Do you think the soil and nutes i bought today are any good?

They aren't any specific big brand just some stuff bought from a local store, in my country horticulture is quite advanced so i guess its good stuff, i would like to list the specs that are on the bag/bottle, and you tell me good or bad.


Nutes for vegging:
N - 6%
K2O - 3%
MgO - 1%
Fe - 0.3%
Micro elements - Calcium, Copper, Manganese, Boron
Dosage is 15ml on 1.5l water.

Soil:
PH - 6.6
N - 120.4% g
Phosphor - 116.2%
Calium? - 90%
It's just what it says on the bag, i don't quite understand it aswell, but the soil has peat moss perlite and it says it's rich in humus, it looks just the way good mj soil looks like, but i wonder if there is something wrong. What do you think?

Hmm... seems like you bought soil with nutrients alreadys in it. Are they time releasing ferts like Miracle Grow? I'd be skeptical of putting your seeds in hot soil like that.

I don't really know, but the guy in the shop said that this is like all purpose and all i have to do is plant and water, then later i can add the nutes. It was a pretty standard bag, so i guess it's just something simple.

Yeah, my guess is that they are not time release, which is a good thing. I would still be wary though if the soil is too hot for seedlings. Try mixing some of that soil and some soil with no nutes added. Then if your plants tell you they need more nutes, just feed them

Remember to start out your nutes at 1/4 strength. Better to underfeed than burn the plants by feeding too much.

My plan is not to feed them for abit so they can denutriate? the soil abit. After 2-3 weeks veg i`ll feed em 1/4 then 1/2 then full dose of nutes, the soil seems perfect and i transplanted my pretty seedling in it ( changed it soil ) because it's old one was too clay rich and no nutes in it. The transplant is doing well.
