Im not tryen to do hydroponics, im doing normal soil growth, would that fertelization mix do the same. I was just debating on if i should just get some organic fertilizer from farm and fleet with N-P-K.:joint: :peace:

Here's what I ended up using ... and grew prized pot plants with it. Just remember, never exceed 1/4 strength.

For vegging: Peter's "Jack's Classic" 20-20-20.

For Flowering: Peter's "Jack's Classic Blossom Booster" 10-30-20.

Here's where to order by mail: http://www.jacksclassic.com/

Forget High Times. They are in the magazine selling business. Trust me, Bro ... the ferts I suggested are really great.

The 1/4 strength is what you want to use. By that I mean never exceed 1/4 of the dose printed on the label of the fertilizer container. And, if you are using a good soil mix, you won't need any fertilizers at all for around 45 days.

Yea, high times sells mags. Fertalizer companies sell ferts. They wont tell you to use just a little bit. And most widely available ferts aren't really made for the purpose you will be using them for. Even the dosing schedule for my hydro nutes is way too strong by the back of the bottle directions.

I like the Jack's Classic series, very simple, very effective.


This schedule works well with a soil-less mix without nutrients added.

Start with a weaker mix rather than stronger, because less is more!


Seedlings and early veg.-----1/8 to ¼ teaspoon of Jack’ Classic All Purpose per gallon of water.

Veg cycle------Indoors-----1/4 to 1 teaspoon indoors, depending on growth rate, strain, etc.
Outdoors-----3/4 to1-1/2 teaspoon per gallon……..All Purpose.


For Flowering I simply switch to Jack’s Classic Blossom Booster

im talking about jacks blossem bloom, does it look like blue crystels that u put in the water??????!!!

Yes ... they look like blue crystals. Its called Peter's Jack's Classic Blossom Booster 10-30-20 ... and should only be used during the flowering cycle. For vegging, use Peter's Jack's Classic 20-20-20.

You may have some difficulty finding it at your local nursery outlets because Peter's doesn't have national, or international distribution. They distribute mostly on the East Coast USA. But ... the good news is, you can order it through the mail from here: http://www.jacksclassic.com/

i have shultz potting soil plus, will this soil be good for the hole growth of my weed plant?

i know i need to add fetalizer to the plants later on but can I keep using the potting soil I already have.

It says it encourages blooming, but I assum its ok for veg to.
