That sounds like all you need to me: they have different levels and of course there is always more :yin_yang: Your set up will be able to produce top notch buds with what you have: are you planning to supplement the soil with your amendments mix in before you fill the earth boxes? Or running just the fox farm & top dress? I add to the soil before setting up, then top dress as needed during the grow: last time pre flower, wetting the top dress, as the earth box is bottom watered (Wicked) add some live worms to each box if you have them at lights on so they will go down to get out the light :yin_yang:

i bought starter cubes to get the plants going in. I have some left over seedling mix to get the plants going on for the first 2-3 weeks before I transplant…
not sure! What do you suggest? top dress or mix? Ocean forest is a hot soil as it is so i lean towards top dress

I start my seeds direct in soil, in regular soil: thats just me, eliminates the need for different soils & starter cubes: with FFOF top dress will be fine: IMO :yin_yang:

i have a bunch of humboldt seed co stock… But I also have some cool csi or solfire fems. torn. I have an infant and not much time to myself or a grow at the moment.

Great to hear you’re diving into your second year of growing! Make sure your soil is well-amended and consider using organic fertilizers for a boost. Regularly check your plants for pests and diseases.
Also, ensure your grow area has the right temperature, humidity, and light conditions for optimal growth. Good luck with your grow!

You asked for advice…

Here…

Branded item on Amazon

Superthrive Grow
Superthrive Bloom

Is a fertilizer/food liquid additive.

Comes with all the little things you hope is in a “balanced” food.
.

The soil is a great start as i read…
But she’s still going to be hungry.
These plants grow so freaking fast…
Soil is hard pressed to keep up.

After a month, start supplementing food at no more than 450 ppm in soil …
The forums say higher, they’re in Hydroponics, these forums are misleading here.

Good luck
