I’m using Dr earth in peat based soil. I pre amended with 4-4-4 and top dress with 4-4-4 and 3-9-4 at 50/50when in transition to flower and in full flower 25/75. My plants are loving it!

I'll try veg and 4-4-4 50/50 and when in bloom 4-4-4 and 3-9-4

I do LST and topping for training. Yeah, I think 1 cup per gal of medium for pre amend… then 4 wks into veg I too dress with a couple cups 4-4-4. I vegged for 8 wks and flipped lights. At first show of flower I topdressed with 50/50. 4-4-4/3-9-4. Approx 3-4 wks later I do 25/75 4-4-4/3-9-4 and wait til she fades out before flush and harvest… if you flush. It has been very low maintenance other than defols, once in veg and last about 3 wks into flower.

I haven’t used teas but prob should have as I can see some N deficiency in my Scrog girl that gets same treatment. No, topdress is the feed and only at those times… then just PH’d water (peat) 5.5-6.5 with blackstrap molasses diluted into the water at 1 tbsp per gal. This feeds the microbes that feeds the plants. The whole catch to this is if you over amend you can’t take it back… it’s in there! You’ll probably get nute burn. Would be way better than over salt-nute application… too many salt nutes will burn the plant. Organic are harder to do that but possible.
