Plan on growing 5 autos in 5 gal grow bags in 4x4 space with 1000w hid. Need help on organic soil. Preferably commercial brand that would require no mixing. Or a easy mix of half and half. Seen some users use certain brand/mix of soil on top and soil on bottom. Want to keep it simple as possible without adding much/nutrients entire plant cycle seedling to harvest. Going for maximum yield/quality

Any supersoil which varies from state to state. Other than super soil you’ll need to feed. As far as nutrients I use megacrop which is not expensive in the least and it goes a long way.

i cant speak on the autos but if you want easy and cheap go for Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil and add some perlite or vermiculite or coco for aeration/drainage. Some decent worm castings will also help quite a bit and basically can never harm the plants.

How far would the 600 grams of this stuff go growing 2 autos from seed to harvest? In say 3 gallon pots

my last grow with fully ammended living soil required almost no feeding until about week 6 of flower, but i transplanted twice so there was a lot of fresh soil involved not long before i flipped to 12/12. But that was not a bagged soil, i built it myself. When ive used FFOF i found it seemed to be able to provide approximately a month of solid nutrition before i needed to think about feeding, but that depends on the a bunch of variables.

I have 4 bloom soil concentrations for the differing wants of strains..
Even with hot, long term soil's
You will at some point need to use something....

Fert tea's are nice, I use them some.
Premade bottled organic nutrient's are easy to use if you take the time to dial them in..

Personally have AGE OLD organic nutes on hand for just those times.....My old school, go to, organic nutrient.....of choice.
