So I'm wondering what nutes I need to get for my babies. I want to be able to get them at Home Depot. I also had a couple questions for what nutes I need if I'm using FFOF? I am only doing 3, 5 gallon buckets. I plant on mixing 1.5 cubic feet of normal potting soil soil with 1.5 cubic feet of FFOF because I have heard that on its own it burns. And one more question, should I put mulch on top of the soil (I am growing from buckets) That's it! I am hoping to get a grow log up, my 3 plants are already 2 weeks old and I wasn't getting much help on another website:bigjoint:
 
I have used this start to finish with decent results. Start off at 1/4 strength and work your way up. In soil you don't have to feed for a month or so. Watch your plants, they will tell ya when it's time to eat. image.jpg
 
That's the only thing you used from start to finish? Did you have any trouble with ph balance? I wanted to use promix (5cups lime, 20% perlite) and then get through veg and flower with nutes. Could this do the job for me?

I used it with pro mix perlite and lime. That is not my usual nutes. I do a lot of experiments and that's why I used that on one plant. Just to see what happened and or was ok. I pH'ed it to 6 and had no problems. Even in bloom. Our plants still need nitrogen in flower. Don't be fooled by the cannabis specific nute companys. If it will grow a tomatoe it will grow weed.
 
I'm happy to hear that you used promix! Have you had any experience using Dyna-Gro grow and bloom nutes? I am just trying to find something I can buy that will get me all the way through to harvest but that is simple and cost efficient. What is your favorite brand of nutes?

Dyna Gro foliage pro and dyna bloom are all I use.

In some plants I only use the foliage pro all the way, some I use half and half, FP and bloom.
Dyna grow is a complete fertilizer. No need for boosters, additives or any of that other expensive bullshit.

I grow for a living and these products are all I need.
 
That is a good read! Learned a couple of things on that thread.. That makes my decision much easier knowing I can just use two different nutes all the way through.. I don't have a way to text ph though, am I going to have trouble with burn with these nutes? Or will the dolomite lime keep it in check?

Any nutes will burn if you use too much.
I always ph so I can't say what happens if you rely on the dolomite alone
