Ok... To keep it short, I just started a grow a while back... I have a S.A.G.E on day 18/19 under and a Super Lemon Haze and an A-Train on day 9/10...... I am really on a budget and want to buy some nutes on a budget of $125 and keep in mind that the nearest hydro shop away from me that carries any of this stuff is nearly 200 miles away.. Times like these I wish I lived in cali or places online with free shipping on orders over 200 or something... that would help me out a ton.. but most places you have to buy over a grand to get free shipping... sucks...So it's gonna be all internet orders for me, and thats alot of shipping for liquid... so I say in all, it's gonna run me like $200.... I'm only worrying about this first grow.... I just got my 600w HPS System and my 3'W x 2'D x 6'T Tent...(but think i may just turn this into a mother tent with my current 150w, and buy a new 4x4x6 or 4x3x6... what do you all think?).. I bought that Technaflora Recipe for success Kit, but I already want to upgrade and get something a little more well known and respected... and especially some additive nutes.... Dont think I can do Advanced Nutrients, Since they're so damn expensive for me right now... Maybe after this grow...

Can some of you help me out on the nutes you're rockin, and maybe show me pics of your end results... I was thinking maybe Dyna or GH as my Base Veg and Bloom and Botanicare additives.... Or maybe Botanicare base also.... But on my first 2 grows I used Dyna, and had great results...... I really wanna reach my goal and get a LB with my 600w on these 3 strains..... Help me make this happen.:clap:... At least 400g..... I got 98g off 3 plants with my 150w with just dyna gro and bloom Hydroponic style, so I think i can quadruple that with a 600w in Soil and some extra additives and extra knowledge from YOU GUYS!

If you all have any sites in mind that are trusted, and cheapest, and reasonable shipping prices please let me know... I will VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ALL HELP!.... Thanks!

And also keep in mind that I just need enough to get by this first grow.... So I doubt I would need gallons of this stuff, so Liter Size bottles will do..... So Lets hear it...... What Nutes would you buy if you were me?..... Rep+ to everyone who shows interest, and contributes...

Oh... and I currently already have Superthrive, Ph Up and Down, and Bloodmeal... Along with that Technaflora Kit that contains GROW, BOOST, BLOOM, Sugar Daddy, Awesome Blossom, Thrive Alive B-1 Red,Thrive Alive B-1 Green, Root 66, and that cloning gel....... Keep in mind that I also want to Clone, so if you know good stuff for that also, let me know........ I for sure want me some Liquid Karma..... Hear nothing but good things from that......... I cant get ANYTHING here..... I would of loved to use Coco, but it cost more to ship that, than what it actually costs...... They dont sell that stuff here at Lowes or them big chains, huh?..... Same goes with Rockwool and Hydroton...... I'll wait for that on my next round.....All i got here is Miracle Grow Moisture Control Potting Soil from here at Lowes, Unless you all know of something better..

god damn!... That shit is DANK!.... How much wattage do you use, and your nute line?..... Must be one of those who has like a huge collection of nutes, huh?...lol..... I'll be there some day, but for now I just want the priority.... I'm pretty much drained till the 3rd, but I want to place my order by today or tomorrow and spend moreless 125-150 on some nutes... Cuz I also have to buy an exhaust fan and Carbon Filter..... I thought I was gonna have more than enough for the month, but I went crazy buying everything so soon.... I should of done better managing my money...... damn attitude killed me with that promo on the 4th.... Still havent even gotten my seeds yet..... But I didnt even need any seeds, but that promo was hard to pass.... I would of had $200 extra in my pocket if it wernt for that promo.... I could of easily waited to buy seeds later down the road..... They're just gonna sit in my drawer for 3 months anyways....lol..... Next time i wont be so eager. and plan better

Bump... Anyone else?.... i'm in a dilemma .... Dont know whether to stick with the technaflora kit for this grow, and buy a light mover instead of all these nutes instead..... What do you guys think?... Light mover and tech nutes, or get different nutes, and no light mover till the very end of the flowering stage, cuz i really need an exhaust fan/inline fan, and a carbon filter after this purchase....

uhm.

ill just be nice here.

all the nutes in the world arent going to do shit for you unless you have solid genetics. if you hit 1:1 gpw, you will be a little over 1lb.

that being said...experience and genetics will give you yield.

marketing and bullshitt will just leave you with less money.

You could use Maxi Bloom from GH for the whole grow and save a boat load of money and grow the same quality. The Dyna grow suggestion is also a good one providing complete and balanced fertilizer for relatively cheap prices. Good flowers are a result of grower skills more than anything. Anyone suggesting that good results are not possible without using the overpriced over hyped fertilizers and additives is greatly uninformed and has little understanding of fertilizers. Any fertilizer with a complete and balanced fertilizer ratio of NPK, including micro nutrients will grow good plants. The rest is up to you.

Do not be misled by products with catchy names like Composted Coyote Cum or Super Concentrated Sasquatch Shit, These are more for the buyer than the plants.

i was going to say something along similiar lines, but everyone on RIU seems to be brainwashed by big nute company marketing.

People have GREAT results (look up K.I.S.S. thread on icmag) using MAXIBLOOM ONLY the entire grow.

I my self had an amazing grow using ONLY jack's classic (granted i used the veg along with the bloom program).

most of us dont grow on a warehouse scale, there is absolutley NO NEED to complicate matters.

Yeah.... I dont want to be a sucker for all that Advanced Nutrient crap..... Trust me... I had a great grow with Dyna Gro and Bloom..... I think you all got me....... Might just buy that again along with Liquid Karma.... Might buy Maxi bloom also and try that alone.


I watch alot of vids, and everyone praises liquid Karma, so i'll get that for my clones..... and an additive.... and just keep dyna gro and bloom as my base.... and maxi bloom as a booster........ how does that sound?... or is it still too much?...lol...... How about Cal Mag?.... Not needed?....

if you are using the dyna base nutes, no need to add maxi bloom, as it is also a base nute.

CalMag depends on what kind of water you are using (tap water you generally dont, ro water you generally do), and how much calmg is already in dynagro.

To be safe, 3-5ml of calmg per gallon will do you fine.

remember, KEEP IT SIMPLE!

So the person who used Maxi bloom throughout the whole grow, used it through Veg also?......... I've seen awesome results with someone using the GH Base Nutes (3 Part system) but gotta check out that maxi bloom grow.. lets see if i find it

I use a laser pointer I got for free for lights.
The tear from a wounded sparrow for nutes
and 3 specks of dust from the window sill of a church for my medium
and use an old dixie cup as a pot.

Cost "0" harvest 23 lbs after 2 weeks of veg and 3 1/2 weeks of flower.

I know but it was funny so I just had too..
