what 3 nutrients would you guys use on your plants.. from seed to harvest.. and why ? pics if you have them.. GO!!!
What jerry said. Assuming you already have good compost and/or earth worm castings (ewc). If I had to choose only 3 things to garden with for the rest of my life, they would be: 1) high quality ewc 2) kelp meal 3) comfrey Or if you're a rule breaker like me: 1) high quality ewc 2) kelp meal 3) comfrey 4) alfalfa meal 5) rock dust 6) crab meal 7) neem meal (sorry, I couldn't help it).
hey the more info the better though.. thats pretty much what this is about.. id also like som regular soil nutes thrown in.. i know there are some good foxfarm nutes.. just make sure you lable em.. these i use for my hydro.. these are organis.. and so on..
For soil: General hydroponics: All products are very good, reasonable priced and have both, chemical and organic. GH micro and bloom are used for the very popular Lucas formula. There maxi series bloom is similar to the Lucus and used for the K.I.S.S. method of growing which is a one part base nutrient. Dynagrow: This is a one part grow/bloom formula that is very good and inexpensive. Botanicare: Good products both chemical/organic. They also have one part coco specific nutrients, cns17 and a very good fertilizer.... If your growing organic is best to amend the soil with organic meals, ewc/compost etc. Peat moss and or, coco would be the base soil to amend.
honestly for the price i would use earth juice seablast. its a 3 part organic system, Grow, transition, and bloom each bag contains all trace nutrients. i let it brew in a 5 gallon bucket for 12-24 hours with molasses for the best results. you can use it every watering and the brew process allows the buffers in the nutrient solution to balance ph so you basically dont have to ph test the entire grow, this may sound like a load of bullshit to most but after a year of using the same feeding schedule im 100% confident in that statement. you can see how it works in the link in my signature.

Hah. $135 for 6 lbs of that stuff. I don't even know what to say to that. Or you could make an ACT with good compost/ewc, buy a bag of kelp meal and some alfalfa meal and some crab meal and build a rocking organic soil that you can use for the next 15+ years. Then take your girlfriend out to dinner. And still have money in your pocket and grow danker buds than you'll ever get with stuff like that. Not to mention never even have to buy a pH meter, let alone use it.
Im liking the Maxi Grow powder. it lasts a long time, its cheap only $15 and it works great. i have plants that are 8 weeks veg with lush growth, green stems and big huge fan leaves. My soil is a 1:1 mix of FFOF and Sunshine Advanced. For Flower i use MaxiBloom and Kool Bloom. The kool bloom is pretty pricy but it lasts a while. i use it in conjunction with maxi bloom for the middle 4 weeks of flower. I pull 3-5 zips a plant with this set up every time.
The K.I.S.S.method=maxibloom for veg/flower, liquid koolbloom for early flowering and dry koolbloom for ripening. This method really works for ceap...
I've been on the same bag of shit for 6 months now. You only use a teaspoon per gallon. And it's only one bag at a time you don't mix all 3 at the same time.
whats FFOF ?? conjuction so you instead of 1 tspn you 1/2 and 1/2 teaspoon of both or do you use a whole tspn of both ?
