The only nutes I have available to me with the info on it that I need are a slow release nute. Getting other nutes is out of the question right now and aren't available around here anyway, at least any that tells you what's in it.

What do guys think of this for both veg and flowering?

How do you think it will effect, either good or bad, both the vege cycle and flowering cycle?

You should be all right. Just watch closely, and start slow. Also get best nutes possible ASAP! Theres no reason not to, it will greatly increase your yeild. Good luck.

They're in peat moss which, unfortunately, was the only medium I could get and know what it is.

Very few people here speak English and the few that do have limited English. This is beyond them so it's diffiucult to get anything I need. Getting stuff off the internet is not an option as it would be too much of a give away here.

peat moss is bad. it buffers to 5-5.5 ph, which isn't exactly suitable for growing cannabis.

get some starter soil, or sta green flower and vegetable soil. add some perlite. good soil will buffer to 7.0 ph, allowing for much better uptake of nutrients.

peat will cause ph probs, if not now than later for sure.

I know and have been keeping a close eye on my Ph levels. They are around 6.5 to 7.0 and have been the whole time.

Unfortunately, I don't have another growing medium available to me right now.

any garden center, lowes, walmart, home depot, and most dollar stores carry potting soil....

are you testing runoff, or are you testing water before you water the peat?

There are no garden centers, lowes, walmarts, home depots or dollar store in this country. Think of everything that is opposite to the western world and you get a better idea of what I have to deal with.

I test both, the water before hand and the run off and have kept my Ph levels pretty constant.

you may do all right then.

that all purpose fertilizer will be ok for veg, but isn't going to do so great for flower. it WILL work, but not in any kind of ideal....

if you can find a 123 range fert (ie, 2-4-6, 5-10-15, 6-12-18) you're spot on for flower nutes ;)

Well, it's not exactly a third world country. First world economically but third world mentally.

Do it yourself stuff and gardening (for fun and pleasure :joint:) are just not things that interest these people. Therefore, it's really hard to find things to use for this sort of project but I'm managing with what I've got.

If anyone had any ideas of household things I could use to help me, they would be greatly appreciated.
