nah, I love fox farm actually, its just so often here new growers fail. after some questions it seems ff
is in the mix more often than not in newbie fail I bet
I can see that. It's not as easy for a noob as they make it sound. The bottle says tablespoons, the schedule teaspoons. Last grow I've used it every other watering and it turned out ok for a first time. This time I've used it two times in 5 weeks of veg and it's not going too well

it doesnt get any easier than this no fuss no frills perfect approach. I've found no other organic fertz bought or made that performed better than this and put my entire love of hydroponics in the rafter of my grow building, and out of my head almost. it just didnt measure up for me all around, and I havent used a wet dry vac since !!

place rooted clone into fresh new fluffed pro mix and mixing a teaspoon of fish powder ferts in a one gallon container
cover rooting plug with pro mix and add water till soaked, make sure it drains every time. water when dry. veg for 30-45 days, 10-18 inches tall, then to flower. under 1000 watt lamps, rh below 50%, temps 75=85, c02 augmented. 12/12.

when roots collect at the bottom, let it dry a bit, pop it out, into a 5pail of fresh new promix, cover the one gallon plug with promix(hp) and with a shot glass (oz)of fish fertilizer, and .....
4 cups of Organicare crumbles(follow the directions) mixed into the topsoil, not the bucket. add one gallon of water at once.
if none drains by tomorrow increase on next dry out/watering. change out wet drip pans... kick the bucket, notice dry and wet weights for future waterings.

halfway through flower cycle add four more cups of Organicare, another half shot of fish powder fert. work into the top soil.
add anything but your untreated tapwater when dry and all bets are off. otherwise I guarantee the best growing experience you ever had. harvest about the time the breeder says she'll finish, or when solid cloudy with some occurrences of amber shortly after.

any questions?

I might try organic eventually. Just want to use up my shit first.
The plants this go are much bigger but I'm fighting what I thought was nute burn but I'm now closer to think it's potassium deficiency.

Most of the stuff you use, are not locally available to me.
