Couple questions abut soil/nutes.

[thatguy77]

1. Is this a good soil? http://menards.com/main/more/lawn-garden/lawn-care/garden-safe-trade-all-purpose-potting-soil/p-1490737-c-10116.htm
2. Would "General Hydroponics 3 part flora" work good?
3. When should i start using each nute and how much of each? (I dont trust the feeding schedules on the website)
4. Is there anything i HAVE to do with my plants? (topping or somethin like that? Or can i just grow them and give them nutes and transplant?)

Thanks the who helped or tried!

Never heard of that soil. I would use something that is known for growing the crop your growing it will save you a lot of headaches.
You can use hydro nutes in soil but why not use soil nutrients instead - they are made for soil and growing in soil with hydro nutes is gonna be hard work.

If your set on the GH look up the lucas formula but its for hydro man not for soil.

If your growing in soil get some bio bizz or a good reputable soil and a grow nute and a bloom nute with a booster make sure they are for soil.

This will make your life soo much easier.

If you have any questions fire away, thats just my 2cents

I use house and garden but Bio-bizz, sugar peak and canna are good.

No company makes bad nutrients really its just a case of using them properly and knowing what to do where.

If you want tomato feed does the job, but I would recommend bio bizz both the soil and the nutes. Or house and garden which rock but the feed schedule is pretty complex and they are expensive to start out with.

See what you can get hold of : )

use your urine as one of your nutes.........water it down. i use that, homemade compost/tea, and a little kelp/fish extract.

I would use something out of a bottle, doesnt smell as bad in your grow room lol
