Hey guys, So I have been running supersoil outdoors for the last 3 seasons with great success. I am new to indoor growing and have already mixed my batch of supersoil but currently have 4 blueberry kush ladies vegging in 7 gals. of straight vermifire soil. They have been vegging in their 7 gal containers for about 4 weeks now and I have given them nothing but plain Phed water. My question is do they just need some food? They have very spindly new growth and the tops are brightening to a lime green with curled droopy upper leaves. They are vegging under t5's and I should have the 1000w and tent setup by Thursday. The temp has been getting a bit high (80s) with my ghetto t5 rig, but will be in a nice cool tent soon. My SS will be ready in 2 weeks and I plan to top dress with that but until then what do I feed them!! I just moved into a new place and acquired some free clones before I was really even ready to start growing. But, this is why I hate not using supersoil, it seems I always get deficiencies and and trying to correct with liquid ferts the whole rest of the grow! I plan to run 100% supersoil starting my next grow, but this first one is a new strain to me and gonna be dealing with liquid ferts so I am just hoping for the best. Attached a few pics, let me know what you guys think, growth has really slowed considerably. Thanks in advance guys.

As an "emergency" measure, I would use Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom (soil formula), Liquid Karma, and some molasses during your flower cycle. Last two weeks switch to just molasses.

Wow that is amazing. That is EXACTLY what I did this morn. (They were really dry and I had to water before 8 hr. shift at work) Except I used pure blend pro GROW instead of bloom because I am switching them to the 1000w tmrw and I don't want to over stress kicking them into flower and the light change all at once. Liquid karma is da bomb, I used to run botanicare outdoor with great results until I found subs soil. I guess I will veg another week and start with a 50/50 grow/bloom transition feeding. I will start brewing some AACT twice a week to help with the pure blend and hope for the best! This makes me realize again how much I love SS. No need to guess what nutrients plants need and when, they have ALL they need WHENEVER they need it. Supersoil 4 life.

my two pennies:

i like to use all organic liquid when i need to feed. not 50/50 like pure blend. preference being organic gem. its an amazing fish hydrolysate. perfect food stock for fungi in aact as well as foliars. balanced npk in an all in one product.

great for boosting your beny population (recommended by microbeman)..

here's what they got

(per gallon)

.25 tsp ful-humix
1 tbsp organic gem
1 oz fresh aloe
.5 tsp potassium silicate

I gots ta agree with kushking on the all organic part... Pure blend is a decent nute as far as bottled nutes go, but its not organic.. If it was you'd see that shit plastered all over the bottles... I use the gem as well as general organics bio marine, I also use their grow and bloom when I have to dabble in the bottled stuff like I am having to right now because I'm out of SS.. I really try to avoid using anything out of bottles aside from ca/mg+ (also GO) when I can but when you have starving plants you gotta do whatcha gotta... The PBP will produce some good buds but I wouldnt bother trying to switch over to super soil at any point during their flowering cycle, just plan on running the pure blend till the end... The liquid karma gets the same treatment... when running the pure blend or other semi-synthetic or partially organic, however you wanna look at it, its a good kelp product but there is way better organic kelp products out there that will allow you to stay under the "100% organic" label...

On your next run with the supersoil you'll see why we all use it.... The meds I have on hand are insane, they were grown with supersoil and compost teas only, nothing else aside from go ca/mg+... They dont really even look all that special aside from gobs of resin on them, but when I smoke it, I know why I dont wanna use bottled shit anymore... I was smoking it with only a week or so cure on it and theres no harshness, and a joint will burn till theirs nothing left almost if its rolled halfway decent, not that I can even smoke a whole joint but the few times I have, they burned down to roach burn territory...
