Well, yeah. But you should get some molasses, dolomite lime, and bat guano, too, especially for flower. Preferrably the stuff from FoxFarm. I like it because of the myco and humic acid.

For the natures care veg fruit and flower food, do you have a suggested dose for plants only 2 weeks into growth? Half of recomended to start?

Yes, that very one. And, just the veg, fruit and flower food for now. It contains microbes (Rhizobacillus) in the granules of ground organic matter (meat meal, bone meal, blood meal, feather meal, wheat middlings, alfalfa, etc). NPK is 3-4-2 which may sound low, but it's because it's organic and it's meant to allow you to build around it for the two different stages nute-wise. I water with molasses to increase the microherd and plus it increases potassium. Eventually, you should also get Dolomite Lime and FoxFarm Bat Guano (HIGHLY recommend; contains myco and humic acid, 0-5-0).

But for now:

-Potting mix
-Veg/Fruit/Flower food (3-4-2).

Then you should be good until payday. $5 for an 8-quart, 11 for the big bag. And the food is about 7.

Do you mix it with your water when watering the plants or do you mix it into the soil (I'm not sure if this product comes in granule or liquid)? I'll be picking some up today.

You can top dress or amend with it. Granule form.
