Nutrients for soil grows

Sunbiz1 · Oct 28, 2013

I make my own Promix, then modify it:

2 parts peat
1/3 cup dolomite lime/gallon of peat to adjust ph.
1 part aged compost/humus
1/2 part perlite

I use the Plant-tone, as per bag instructions.

And that's it, although just began using Earth juice bloom during flowering...cuz' it's cheap and plants seem happier.

I went and picked up that Overdrive from AN to finish it off
Should be great with the added Mag

Veg nutes:
b-52

My line of nutes for flowering now are
Big Bud wk 2-4
Nirvana 3-6
Overdrive 5 -7
Molasses to feed beneficials
My soil is a 1 to 1 ratio of ffof and ff happy frog

Sound like a decent start up? Plan on sticking in this area of nutes.
Lmk what you think!
Thanks :eyesmoke:

Just started up again, so no pics as yet. 2 year ago I used Plagron Terra grow, for veg, then used Plagron Terra Bloom. I used Future Harvest Develpment's Super B+ all the way through, during flowering I added Future Harvest Developments Bud Start - Ton o Bud - Heavies to finish. got good results but I'm wanting to experiment with other stuff from regular garden centres. So I'm going to try soluble Potatoe food by Verve, for flowering on 2 of my plants and do exactly what I done last time on the others. NPK 8-12-36.

Do you mix all these together before potting or do you layer them in the pot?

Thanks for reply...I asked because I have a friend that used similar nuts but layered in a 100g grow bag. The grow was in northern Cal, outside and sativa(+12'T). I'm wondering if the layering would work well scaled down for tall 5g pot and growing indica with good results...

I use Plagron Grow mix and Canna Nutrients supplemented with some Fox Farms stuff I have leftover. I use the "light" feeding schedule on Canna Nutrients website. I've only done a few grows with Canna Nutrients but so far I'm very impressed.

IMO,No need to layer jsut use it,Mixed real good.
Ive heard of ppl layering and putting the Guano from the middle to bottom,But why try and cut corners.
In a 5g not alot of nutes like a 100g,So no big cost factor.

That is the only sort of layering that I have heard of....where
people put more nutrients down where the plant will find them
when it matures.

Usually these materials are harmful to the plant if concentrated.
(i.e. the otherwise wonderful Espoma Tone)

I also used General Organics line last grow, BioThrive Grow, Bloom, and CalMag, plus molasses. I couldnt keep my PH levels low enough no matter what i tried. This grow i use PH Perfect Sensi Grow and supplement with the General Organics. Its working awsome.

If you don't use the BioRoot and BioWeed with the BioThrive, CaMg+ then the pH will be off. That's why I use the full line.

I'm running Growology by Doggett & Simpson this next grow coming up. Still got a few weeks to go in flower though.

Growology is EASY.....

Step 1) added to soilless mix(or other inert/low nutrient medium) 1/3 cup per gallon of medium. For seedlings and new clones.

Step 2) 1 Tablespoon per gallon of water. Use throughout veg.

Step 3) 1 Tablespoon per gallon of water. Use throughout flower.

NO OTHER NUTRIENTS/ADDITIVES NEEDED(i.e. CaMg+)......

We'll see how well it works.

Organic baby.
Worm castings and volcanic dust for veg
Bat guano, sea bird guano, chicken guano and mollasas for flower.

...and I bet there are a bunch of u who r gonna jump down my throut for that one.

Less is more, how many grows have been poisoned and crops destroyed by over/nutes, over/water by well meaning, but inexperienced gardeners.
If you look at the ingredients of all of the expensive "organic" nutes you are going to find Bat or Bird Guano, all include worm castings
Nothing fancy...Worm Casting tea 1-0-0 every other water during veg.
Bird Guano during flower.

Just read all this and there's A LOT of good info in here, especially for a beginner like myself. This is my first grow and I'm trying decide what soil and nutes to use. If anybody could help push me in the right direction that would be great. I would like to use organic but idk if I wanna order that much stuff and mix it all for my first time. So I would like to know if there is an already made up organic kind with the guano and castings and what not that you guys think works well. If so could somebody tell me all the types I would need, give me some directions and tell me the best place to buy it and about how much it should cost? I have no hydro shops around so it's either Lowes or internet. If you think I would be better off with something else let me know.

Thanks btw! Trying to go to Lowes for stuff tonight.
