Hey everyone,

This is my first round of indoor growing and I'm going organic. I'm using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil mixed with some extra perlite.

The guy at my hydro store suggested I used Pure Vida nutrients for my grow but I don't feel its very strong.

Pure Vida GROW 6-4-3
That sounds pretty week to me..
Total Nitrogen............ 6%
6% Organic Nitrogen
Available Phosphate...3%
Soluble Potash...........3%
Magnesium.................0.5%
Boron.........................0.02%
Soluble Copper..........0.05%
Iron...........................0.1%
Manganese...............0.05%
Zinc...........................0.05%

Pure Vido BLOOM 2-6-6
Total Organic Nitrogen...2%
Available Phosphate......6%
Soluble Potash..............6%
Magnesium....................0.5%
Boron.............................0.02%
Soluble Copper..............0.05%
Iron...............................0.1%
Manganese...................0.05%
Zinc...............................0.05%

So thats what my nutrients provide and I'm pretty sure that I can give them more without burning them.

If you guys could please give me a hand and let me know what I can do to increase my nutrients. I'm thinking about getting some of Humboldts Nutrients for bloom cause I've been hearing some great things about those but let me know what you guys think. Thanks

The answer is simple. Use mycorrizhae and you will cut the nutritional req's of your plants by a lot. That is more than enough nutes if you use fungi in your grow.

Not to mention disease resistant, grow faster and healthier, transplant shock-resistant, etc.

Mycorrizhae, are the WAY to go for organic grows. They are as important as water IMO.

Those shops always push what they want, but as for me I went FF grow big in veg, and wow wonderful stuff. And then Fox Farm Big Bloom for Flower with some Molases and also I used cha ching beastie Bloomz and Open Seasame.
I would harvest 5-7 oz per plant.

I forgot to include this. Both are 1-part formulas. They can be combined together to make an "Aggressive Two-Part Formula for High Demand Crop Production" lol.

|Vegetative| per Gal/H20 (Soil)
GROW BLOOM
6 tsp 1.5tsp

|Flowering| per Gal/H20 (Soil)
GROW BLOOM
4 tsp 6tsp

Thanks for the input, but I'm looking for things I can add to what I already have. I don't want to go out and buy a new line of nutes except for the Humboldt products for flowering.

Merahoon..... The OF Soil is top notch (but hot nute wise). Most people cut it at least 1/3, some by 1/2 using coco coir, sphagnum peat moss or Light Warrior. It's really well made, but a little too hot to start seeds in.
.
Subcool has a thread in his sub-forum where he talks about Super Soil. OF Soil is pretty much equal in effect to Super Soil. Give that thread a look. It's full of good info and will save some typing on my part. It gives tips on how not to nute burn your plants.
.
The Pure Vida numbers are fine, don't let the fancy advertising hype and the big numbers some ferts sport - draw you in. In all my years of growing - I've always said better to underfeed than overfeed. One is easily corrected the other is not......
.
Hope this helps....
Keep it Real...Organic....

Malignant... Nice body art..... some people never reach for the stars..... I see you think outside the box.... Nice......
.
Keep it Real.... Inspiring......

Thank you, Ohsogreen. And Malignant, did you want me to find out information then tell you about it???? If thats the case, sorry, I'm not going to do someone else's research. If I grow with it, I'd be happy to tell you the results but I won't research a product for someone cause they don't want to. If thats not the case and you were just offering me good names to work with, thank you very much lol.
