This is my first organic grow. Trying to keep it all organic. I know my photoperiod strawberry cough is hungry. My question is do these nutrients mix well? My plan is to top dress 2TBSP of dr earth 394 & add build-a-bloom to the water @ 1/2 recommended dose for some faster results?

Medium/grow method: ffof in 2gal fabric pot

Feed: and supplements used: see below

water source: tap 7.8

PH in the root zone: haven’t checked

Strain/age: strawberry cough ~3wk flower?

light used: mars hydro tsw2000

Climate: 82F ~30-40%rH

Additional info: I believe I had a slight case of root rot due to improper watering, but I caught it quick & it no longer smells in root zone. I had been watering every morning, however not to run off... I thought I was good cuz I would never soak pot all the way when watering, also I’m in fabric pots which is kind of why I questioned root rot. I usually go by pot weight & water every morning and water it almost to runoff then the next morning only spray it a bit to get the top of the soil a little damp and let it dry further out till the following morning when I usually give it another heaver watering unless it’s still kinda heavy, then I’ll just get the top moist again. So basically I water everyday but it only gets a nice heavy watering every 2 days or so. I’m still pretty sure it was root rot though. Bottom leaves are continuing to yellow so I know I need nitrogen quick which is why I was wondering if the BuildABloom will play OK with Dr. earth. Remember I’m trying to keep this 100% organic. Thx for the help :thanks:
@Mañ'O'Green hope you don’t mind I tag you :weed:

In a 2 gallon fabric pot, the odds of root rot are slim to none.. Also, in a 2 gallon fabric pot, that soil ran out of available food long before flower started.. Nitrogen is not needed... It's never needed in flower.. That's why the build a bloom N ratio is only 2. It's an extremely complicated process to grow organic autos in small pots. You have to really know your stuff! Your plant is feeding off of the nutrients stored in its leaves since there is none available in the soil. Dr. Earth is time or slow release, it's tricky.. You don't know how much is being released, or when, or how much is immediately available. I grow No till organic and my smallest pot used is 15 gallons. I have 7 gal and 5 gal pots that I rarely use.. But wouldn't go smaller that 5 if you are trying to grow organic.. The more soil, the more available food! If this were my plant, I'd stop the Dr earth top dress and use the build a bloom at the recommended rate every other watering or so. I've been using the build a soil grow guide for years now... It's an excellent, fool proof guide. I suggest getting the craft blend top dress from build a soil if you want to top dress. It's designed with cannabis in mind and is immediately available to the plant.. I'd also recommend bigger pot sizes if your plan is to grow organically.. Your goal should now be to slow the spread of the yellowing and try to get to harvest. Damaged leaves won't recover or improve.. Focus on the healthy green leaves that are left an try to save them..

Thanks, I’ve been waiting on a shipment from build-a-soil for a couple days now. I got craft blend, gro-kashi, TM-70 yucca, worm castings, & AgSIL16H all on the way didn’t know craft blend is immediate that’s awesome :cheers: :thanks:

If you follow them on Instagram they are just starting another grow. Jeremy walks you through the organic process from germ to harvest in a daily video. It's priceless info.. Usually just cannabis, but this time it's canna a veggies!
