I posted on here the other day about Mediums and Nutes for an Organic grow...
I am thinking of using roots organic soiless mix along with FFs Bllom and Grow liquid nutes...
Heres the thing, I have never grown anything but soil with lowes and walmart nutes(blood and bone meal ect ect) and dont know what other nutrients and micr nutes are nessassary when growing organic soiless...
I could really use some in depth opinions on soiless mediums, organic nutes and micronutes along with use and maintenance...

I will be using a 250w and 1000w HPS lights in a decent grow area with a 2x4x3 grow box for flower...

I REALLY appreciate any help guys...
and +1 rep for help as well...

Foxfarm liquid grow is not organic . Some organic liquid nutes have mircronutes . I use age old organics and Liquid Karma . Why did u choose to go soiless?

I don't like soil growing, I have has some random problems with it...
I want to try Hydro,m but would like to go soiless first.
I like the idea of being in control of my plants environment...

Blue mountain organics man, homebrewed delicious shit, that combo pack is all you really need from start to finish...but for cheap soil less mixture id mix promix worm castings kelp meal and lime. With that combo you cant go wrong
I have really been thinking of getting this combo pack actually... Does anyone know what a good medium would be for the BMO nutrients...From veg to flower...
I am thinbking of using a coco verm pelite mix....I livein FL and the nearest hydro shop is 75 min away, so I'm going with what I can order and get localy...I have BOMB seeds though, and want to be able to produce good amounts of good tomatoes.....

haha yea tomatoes are the shit. pro mix or any 3.8 cuft bale of peat with perlite should be fine as a medium, they can be found at almost any greenhouse/nursery. Adding any organic material is always good for organics but if you wanted to run pro mix with the bmo lineup im sure you would be fine, they have pretty much all the basis and then some covered in their fertilizers. I always try to add at least lime to my mixes because it helps stabilize ph throughout the grow and also adds calcium and magnesium. Worm castings, mushroom compost, manure, any type of meal(bone, blood, fish etc), kelp meal, azomite all great amendments that add micro nutrients and solid npk.

Realize that thats going over the top with amendments and though it would be great isnt possible for everybody. Try to stick to the bmo lineup, a promix like soilless medium, lime to stabilize ph and some sort of wormcasting or manure would be nice but isnt necessary.

EDIT: Lots of farms and other places have tons of waste products, such as manure, that they'd be more than happy to give away for free
