Hi, i am new to growing, and i have purchased Super soil from my local grocery store and also got ; General Hydroponics 3 Part Nutrients; FloraMicro,FloraGrow,Flora Bloom. I also have got calcium and rhino skin (Silica). I was speaking with someone from CKS, and they told me that i would not be able to use the 3 part Nutrients with the super soil, as it would be too many nutrients and would burn my plants. Can a professional please clear this up for me. Also when am i able to move the seedlings from normal soil to the super soil. She mentioned also that the super soil would kill it this early in its life.

So if the supersoil and flora is too much, would it be better if i got pro mix hp, and add the nutrients to that. And also it says the super soil , fertalizer has to be added to it. but im pretty sure the pro mix hp you dont. I really need help on this one, seeds are germinating now, got everything else in line and set up. Just the soil/nutes/fert im confused on.

Hey there a super soil is soil that's been amended with base elements, lime, blood n bone, calcium, organic mulch, silica, animal poo kelp and all sorts of things depending on the producer but in genaral there are no long acting chemical fertilizers in there. Dont add nutrients to your seedlings ever the cotlydon leaves have everything the seedling needs and that's the easiest way to kill a plant well right next to overwatering which is the most common cause of death. Don't transplant till your seedling has a couple of sets of leaves and good healthy root formation. When you do transplant bury that puppy right up to the cotlydons and you'll be fine and remember don't over-water.

So if i was to use Flora's 3 part series, thats the same as fertalizer, and i dont need to add a fertalizer?
Dude the super soil I use is water only from start to finish and if anything extra is need top dress with more supersoil. Other than that I add mammoth p and great white alternating every other watering.

Firstoff, I doubt you purchased a good super soil or a super soil at all from your local grocery store. But if you did then you definitely don't want to add nutrients to this mix. Your plants will burn up over night. I use subcools super soil that I mix myself.
