So you never looked into the dry salts like Jacks 321 or Maxibloom or other? 12 x ~5gal = 60gal per each watering / feeding when they get big and depending on your latitude it might take a lot more.

I just looked them up these are for hydro from what I read. I will be growing in soil and would prefer a for soil nutrient. but I could be wrong.

Soil grow, pic from a few minutes ago. All I have ever given these gurls is varying concentrations of Jack's Hydro/Cal Nit/ MgSO4.

Dont be afraid to use hydro nutes in soil, I've heard good things about General Hydroponics Flora Series, a guy on here @Renfro gets up to four lbs a plant and that's indoors and he grows in soil and that's what he uses as his main nutrients. I like to mix about 15% sheep shit into my peat/promix for veg then schultz veg and bloom the green and purple bottles for flower that has always worked well for me growing outdoors. Another series of nutrients I've heard good things about is Nectar for the Gods it's only available in the states so its must be good.

I've been digging the Megacrop. You can even get a 300g bag for free to sample it. I think it cost me around $6 shipping when I got my sample. The sample was enough to convert me. I love the simplicity of a one part nute that works. https://greenleafnutrients.com/product/mega-crop/?v=7516fd43adaa

I checked it out and seems to be pretty good stuff from all the reviews I read actually, I don't think I read one bad thing about them. so, I took your advice and ordered the free sample only cost $4.50 for shipping.
do you grow in soil?
what's your feeding schedule: feed water water or feed water feed?
how much do you mix into a gallon?

What's so simple about mixing different amounts of eight different bottles at different weeks? And I just looked at the price! It's ridiculous. A liter of the fire bloom costs more than I spend for at least two years worth of the nutrients I use and I can guarantee they grow just as good of weed as heavy 16. I can't believe the price people are paying for these cannabis specific nutrients.
I just crunched some numbers and I can go three years maybe more for the price of one liter of that fire bloom. And that's continually having plants in flower.

What kind of light? Is that a quantum?

It’s actually really simple you use veg a,veg b Only thru veg. Then you use bud a, bud b thru flower adding fire and prime once a week. I was using on every feeding but was getting nute burn. I don’t mess with the roots, my root systems always do well, and finish I don’t use. If I flush it’s with water you get what you pay for. You can find it on eBay reasonable and if you can buy two years worth of nutes for $40 that’s worth a damn. Please enlighten me, I’ll place an order today.

what do you mean by soil? because its used a lot of different ways on here
is there a specific product or combination of products you plan on using?
because not all dirt in a pot is actually soil. in inert potting mixes (usually peat or coco with perlite, sometimes called "soilless") you would most often feed-water-feed. in true soil (potting mix with fertilizers mixed in) you would only add nutrients if your plants needed it and would just use water.
either way, if i were you i'd get jacks or megacrop. for that size garden you'll be spending a fortune on nutes if you don't go with something affordable for scale.

I was going by the price of the fire bloom which is over $100 a liter. But here you go. Nothing fancy just everything the plant needs. I've been using it for years. It's all I use other than maybe a dose of potassium sulphate which I buy for dirt cheap as well. Same stuff all the fancy nutrients are made of just in powder form for pennies on the dollar. I grow nice healthy plants with it. I also use it on house plants, in the garden, container plants, etc... That's because cannabis uses the same nutrients other plants use. Cannabis specific nutrients are a money grab.

I was planning on using dairy doo premium flower 201 it has manure, worm castings, bat guano, pearlite, bloodworm meal and a bunch of other stuff in it. i can get it for $150 a yard. I think I only need a yard for 12 20 gallon pots.
