hand?

Well I was thinking sensi grow part a b then for flower sensi bloom part a b and useing bud candy to finish them up

I k ow there is enough nutrients in the soil for a month or so but what about after that

It depends on how big your pots are and how big your plants are, but you can go at least a few weeks with FFOF.

Would that be a good nutrient to use sensi grow product on food soil

On ffof soil

Or .................................. Just top dress FFOF .

You will do yourself a favor by having plants thrive on FFOF alone for a few weeks anyways .....
This way the plants become acclimated to this charged medium. Just ph at 6.3 -6.5 .

It doesn’t get ANY simpler than that.

I said after a month of being in there I ws gonna switch a month

I agree with top dressing. Much easier, but I only use organics in my amended FFOF. I'm still mastering the top dressing thing, but am getting there. Used Earth Juice with the original FFOF and had an awesome harvest with amazing taste. I'm on my fourth grow in it now, but amended it for this round to turn it into a living no-till soil. I'm not dissing chemical nutes, but I prefer organics. Oh ya, and I don't ever adjust ph.

Synth nutes are what they are .... to me top dressing is simply recharging the medium with exact same ratios , so can’t be a
bad thing. Sure you can ” tweak “ a mix , one way is i RECHARGE the “ myco ” with a watering of Great White spread over the grow.
I see fast vigor of plant and I keep on trucking.

I used to run 3 different nute lines ...... WHY ?
Now all soil grows are dry ammended or split between EB Stone soil / FFOF.......... and never looked back.
No more Ratio bullshit or multibottle shit. Just me the plant , soil and water.

My next run will be a MEGACROP ammended ( in soil dry ) using EB Stone 420 bagged mix. Mixed in bagged soil then run on water only. I still have a jar of MOAB laying about .... and MAY use it around week 6 ( one time ) but like just letting plant pull from medium alone.

But for Hempy buckets I still favor GH powdered MAXIBLOOM....

So no go on sensi grow ??

If you put enought soil for the whole grow. The you don't need any ferts unlessyou have a probleme of deficiency.. If you don't put enought then you'll use up all nuts in soil and will need to had fert.. That's how it work.. Why wast fertilizer on plant that don't need em. If you grow in soil why not start with the right amouth of soil.. And why had chemical fert.. Just had beneficial bacteria and mycoz. And top off every now and then..

By top of i mean add compost dry fert And water with great white often to renoost soil. I don't really calculte timin anymore. I go by feel. But i stay away from salt fertilizer when i grow in living soil. To many people ask hiw to optimize grow and mixes recipices and all from other and think they will achieve grsater yeild and whats not. But thats not how it will work. Most tho. Will agree living soil benefits from top off and beneficial bacteria and fungi. So you cannot go wrong with this.
