Just get a composs with no additives this will only leed to trouble plus you will be putting nutrients in i use vitalink a b veg/bloom before anyone says it i know that it is a hydrophonic feed but 70% of my grow is hydro plus the soil plants love the stuff.you can also get vitalink for soil plants.sensi plus is also another good feed.Plus i always use a booster like big bud or buddy during the 2 week onwards.

i grow with fox farm ocean forest and earth juice nutes. i use grow, bloom, catalyst, microblast and meta-k. all are really great and i've never experienced any nute burn with them. i also use mexican and jamaican bat guano as teas. the mexican during veg and the jamaican during flower. i layer the top of my buckets with coir to reduce soil compaction and water loss. i had a magnesium deficiency during this grow and i used miracid to clear it up. great stuff, btw. that's about it. :peace:

ps. and i use grandma's unsulfured molasses. now that shit is gold worthy!

Keep it simple dude.

Every time I hed back to my old stomping grounds in NorCal I stop in to examine by buddies grows. They all have the same thing in common. Basic basic basic. They us Miracle Grow Organic with about 10-25% of plain perlite as their soil mix. Some add in regular MG as well. For nutes many use Botanical or Botanigarden...can't remember the name. It's popular organice stuff. I've copied fdd and have gone with Age Old Veg and Age Old Bloom. My plants look great but so do all my friends.

I say go organic and keep it simple. I don't know anyone that uses apple juice, molasses or other additional stuff like that. In the end plants only need various amounts of NPK. Once you notice a probem or deficiency then start playing around with other nutes to stabilize your grow. Many many grows in the Mecca of NorCal rely only on MG Organic Soil, Perlite and organic nutes.

If you have your plants on six or seven different feeding regimins it can become very difficult to pinpoint what caused a possible problem.

why would you have your plants on six or seven feeding regimes? everything gets the same thing each time. you just have to be on top of your grow. if you are growing the same strain they should all be developing at the same rate.

earth juice nutes are 100% organic and so are guano teas... so i'm not catching your point.

type molasses into the search engine and see what comes up. or better yet, read this thread:
