espoma, or black kow original, i compost anything i buy from there with worms for about a month to make it a little bit richer and add anything high in sugar or fruit. you have to remember those bags of soil are sitting in the store for very long, possibly a few months. for seedlings, they have stuff thats low in nutrients, honestly id just start in jiffy pots or peat. they sell clone domes there for pretty cheap, they're perfect for seedling/clones.
im on riu mostly during the outdoor season, so PM to get in contact, posts could take longer for a response but ill check in when i can.

Have a great one. Advice is for folks with a legal grow and worth what you paid for it.

this ph test kit might prove better than the ph pen link that I posted above. You can dial things in better...more work, better results though

Thanks for the links! Looks like i'm going to have to make a run to home depot today!
if your growing in soil and you want to save money skip the ph testers....that rarely contributes to any type of problem in soil...

i use the $8 soil 3-way soil tester from home depot for testing my pots... and for fertilizer i use osmocote time release 14 14 14 or miracle grow shake n feed 10 10 10 till flowering then its shake n feed rose food 18 24 16 in all my potted plants, from herbs to tomatoes in soil use chicken shit, my own worm castings, my own compost and crumbled up dried eggshells, plaus some shellfish shells now and again.
that fish emulsion stuff works real good but it smells like ass, rotten unwashed ass. if you bring that shit in the house, be prepared for the bachelor life. epsom salts is a dangerous game, too much and your plants die, anything less than that, and you wont see you did anything at all. unless they are hydroponic, most plants will never be short on magnesium, manganese, boron, iron or copper micro nutrients are used in such small amounts most soil already has ample supply for decades of plant growth, and every time you ad any fertilizer all those things come with.
just good old fashioned natural home made fertilizers for soil, and scientific fertilizers for plants n pots works best, osmocote and shake n feed are safe for yuo and your plants, cheap, easy to use, effective and dont stink.
dont listen to this guy ^ stay away from miracle grow and anything time released
hey...I was just answering the question as to what nutes they would get from home depot that would work well. The ones I posted work awesome and they said they are growing outdoors so the fish emulsion fertilizer is ideal. The epsom salts are for "just in case" not to be used with every feeding. The lime is for ph control. If you want to grow good bud in soil, whether it be indoor or outdoor it is always good to have a soil test kit. There will be a day when they say.."whats wrong with my plant" and that will help them diagnose the problem. I have seen plenty of experienced growers with deficiencies growing outdoors. Its always nice to have the tools available to make it easier.
