Dr Earth Ferts / Soil?

I've just got a couple questions for anyone that's tried these products...

I know absolutely nothing about fertilizers, organic or chemical, but wanted to go the organic route and have a local supplier for this product line...Only thing is I know a lot of stuff is advertised as organic, but isn't truly, so I'm not 100% sure on this.

I was thinking about running this for Veg:

And this for flowering:

With this soil:

Any suggestions / experiences with these products?

Thanks in advance,
Ayron

Edit: I was planning on mixing in ~20% perlite to help with drainage / prevent clumping / compacting... And as a side note, the bags of that POTting soil in the store look like they've been there quite a while...does this stuff go bad or will it be ok?

their tomato n vegetable is the only good one. Their soil is horrible. I would add kelp meal and neem meal on top of Dr earth nutes.

make your own soil. Peatmoss, coco, perlite, worm castings and compost. Then add nutes and mix up. Let sit for a month. Make sure to spray soil mix with compost tea as well.

myself. I use crab meal, neem meal, rock dust, and kelp meal plus homemade worm castings and compost in mix.

make your own worm bin too. That's the cornerstone of living organics. Compost teas, seed sprout teas, etc.. Check out the rols recycled living organics no till sticky thread at the top of the organic section

Hey thanks for the insight Hyroot. Next year I'm definitely going to start my own compost, worm bin and go all out, but I was trying to go for a quick solution this round...Why do you think their soil is horrible? ...not questioning you, just curious why so I know what to look for

Was hoping a nice mix of peat moss, perlite and their soil w/ the premade nutes would suffice, but I'm definitely open to suggestions. I'll swap out the all purpose fert for the Tomatoe and Vegetable for vegging. A local grower I was talking to swears by their bud and bloom n said he could damn near watch them grow during flower lol...

I used their soil. Attracts gnats like crazy. Had major nutrient defs in the first 2 weeks.

had better results with vegetable n tomato than the bloom booster one. To high in phos. Less is more.
