First organic grow

[jr215]

Hey. This is my fist post on 420mag. I hope its in the right forum. I've been growing in hydro (flood and drain) for a while now and have had some great results. I wanted to try a full organic grow in soil to see the difference in taste and quality. I'm not a grow for dough guy so my setup is small and simple. Four plants under a 600HPS with a circulation fan and a 430 cfm vortex fan ducted through a charcoal filter and the light hood.
I'm growing Cali's Tahoe OG in three gallon grow bags using Empire Builders soil. I've added a little azamite after the first two weeks of veg. I vegged for three weeks. For nutrients I'm brewing tea in RO water with worm castings, bat and seabird guano, kelp, molasses and great white. I feed with the tea followed up with two waterings of RO water.
Like I said, this is my first organic grow. I'm kind of shooting from the hip aside from a little advice from a friend. If you have any tips or think I should make any adjustments to my feeding, please let me know.
I'm anxious to see what the flavor will turn out like. I've grown some super dank and frosty nugs in hydro using synthetic nutrients. I'm sure my yield won't be as much growing organic/soil but if the flavor is strong I'm down.
Thanks

Well done man, you're doing a good job honestly.

You have food sources for the microbes, the azo-mite will provide many trace minerals. For being a small setup and likely on a budget that's fine.

Thanks JJ. I'm not really on a budget. It small enough that it doesnt cost too much to run. Like I said, first straight organic grow so I have to ask questions. I'll post some pics after they start flowering.

I think you're set for a start
Although in the long run I believe that a key to a great smoke - in terms of taste as well as yield - is your own garden compost
This will provide nitrogen, potassium and all microelements needed throughout even very long grow. A good compost will double or even triple your plants in size providing it's been processed on fresh air by all beneficial bacterias and fungi there are. It will be rich in humic acid too - the same stuff that's been offered for tons of money by professional vendors! If you consider working further with mycorrhizae, molasses, Lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum; L. casei; Streptococcus Lactis) and whatnot, hopefully after few years you won't see a difference in yield between your organic soil grow and hydro, but it will be far superior
Good luck!
