I want to run Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil and I read that it comes ore mix with some dry amenities but I would also like to run synthetic nutrients with some organic dry amendments like worm cast poop etc.
Im assuming that I would have my dechlorinated water and add my synthetic nutrients (cal mag, urb, etc) then check the PH and adjust. Would I ph my water say to 6.0 because when I water my ph may jump up to 6.5 because of the amendments that have been pre mixed inside?
I’m second guessing myself because I feel like using organic dry amendments I shouldn’t have to use synthetic nutrients cause they are the same thing?

Many growers "float" their pH in soil to 6.0-7.0 .. As long as your soil is in that range then you should be good. Yeah you could finish your grow with organic nutrients. Although, when you're beginning, I think it's good to have synthetic nutrients on hand to fall back on.
I use the Foxfarm line per their schedule. I always adjust PH to about 6.6 because my run off tends to be a bit acidic.
