Okay guys, I've been looking at the nutes threads and they almost always are for hydroponics. I myself am a new grower, so I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what kind of nutes I should get. I realize there are also plenty of others joining daily and most of the stuff on these threads won't help out a newbie. It's all more experienced people talk. So I thought I'd make a thread that focuses on Soil Nutrients, and have the basic stuff that you can buy at Wal-Mart or Lowe's, not things you have to order or buy from a hydro shop. I'm talking about nutrients I can put in the soil, and/or in the water. The simple basics. So anyone who can help shed some light on the situation, please do so. It would be greatly appreciated.
Everything I use for growing has come from lowes or wal-mart,ive been growing marijuana:) in my closet for the past 2.5yrs im not an expert by no means but i know what im doing.Pm if your serious peace.

Man you need to read up on shit if you're going to be doing this. There are plenty of good threads on here about soil nutes and when and how. I understand you wanting to be lazy and not take the time to search for anything at all but there are other sites beside this one. Plus a lot of people have different views on this topic so use a little common sense and make it work for you. Plus good luck finding anything to work specifically for what you want at the above mentioned stores, they're not really in the business of our interest so do yourself a favor if you don't have the "big city" luxuries like a nursery lmao! Go to walmart get a prepaid cc maybe even a gift card and hit up amazon they have everything you need and if you're all paranoid well the prepaids will help you feel more secure since your worried about the government raiding your couple of plant stoner stash bc they dont have anything better to do like find another war to get us in or keeping the poor poor. good luck!:wall:

imo any of the potting soils at said retail locations would be good enough throughout a 4-5 month grow op. most of them have that time release shit in it anyway. thats the stuff i first used, it works, but i did run into problems. find some regular old potting soil, use it with no additives for a month then slowly use some regular ol miracle grow shit. dilution is the solution

1 bag of Miracle grow organic potting soil
1 brick of COCO reptile bedding. ( hydrate via the instructions )

Mix the M.G. ORGANIC POTTING SOIL AND BRICK OF NOW HYDRATED COCO

Now you have your dirt/medium.

Now proceed to buy some M.G. 15-15-15 or 20-20-20 all purpose vegatable fertilizer. ( follow the instructions like 1-2x every 2 weeks water with the M.G. ) in between when water is needed use plain ass regular water.

Once you switch to bloom swap out the M.G. All purpose for the Flower/Bloom Miracle Grow mix which is 15-30-20 or something like that..... idk exactly and 2 lazy to look it up since its not for me........ Water using the Flower/Bloom mix the same as you did the All Purpose

Flush for 5-10 days at the end of the plants life cycle..... in the mean time read a book or 6 and actually read the forums....

If your such a noob the only way you will not be one no matter how many questions you ask, and how much you read is actually grow!!!
 
I understand you said you didnt want to order or go to a hydro shop. But sometimes the local stores just dont carry what you want.

Now that being said, I do have a idea for you but it still might be more than your really looking for. IF I was you I would look up subcools super soil.
There is a lot of grows that have used this and its really good, but you might need to order some of the stuff.

I am not going to go into all the benefits of the super soil but look it up it just might be what your looking for.

good luck

go on fox farm site or advanced nute site! they have a pdf schedule you can litterally print out and keep a copy in your room/rooms. there is a ton of info throughout this site as well in advanced nutrients threads. do alittle snooping on the site bro... believe me im newer to this also and i litterally have a book of info and knowledge from everyone in this community. You are in the right place if you want to learn here man. also i go that Ryan Riley book... good shit dude! check it. best of luck
 
Hey people, I saw the title simple and easy and have a question for the organic growers out there. I want to do an organic Autoflowering grow but want to keep it real simple. I was thinking, put my seedlings into Growth technology's Alpha Mix, then after two weeks add some (P) Guano to the surface and water through it for the flowering stage. What do you all think, any feedback appreciated.

I have searched and read. >.> otherwise i wouldn't of posted. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember posting shit about being "worred about the government raiding my couple of plant stoner stash" all assuming does is make an ass out of u and me.

And everyone else that seems to think I have just sat here posted a thread and rolled up a blunt, shut the hell up. I'm tired of being told that I'm just being lazy. If I was being lazy, why the fuck would I post a thread in the first place? I'd just order some random ass shit and hope it worked. I'm trying to find out what other people have had success with. "Then why don't you search for it?" I HAVE. Now please. If you do not have some kind of help on my situation, and by help I don't mean tell me I'm lazy and I need to go search for blah blah blah. Then stay away from my damn thread.

I realize there are more than just this website. But if everyone has the attitude of "fuck you go somewhere else" then there is no where else. I just want to grow some damn weed, and to be helped out on things I can't find the answers to myself. There are plenty of things I searched and actually found out help on. I'm not as stupid as some of you would like to think I am. Help or don't it's your choice. If you want to actually help, then please by all means post on this thread. If you want to criticize me even more, then GTFO!

What you're looking for is a schedule of sorts then. Something like you put in X product, at X time, and repeat it X many times a week. And looking for the products that anyone can find and use very simply, if I am understanding correctly? Like someone who has never picked up a seed in his life can look at this thread and gather a base knowledge on how this works, right? Am I close?

You are pretty much righ on the dot right there. This thread is not just for me, its for the people who actually search and find this thread like people tell me to do. >.>

I have found a feeding schedule on the fox farms website and it says I should start out right from the git-go. But my soil has a bit of nutes in it. Using light warrior and ocean forest in a 1:2 ratio respectively. What I would like to know is if I should follow the feeding schedule as it says, or wait a few weeks before I start feeding.

1 brick of COCO reptile bedding. ( hydrate via the instructions )
Gotta say bad advice EMO. The cheap bedding coco is not processed as well and could contain gobs of salt. If you do use this bedding coco, leach the hell out of it until the runoff ppm falls below 100ppm. Also , the better coco is aged, so decomp rate is minimized.

Fox Farms soil has enough nutrients in it for the first 3-4 weeks. After that is when I begin feedings. What is printed on their websites may not be for any specific plant and just a generalized schedule. From what I've read and gathered marijuana needs only an NPK ratio of 3-1-2 during the vegging stage, 1-1-2 during flowering, and 0-1-2 during final flowering, then you flush. I read that somewhere, but I don't know how true it is. I am still doing research on it myself. Along with CalMag (lime). I don't go by any set schedule, and I am using the Fox Farm lineup of Grow Big, Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom. I am getting into organics and going to be fazing out the Fox Farms stuff. So there are really many Avenues & Alleyways to cross in the simple and easy nutrients. I will try to find comparable products you can use from Lowe's or Home Depot in the same manner as Fox Farms. So for simple and easy here we go...

Fox Farm's Big Bloom- mix into a gallon following the directions on the bottle. Water your plants as needed. It says it is safe enough to use every watering.
(Watering: when the top layer of soil is dry and you burrow down with your finger a bit and it's still dry and the plants still look good and are not droopy, that's when you water.)
This can be used in veg stage or in flowering stage. It has earthworm castings, bat guano and other high test organic ingredients that offer a full range of nutrients.
Norwegian kelp improves nutrient uptake and increases yields. Rock phosphate helps transfer energy from one part of the plant to another, which means bigger buds and more fragrant flowers.
Or so they say.

I don't really know anything on the market comparable to this, just mix up some kelp, seaweed, earthworm castings, bat guano and
rock phosphate in a gallon jug and you'll get this. I guess. Most of the Espoma line can be used for this.
Most all the ingredients are there, Kelp Meal 1-0-2, Rock Phosphate 0-3-0, Garden Manure 4-2-2.
but I know some stores are seasonal on their fertilizers. It is easier to find them in say, March. Now nobody wants to do any outdoor
gardening, so they have no need to stock any of that stuff, just whatever they have left right now. It sucks.

Fox Farm's Grow Big- mix into a gallon following the directions on the bottle. Water your plants with the mixture every other watering.
If you see brown, crunchy bits on the ends of your leaves you have mixed it too strong. Give the affected plant a heavy flush of pure water to run off.
For use primarily in the vegging stage.

The cheap version of this you can buy in Lowe's or Home Depot or Wal-Mart would be, Espoma Plant-tone 5-3-3 and Bio-tone® Starter Plus 4-3-3.

Fox Farm's Tiger Bloom- mix into a gallon following the directions on the bottle. Water your plants with the mixture every other watering.
If you see brown, crunchy bits on the ends of your leaves you have mixed it too strong. Give the affected plant a heavy flush of pure water to run off.
Use Tiger Bloom at the first sign of flowering and into the last couple weeks of flowering. Last two weeks you should use pure water, no fertilizers at all.

The cheap version of this you can buy in Lowe's or Home Depot or Wal-Mart would be, Espoma Garden Food 5-10-5



Some plants like a stronger batch, others like just a weak batch. The more you grow with the same strain the better you will get. What they need, when
they need it, BEFORE they need it, etc. So that's my simple and easy routine. It's like many out there, everybody gets different results.

Cheers.
