Welcome to the forum.
I’ve never heard of Down to Earth. Whatever you do be sure you get a product that is designed for cannabis. You will want the proper ratio that is balanced for micronutrients and macronutrients.
yea their line up has so many different products couldnt find a feed chart to see what should be used with what for cannabis none of them say bloom or grow its just all fish bone male, sea bird guano, bat guano, bone meal, bio fish, bone meal, Langbeinite, starter mix alfalfa meal, Dolomite Lime, White Azomite Powder, neem seed meal, crab meal, feather meal, kelp meal, Granular Humic Acids, all purpose, fruit tree, bio live, fish meal, Rock Phosphate, bio turf, shrimp meal, blood meal, acid mix, azomite, blood meal, Soluble Agmino Powder, citrus mix, cotton seed meal, root zone, root growth enhancer, green sand, fish power, theres so many its crazy

Down to Earth is a trusted brand for weed , most organics need 2-3 weeks to break down , so it needs a bit of planning. I top feed every 3 weeks . The amount per gallon of soil should be on the package

Soil building is a art. What did you start with . I started with a Coot’s soil mix.

I looked at down to earth but decided against it for the very reason you are having trouble with: it’s just too many components and it confused me. I ended up going with Dr Earth because of a clear, simple feeding chart and only three components. The kicker is my home depot carries their line.

Organics is a buffet, you build your microbe population that break down your organics, and your plant takes what it needs . Totally different than bottle fertilizer. A good start is recharge

@xwhitex , growing with organics is harder at first, but the rewards in yield and flavor is worth it .

@Buck29048 There are tons of super soil recipes out there. I use coot’s soil mix , it needs 3-6 weeks to cook . I normally save some of the soil for top dressing. Never used Dr Earth fruit to flower, but I here good things about Dr. Earth. I never toss out soil. I have a batch soil cooking while I’m growing, To avoid having to wait on cooking soil. Soil mix is when you add amendments directly to the soil ,add moisture or tea to cook. This soil is good for 3-6 weeks depending on how big your pot and plant is .So around week 3 top dressing is needed. I only top dress 2 times during a plants life.
