Bud boosters ? Dr earth maybe. Blackstrap Molasses during a couple weeks. Tablespoon to a gallon.

I use a bootleg moonshine mix

1bag of ff planters mix
1bag of ffof
1bag of light warrior
20 oz perlite
Cup of hf jump start
Cup of hf fruit and flower

Water only with molasses mix. :-P

cal/mag, silica, humic/fulvic acids, amino acids, alfalfa powder and high P kelp extract. most bloom boasters are usually just one or a mix from this list plus the molasses already mentioned. feed the soil microbes and they will feed the plants.

I never, ever, use chemical ferts outside. Amendments, microbes, and time, are all you need. It's really selfish, in my opinion, to burn all the surrounding vegetation, load the ground with salts, fuck the natural ph of the soil, and kill all the microbes that call it home; just to grow some plants for yourself.

Just mix up a batch of super soil (with no rock phosphate ever as it can poison water supplies [probably not the right term, but I don't care]), dig a really deep and wide hole, then fill it with your super soil, and plant. It's called super soil for a reason lol. That's all I do, and water with teas (one for veg, separate recipe for bloom), and I've never grown a plant I am not proud of.

Do you lay a buffer layer over your ss or as is.
Like a layer of native soil? Nah. I put mine right in there. But this year, I think I am going to put some really hot soil (that is higher I'm P and K than N) in the bottom of my holes so the plants can grow into it later on in the season. That's sort of what I do with my indoor plants, and they seem to like it.

Yea native or neutral potting soil. Yea I like to layer super soil with flowering amendments way at the bottom for later in season too.

I have made a mix of subcool super soil, and plan to grow in pots using the bottom half to be the super soil mix and the top hald Ocean Forrest. I am trying to keep my grow 100 percent organic. Can you recommend and organic teas specifically for flowering?

There is an organic section. Post a new thread over there, or ask one of the mods to move this one. Those guys eat, drink and sleep organic. They will have lots of opinions. Good luck.

don't do that my man, mix the entire mix up evenly
do not layer anything at all, cannabis plants don't grow like that at all
if anything you are wasting nutrients and pruning the roots when you transplant
the SS technique and recipe are completely out-dated and based on incomplete knowledge of horticulture/organics.
may be worthwhile looking into meal based slow release nutrients rather than soluble ones.
almost all the nutrients used in the SS mix are redundant and or simply not the best choices at all
for outdoor grows you want meal-based slow release nutrients
