I'm looking at the Dutch Formula 1,2,3 package and just wondering if they can be diluted for soil use.

I have used nutes in soil before without problems, but not the brand you have.

most hydro nutes can be adapted to be used on soil and usually at the same dosing recommended for your hydro res. the only thing you really need to watch for is PH and maybe start at 1/2 strength and work your way up slowly to make sure you dont burn your ladies

you used the nutes before in the soil but did it hav noticable results?

im using good soil, with a guana mixture and macro/micro time dissolve tablets with a vegtable 6/6/6 NPK fert and everything is fine but I would rather switch the veg fert for a higher nitrogen fert.

I think I'm gonna try it but my plants are 5 weeks old now and are looking really strong I just want to see if I can send them a bit more higher in the next month.

thanks for the help.

Your plants are prob fine, hydro nutes at this point will probably burn them. Wait until the switch to flower or until they start to show deficiency.

If they are doing good then more ferts will only hurt you, no need fixing something that isn't broken.

in my first ever grow, i ordered some food for soil and ended up getting subsrta flos"hydro food".
i used this food and my plants were over fed due to hydro food being lots stronger than soil based food.
my plants were over fed, all my leaves were getting food build up on them and so did the stalks.
my plants were soo much over fed they wernt good enuf to smoke.

so i would say water the hydro food down to a 1/4 and that should be ok.
