What is something about my grow/soil should change? What amendments should I add or drop for my next grow? Should I top dress, or use a tea? Thanks This is my first grow. I have two plants flowering (week 5, mostly sativa). Each is in a 5 gal container. The space is 2x2x6 (Closet), 90% sealed. Because its sealed, using a fan drives the heat up to the 90's. I can't have a ventilation setup, so twice a day I open the room for 10 min, so the air can circulate. Temp stays at 72-74, RH from 50-70 (depending when I water) Veg - Two 400w (105w actual) 5000 lumen, 6500k CFL's. Flower - Same bulbs, but 2700k. Soil: 1 cf MG Organic Choice Garden Soil (0.10-0.05-0.10) 1 cup blood meal (12-0-0) 1 cup bone meal (4-12-0) 1 cup ground alfalfa hay 3/4 cup powdered dolomite lime 20% perlite I water about every three days.
You need a biological soil conditioner to make those amendments available. Otherwise, the blood, bone, and alfalfa are basically useless. Find some HIGH QUALITY worm castings or compost.

Kelp meal for sure, 1cup/cf. That is a must have. My very first organic run was Blood, Bone, Kelp+the dolo and it worked just fine. The EWC and alfalfa came later, but your plants are looking quite nice as is. Wet
