i have read so many theard about nute burn with it ..
if you have a few plants use one as a tester
start off at the most 1/8 strength

i would stay away from it. it is made with nasty stuff. finish this one iff and stay low on the nutes, no nutes if it is mg soil also

vermiculite or perlite. the back yard soil is no good. next time by a bag of decent stuff. no time release or mg soil.

**Monkeynts** · 08-25-2008, 07:48 AM

oh and its perlite

with 14 buck you aren`t going to be able to do much. i would just spend it all on good soil, some bone meal and blood meal, those are probably the cheepest way to go. or no nutes at all you will probably be better off.
you probably dont have a ph tester and if so i wouldn`t touch the nutes. no ph tester just the soil, vermiculite and perlite
