What Nutes/Additives/Supplements Do You Use and How? - Nutrients and Fertilizers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Just a simple poll trying to figure out what ferts other growers out there like to use, and in what strengths and whatnot. I myself have always just been all over the place. I've used ej, ff, straight guanos, compost n castings, and even bare medium with no ferts. Trying to see what you guys think?

I put up a new one with the things I missed, I hope this is not a problem.

I am currently using a mixture of Botanicare(PB Original Grow and Bloom) and FF(Big Bloom) but I will be moving to the full line of Earth Juice and go totally organic.

*** As Requested... re-post from previous poll ***

I had one aborted soil grow years ago. After that i spent 6 months on CW and OG reading everything on hydro.

Lucas had the methods that were successful for newbs about 80% of the time and there were enough growers with experience that my questions would be answered. Never had any questions.... ran a beautiful grow the first time out, minimal efforts. I've been growing hydro ever since.

I started with mixing the GH Flora series using the 0-8-16 ratios that Lucas recommends. I've since switched to GH FloraNova Bloom and use it for veg and bloom, hydro and soil. I'm about to switch from that to GH MaxiBloom and just go with the cheapest nute that gives my plants everything they need to do well. I figure I'll play with Floralicious+ after a few runs with just the Maxibloom.

Whatever you do.... look for the simplest way you can find that gets good results, has a lot of people doing it and can be found easily. Once you have a few grows under your belt, you'll be able to focus on the nutes more as you'll know the plant pretty well by then. Keep it simple... you have a lot of information to absorb.

Stay Safe!

Typically I use Fox Farm only, but this outdoor season I added Shultz Bloom to the mix.

I like using Grow Big for veg time(like normal). I then like Tiger Bloom for the outdoor transition between veg and fruit since it takes longer outside- Tiger Bloom has plenty of N and of course blooming agents. Every other watering during the entire fruiting cycle and perhaps once or twice at the end of veg I use Fox Farm Big Bloom, it's loaded with micronutrients and bacteria. I use the Shultz Bloom in lower than suggested dosings every watering outdoors until the final 15 days, which belong to molasses-water.

Every year I turn Mexican bagseed into top of the line bud. I'm not saying it is tremendously hard, but I think it is a fun grow.
