What kind of nutrients do u recommend if your using soil? I been looking around and researching, I mean i see foxfarm and such, but i have no idea which one is better then the other, and or what exactly to look for when looking for nutes. When i goto the store they ask what I am flowering and I usually tell them tomato's. I am just looking for a better and "clearer" direction. Thanks in advance, i prefer organic as my soil is organic.

That is like asking what do u like Nike or rebock. Pick what u want but u need to look at the NPK. Those are the 3 number on the front of what ever brand u chose. U want high N-P during veg and higher K during flower

Yes. Fertilizers that are higher in Phosphorus (the 'P' in N-P-K) are used during flowering.

Welcome Backyard bandit. :cool:

I was under the impression you would need a higher phosphorus value :confused:

i was mixed up too it turns out. i had the symbols right and he had the nutrient needs right lol

anyways, to avoid all this messy mucking about with nutes i'm just using a system from bio-buzz that is organic. i have no qualms with non organics but, from what i have heard i will not have to flush my plants if i go fully organix?

The easy route would to use just about ANY major brand of soil nutes that are organic.

The other way to go would to be mix up your own stuff. Search for threads on that.
