Alright for the compost will the malibu one be fjne?

Also do u happen too know how i can move my plants from inside to outdoors ? Cutting back 15 mins a week till i get too??14hrs? .. im in los angeles .Id like to put em out soon as i can wont be a problem if they get super big ..

April 17 day length by civil twilight will be at 5:52am-7:52pm= 14 hours .and increases till june 20 ..

If they’re getting too big, prune them back. They’ll grow back anyways. Malibu compost will work. Once the plant is indoors, don’t move it outdoors. If you move it outdoors that just brings pests and other problems. If you’re talking about for flower, just switch your lights 12/12

So i dont need the veg tomato and herb bag for top dressing or should i get all 3bags of dr.earth? Do u mean use the all purpose and bloom for the teas and for top dressing use the 3 bags ?

For the tea:
Compost - 1 cup
Ewc- 1 cup
Veg or bloom - 1 teaspoon
Fish emulsion?- 1 cup
Kelp - 1 cup
Bubble for 24 hours and use right away.

Thank you btw , and to the others for the help .. now i got guide line to go organic which helps me particularly having something basic to follow and build upon it

Just my 2 cents....I've been growing many many years indoor and out. I know part of the fun of growing is experimenting with nutrients, teas, amending soil and all that.
I went thru it myself. ITS FUN!!!!!!! However, the more you experiment, the more issues you'll find, and not know what the cause, because you're adding sooo much to your plants.
I found over the years, LESS IS ALWAYS MORE!!!

You have ocean forest? Perfect! A handful of EWC if ya have em, and a bunch of perlite with DTE Langbeniete 0-0-22 (OF has little to no Potassium, you'll thank me later).
Just water with dechlorinated tap water adjusted to 6.5.
When transplanting, add your Mycos!!! It really helps.
About every 3-4 weeks or when the plants tell you, add you All purpose/Flower girl.
Every other week add some cal mag, it helps, just a teaspoon per gallon. Some molasses too if ya want, it's not needed it just doesn't hurt.

Think of your plant as a human- If your full and feel good, do you want more food or tea? Nope.
If you're having trouble breathing, get a fan, get some air flow.
If you're skin is dry, increase humidity

Don't add to your problems, IF you get a problem, address it.

As far as FFOF as host medium ......

You have a number of ways to feed .....

1. You can Top dress FFOF at specific intervals and simply water in ( 6.5-6.7 )

2. or Use Dr. Earth dry fertilizer / scratched into top soil then watered in. I run 1 tablespoon per gallon.
3 - 5 gallon i run between 2-4 tablespoons. Adjust as needed.

Remember that FFOF is ALREADY NUTE CHARGED and can be “ recharged “ thru top dress and or drenches. Adding multiple nutes on top of this soil , causes imbalances ( assorted npk ratios ) and leads to burns , lock outs and other shit.

This soil always seems to be an issue with growers when the soil alone can do initial feed . LESS is more ... Keep it simple.

Example : You combine nutes and something goes to shit ... how do you determine what did what ?
FFOF will exhaust overtime but can be refreshed by one or other methods ....

The only thing(s) Ocean Forest NEEDS when you start.
1.). Langbeniete 0-0-22. FFOF, is loaded plenty of NP (castings, bat guano, fish, seabird, THATS NP....but barely anything for Potassium.). Trust me, you'll see better THICKER growth thru veg adding that Langbeniete.
THEN- when you enter flower, if you don't runoff much, you're already charged with potassium, go about feeding as scheduled. You'll LOOOOOOOOVE IT ......Oh the other thing is about 25% perlite. Of doesn't have enough. I like the medium chunky.
