All the nutrients are good. Personally I like the ingredients in FFOF for MJ better but those ammendments by themselves are not sufficient.
The Buds and Blooms is ok as a separate amendment but not a total feed for flower. The best thing you have there is the Worm Castings and you plants will like those most anyways.
Notice your flower food has NO potassium? The Calcium levels are good in it but you can’t feed that kind of phosphorus to get the calcium you need. Molasses in your waterings is a good source of Cal/Mag/ and potassium.
You will need Potassium and additional micro nutrients as the RO water filters them all out. Sounds complicated? Well, when you have to piece your nutes together it is.
If I could give you some advise… If you want to take your plants most through veg with COM then great… But I would change your nute line to be more broad spectrum.
Personally, the best stuff out there is Gaia Greens. A lot a people don’t like them cause not enough “flower power” but I can tell you it is as close to nature as you’re gonna get for commercial nutes. Ive been using it for years and nothing is better unless you’re making your own and very few people can do it right.
Once your soil is depleted, you need to reammend. Typically you want to cover all your base nutes (NPK). For Gaia Greens that is a 4-4-4 blend. For flower dresss with the 2-8-4. In an organic grow these slow release ammendments need to be broken down by microbial life in the soil. For this to happen the soil must be moist. Once the soil is dried out the microbes stop working.
Organic growers, like myself, typically use Kelp and Molasses for instance, to stimulate the microbes. Applying is simple… Add to you water and aerate for 24 hours (till foamy - cover it)
For an Auto in pre amended soil (like COM) I would top dress at week 4 with a blend of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 (Feeding a total of 100% of recommended feeding with 75% being 2-8-4) and work it into the top soil with 4 TBSP per gallon of media of Worm castings. Water every couple days with no runoff and once a week run off 5-10% out the bottom.
… Or your equivalents. I use Gaia as an examples since that’s what I use.
I would then Top Dress and defoliate after week 3 of flower with 100% 2-8-4…
Your lights are good. I like to run close to max around flower and adjust the light height for heat. It doesn’t matter what the par is if you’re burning the plant.
CO2 is not needed unless you have extreme heat problems in your tent. A proper air exchange and circulation along with decent RH and Temp and you’re good.
The Kush are pretty easy grows.
Personally, I really don’t like autos and hoping to warm up to them. Im pretty much a noob at autos but been growing photos since I was a kid. (and im almost 50 now). Im a pretty quicker learner but its taken some tweaks to my protocols and I think I can make some consistent runs with them now.
…Why I prefer photos and that is what I will run 90% of the time.
Feeding every couple weeks with some worm casting should keep the micros in the soil. But you definitely need to add a source of cal/mag weekly if not using molasses.
Its pretty much that simple. That’s all I use and that’s all I do. Big fat, sticky, smelly flowers. Simpler is better.
If you follow my thread “on to the next photos” I explain everything I do. Once you get to flower its basically the same.
