Hi all. I'm doing a soil grow. In a compact cabinet. There's no npk reading on the soil. So what would I need to add to make it suitable to grow some healthy pot? The soil seems to be at pH of 6.
I have trace elements and GoGo Juice, soil probiotic.

You have no idea what's in the soil? I'd reccomend running r/o water through it and collecting the first few oz of run off to test with a TDS meter so you at least have an idea of what's in it.

I've already tested my soil pH. It's on 6. And no. I don't know what's in it. The bag says nothing about nutrients. Or trace elements of any kind.

Total dissolved solids.
It gives you a number.

If it says 300-500 don't add anything.
If it comes out, 0-100 add nutes.

PH is totally seperate from TDS. It tells you how many Parts Per Million/PPM of different elements that are in your water. That's why you NEED to use reverse osmosis r/o water to do the test. It has ZERO PPM.

I'm in some podunk town in Australia. I haven't seen any proper nutes here. I mean there's blood and bone. But yeah. No real nutrients and shite. Just crap at bunnings.

then i suggest u start with soil and seasol

ph won't be too much of an issue if you stay semi-organic, nor will ppms

That is what I have used and will work, maybe not the best but saves having to buy anything expensive just yet like equipment

plus u will kill a few....
