Quick Nute Question

[maaaan]

I'm pretty limited to places in my area to buy nutes but came across these and was wondering your opinions on them as I couldnt find much info at all about them on the site.

For VEG:

Thanks in advance!

I wouldnt do that cause you wont be able to control the nutrients that well and they will very easily give you nute burn. I did this in one of my first grows and killed them in 4 days, and couldnt flush enough because it was still leaching from the nutrients. You could mix them in water i suppose, but i wouldnt put them in/on the soil

i dont see why NOT just use one fourth streght of those nutes, ive heard of ppl using worse then that.. go for it.. just remember lighty..

Yeah its meant to be mixed with water. 1tsp/gallon. which ofcourse it wouldnt be used full strength at first.

Pretty much the only places nearby are walmart, lowes, and home depot. and i dont really want to order online

start 1/4 or 1/2 if its a big plant sure there are better nuts out there but if your like me and just growing to get high then those will do fine

i have read so many different NPK values being used. 20-20-20, 20-10-20, 2-4-2, ect ect ect ectttttttt. i wasnt sure what would be best. but i keep reading that high N during veg is essential and having lower N during flower is needed. the one thing im most concerned about is the 35% P for the bloom

no one has used this before? should i not get it?

Well that fert is for orchids. It is better then nothing. You can pick up some dyna gro for 10-15 bucks and it would be better. That fert is really strong so make sure it is diluted before applying it. You can always add more but you can never take it out!

didnt see any of that at any of the places I went. should i try just using a 1/4 dose or should i not even waste my time with this nute?

Have you looked around for a garden store? They would have all the good nutes!!

You want the higher phosphorus count for flowering bro so that will work just go 1/4 strength as dude said above

Try a local plant nursery. The should have some GH or FF. You just want something mild, as it is easier to mix, and you can always increase the dose.
