Yes. Depending on your grow style you may use a few things. I am mostly organic now, but use espoma tomato-tone and a bit of lime, etc. If it comes in a bottle with a cartoon on front, you don’t need it.

I don’t have an issue with fish fert, I use crab and shrimp meal but I make it myself. But the labels do verge on cartoonish. I was picturing these, which I know many people use successfully, but do they really need them? I think many run into trouble trying to use all the bottles some guy at the hydro store sold them, and there’s really no need.

No, I agree. I was just joking about the neptune's harvest. It's actually really good stuff. The should drop the cartoons though, just to eliminate any confusion. Lol

OP,
YES! Bugbee is correct. In addition to that, a LOT of the secret formula weed potions are just regular ferts dissolved in water and then given a snappy label. Keep in mind that there are companies that have been doing research work on fertilizers for decades. Miracle Gro sometimes gets a bad rep, but I just watched a video where one of the Miracle Gro bagged soil mix outdid Fox Farm and every other company, by a mile! But, it shouldn't be that much of a surprise since The Miracle Gro company has been doing it for so much longer than anyone else.
Anyway, yeah Peter's 20-20-20 will work just fine. I like Jack's 3-2-1 system. Master Blend is also a good one.

Mega Crop is the answer. Been using it exclusively in hydro for 3 years. Complete, cheap and clean, with good buffering, and dead simple.

Yep, all a plant wants or even needs is seventeen essential plant nutrient elements and that is available in base feeds.
How does Mega Crop work in soil?

Mega Crop is $48 + $25 shipping. BTW, N-P-K is 9-7-14 for Megacrop.

Compost tea takes care of my nutrient needs in soil, but megacrop would work as well as any other salt-based nutrient regimen. Certainly could be used to address any deficiency.
