very much so... try just drinking water for a few weeks with no food and see how good you feel now imagine being a plant lol
You do eat, don't you? Well, fun fact, plants do too! They need nutrients to survive and grow big, get some!
nutrients are necessary........... 30$ bottles from the hydro store are not..... You can make a good soil mix and never have to feed any bottled stuff; and your plants will still get all their required nutrients
Yeah if you start with a solid soil mixture then you don't need to add nutes. But if your choosing to grow soilless then nutes are necessary.
go organic and make things a shit load more fun for ya!! and enjoy better tasting herb as well. im pretty new and wasted money, time and very anxious hours of my life in a needles stew over ph, nuet uptake or deficently of some sort. go green!! u wont regret it
