I'm looking for some cheap nutes that assist in growth or yield.

I bought miracle gro shake pellets but I am scared they may damage plants

defintely dont go with the micrale grow cause it will be a micrale if that nutrient grows anything good, idk what u consider cheap nutrients, try the happy frog all purpose, mix it in with ur soil and try the happy frog bulb food for flower use as a top dressing, both are relativly cheap, same with dr.earth they have alota solid nutrients for good price, keep in mind when growing organic u need to use water that has no chlorine in it, so if u have a good water source all u need is sum all purpose for veg and bulb food for flower that will be sufficent for good growth and flower, if u have the extra cash try using malibu's compost bu's brews compost tea bags, u have to brew the tea ur self but a air pump and air stone is under ten bucks at wally world, the bu's brew i get for 12 bucks at my local shop, also check the soil u buy make sure its good organic soil like fox farm (a good cheaper soil is kellogs garden & bloome), if its pre mixed with mycorrhizae the better but if not the all purpose will add sum mycos to the soil mix, buying a mycorrhizae innoculant is relavitly cheap too depending on what company u go with, ask ur local garden store to show u all the myco products, other than that all ul need to get is sum un-sulphured molasses to add to ur teas and ur golden, jus remeber that organics relies on good water sources having chlorine in ur water will kill all the mycos and make it very hard for ur plant to eat, if ur lookin into buying liquid nutrients u wont find very many cheap, and liquid nutrients are more suited for the indo enivorment where as outdoors if u let nature do her thing and feed ur soil the soil will feed the plant and give u sum excellent results

or if u dont want to go organic and wanna use synthetics than angryblackman is right maxsea is all u need, it is somewhat expensive tho and it is a 2 part formula so u will need the grow and bloom but anything is better than micrale grow and i have seen sum folks pull off sum nice blue dreams using maxsea so if u prefer synthetic nutes then maxsea is what u want for outdoor

It's not that expensive. I was able to pick up the 24oz containers for $21.95 each and will last me 2 seasons with my plant count.

How many plants would maxsea bloom cover

Edit: I will probably just buy Alaska fish fert from lowes, how many will that cover?

I know a woodsmen that goes out and throws a handful of miracle gro pellets into his predug holes one month before planting...then he fills the hole with fafard soil and puts the plants in...later in the year he goes back out and throws a handful of peters something or other that is like 6-18-36...and he says if it gets real dry sometimes he'll go water them...and that is all...and they always do well...so...I have never grown outdoors so I know of it only what he has told me...but I also know he gets trees...lol

Miracle grow fertiliser is ok. It's their soil that is cr@p. which is what has given them the bad rep. People on here just hear the name and slag it off. It may be too strong at the stated rates of application but that is like saying that 5 bowls of cereal is too much for breakfast because that's what the cornflakes manufacturers tell you you need to eat. Of course they do, they are trying to sell the stuff. You don't have to use all of it.
Any fish, blood or bone types can attract dogs, foxes and any other carnivores with a good sense of smell. They start digging as they think there is a corpse buried.

alot more critters than that u have to worry about, i got the liquid fence last year for deer and rabbits as those were the primary concern, and in the end it was squirrels ad chipmunks giving me issues, who would know. i thought it was rabbits because it started with the low branches, they would eat all the leaves surrounding the buds, but wouldnt touch the bud, after all the low braches were cleared of any good green leaves i noticed some of my big tops missing leaves, and in consequence of the critters crawling all over my plants, i would constantly get broken branches, and constantly have to tie up braches. pain in the ass. chicken wires a must this yr

Is DG grow considered expensive? It's $40 / gallon, but 1 gallon makes 250 gallons of full-strength fertilizer, so it's really like $.16 a gallon.

Hehe! Well I am actually growing in such a place that has no squirrels, and I see no critters either. Furthermore, the harvest will be surrounded with thorn plants.

I assume you mix dynagro with every watering? Do you know the ratio of dynagro to water amount?

I am so jealous. I grow in hydro and it costs me about £15 a litre. Works out about £1 a gallon when mixed.
