how much fertilizer/nutes do you go through in a season?

sorry if this question is overly vague, just trying to fill in some of the holes in my plan for next year and hopefully work up a rudimentary budget.

I have a very basic understanding of the concept of the nutes, how you need different levels of N,K,and P during veg and flowering, etc., but before I can start working on prices or even which specific nutes to go with...what kind of volume are we talking about? a bottle of each? 5? 10?

For the sake of keeping math simple, let's say it is a grow of 10 plants. I'm planning on growing outdoors in the ground but with holes and some sort of potting soil. It's going to be a guerrilla grow, so I won't be checking on them every day, but I should be able to get out there once or twice a week to feed and water.

I'm trying to keep it as basic as i can for right now. I'm not trying to grow some super-dank crystally bud that would grace the pages of high times my first year out...but i don't want to just throw some seeds in the ground and grow crap, either. just some nice, healthy plants to enjoy throughout the year.

thanks for the help

maybe just a wild guess?

have you check SubCool s supersoil in the organic section ?

thanks, i had skimmed over that earlier but i thought it was just a soil base to start from that still required nutes throught the season. i read it a little more closely and not only will that work, it sounds like that will actually smooth out a few of the other wrinkles in my plan. appreciate it

10 plants, you are looking at a bottle each of Big Bloom, Grow Big and Tiger Bloom (assuming you use Fox farms) and maybe a little more dependant on their needs.

Some of those fertilizers can really hurt the wallet. When I first started growing back in my teens I took horse manure by the 5 gallon bucket from my neibour and I would use about half a bucket for each 2x2 foot hole, one plant per hole. (not knowing back then) I bought a cheap all purpose fertlizer 12-12-12, water soluble. And Id feed that to my plants and they just seemed to love it. That all purpose fertlizer is about ten bucks per container at like walmarts, canadiantire etc, and one of those will last a long time, like that could probably sustain 30-40 plants for a season. My methods are alot different now, I just thought Id share this with you because If you dont have much experience growing, you dont need to much money to grow pot especially if you dont even know if you can keep the plants alive. My first 2 or 3 years I barely spent any money at all on growing and I still had loads of bud and of superb quality. Ive seen friends put clones in the ground, just bare dirt, dont even work the soil, throw a hand of bagged fertlizer next to it and leave it, and it grows, producing nice buds. lol im just saying you dont need the best stuff on the market for the best pot.
