which nutrient is best for soil ?

[Guest 18340]

Points of best advice

"Less is better" Some strains love lots of nutes most like very little! Start by using smallest recommended amount. Also if everything looks good do not increase thinking I can get it even better!

"Follow feeding schedule" I use the Fox Farm family of nutes and follow the schedule carefully. Fox Farm nutes are not the cheapest but well worth the money and are 100% organic.

Worst advice:

Miracle Grow Nutes! First off this is a chemical nute and will build up salts quickly causing nute lock if you do not flush often. Know this by experience.

I also recommend alternate nuted water and plain water. What this does is lets the plants absorb the excess nutes from the nuted watering and cuts down the need to do a complete flush. If you use nuted water every time you run the risk of nute buildup because the plant can't absorb all the nutes every time and this builds up over time.

Wish you the best of luck and keep us posted.

I copied/pasted this off FoxFarms website:
We do offer some fertilizers with mineral-based, time-release ingredients that are not classified as organic. These include American Pride® and Marine Cuisine® fertilizers, Tiger Bloom® and Grow Big® liquids, and our soluble products like Cha Ching®, Beastie Bloomz®, and Open Sesame®.

As for Miracle Grow, it does not build up salt any quicker than any other chemical based nutrient. Not only do i use MG nutes in soil, i use it in coco. Coco has to get nuted water every day, and i have yet to have any kind of build up, in soil or coco. Even with organics, its all in how you use it.
Theirs a few guys here who've seen my shit up close and personal and they can attest to the power of MG. Infact, there was a certain, shall we say "bold" member who liked to tell cops to fuck themselves and he would grow hundreds of potted MJ plants in his yard with MG.
Anyway, not saying MG is the best, no way, i swear by GH 3 part, but it is totally usable and will give you great weed.

I have grown in super soil using general hydroponics 3 part for years and swear by it . Ive tryed everything and nothing makes my plants greener or bigger than GH for me anyway . Good luck n your hunt for ferts .

I used to use the GH 3-part as well. Great stuff.

The reason I prefer the Flora Nova series now is due to them having a professional mix of additives thrown in now.

One bottle for Grow.
One bottle for Bloom.

My plants have never been this lush and healthy when I was using the 3-part. They were always healthy but not like this...... The Flora Nova stuff is amazing, especially when used at 8ml/gal (Lucas Formula) for bloom.

No fuss, just Bang on silly crazy fun plants.

Hello everyone,
I have used BioBizz and loved it. One thing tho you should ALWAYS ask your nute supplier when buying organic nutes is how long the containers have been on the shelf. I learned from this AFTER my first purchase of BioBizz and the shelf life is not very long ( 6-8 months is what was told to me). If your a newbie growing a small garden, then I recommend buying the small bottle size and use it all up.BioBizz can be expensive and believe me, when it goes bad and you need nutes now, you'll be pissed. Great product tho combined with mollasses and you'll be tasting some sweet herb my friend. Good luck.

I like pure blend pro for veg and tiger bloom for flower.Of course without adding mycorrhizae to your soil mix you wont know the full potential of any fert IMO

I've been using Bio bizz (Grow, Bloom, Topmax), and so far so good!

My Magical Grapefruit is now on its 6th week of flowering and is now getting 2ml/l Grow, 4ml/l Bloom and 3ml/l Topmax and every third watering just plain water and seems to be liking it.

I would probably not go any higher than that, eventhough Bio Bizz's chart shows 4ml/l Grow, 4ml/l Bloom and 4ml/l Topmax but I suppose that's for vegetables or other plants that grow fruits and so on, plants that require lots and lots of nitrogen all the time.

I will definately use organic nutrients also in the future, as I am using organic soil - makes perfect sense.

I noticed this as well Jazz, especially the Topmax which seems to go off alot quicker than the others (around 2-3 months),
whenever i use Topmax again in the future i'll just be buying the smaller 500ml bottles to last 1 flowering cycle then stock up on a new bottle for the following grow

peace
