No. Its not going to last 3 months. It'll get you through a month. After that you need to start adding nutes.

Well this will get you through flowering without needing additional nutes, but it requires multiple components.

If its too much to gather up, you can always just make teas using compost, organic amendments etc.

I should point out, if you went from 1 gallon pot to a 3 gallon pot for flowering, the soil might last you another month I suppose, but then you've still got a month left.

Theres also a mix called MoonShine mix using fox farms soils and whatnot. Its a long thread, so enjoy reading:

Why are you so adverse to nutes? Do you have some sorta phobia? Just go get some FF and buy some nutes.

moonshine mix is great not only for its nutrient mix but because of the perlite and coco the soil holds water without suffocating your roots. just my two cents and you actually add about a cup of solid fertalizer for each batch. good luck whatever you decide

i havent added any nutes to my plant ive had it for 2 months now since it was a clone
and its doing pretty nice
im using happy frog soil that has nutrients in it i think im not sure
but im sure you can grow a marijuana plant with just water and soil
it is a WEED and weeds grow without anyone taking care of em

You could use just water but your plant will be happier if you use some nutrients. Use tea or shop around there are plenty of organic nutrients out there if you plan on staying organic for the whole grow.
