 | Go to the top of the page & right click on "Search". Left click on "Open in new tab." Go to the left side & enter your search word (mixture in the first case) and go to the drop down box and select "Titles Only", drop to the bottom & click "Search Now". Then do some reading. As for nutes, I grow indoors in hydro and use the GH 3 part - which works for soil too. As for nutes you can buy from WallyWorld or HD, I have no idea. Your questions have been asked and answered a thousand times before - do some searches and some reading instead of being spoon fed.

| True, you should read around a bit, as this site contains a real lot of informations, pretty much everything. I will put a link to the Reference Library, which is the collection of all the most useful and informative threads. http://www.gardenscure.com/420/reference-library/ Check out the Indoor/Outdoor growing threads, respectivly. (I'm not sure where you're growing) As you may know, there's 3 main nutrients that Cannabis needs to grow, Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphate. The Nitrogen is most useful for the growth/vegetation cycle, Potassium for flowering. This obviously gets a lot more complicated, especially when you start to consider trace elements that should be in the soil to help the plant. | ||

Def a pretty quick and easy starting point, here is the feed schedule for the Fox Farms nutes: FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company From there you can make your own adjustments, do some experimenting and find out what works for you. That's what growing is all about. Keep reading!

is one that has good drainage. The best nutes are ones that overcome the nute deficiendies of the soil. So get a basic soil mix lildevilpunk, then spend the money you saved on a range of fertilisers to cover contingencies. i use epsom salts, a bit of pottassium, some manure, crushed fish juice and seaweed. How are all those plants you had before going? lol nigel

| I would always recommend organics (AFF-5-3-3) or similar for beginners...that way it is much harder to nute burn your plants. as for the rest of the advice...here is the deal... when you have to seek information rather than have it fed to you, you tend to remember it as you were forced to seek it out! While it is much harder than having the answers handed to you, it does provide you with the opportunity to far surpass other growers who simply cut corners to save effort. Not trying to be a dick...just saying what worked for me.  Either way, I would listen to experienced on this site as there crops speak for themselves! See swordfish's crop from 07...that shit is insane!! Anyway, I think there is no "perfect" mix for anything as every plant reacts differently to the conditions that surround it! My best advice..always pay attention to your girls...love them as if they were dependents, and you will be fine!!! | ||

| Foxfarms rock, but cost your the extra. General hydroponics line of ferts are just as good in my opinion, and lot cheaper (can be used in dirt no prob) As for Soils, Foxfarm ocean forrest is awesome but here its 13bucks for 1.5CuFt, too spendy for me. Gardener and bloome makes a good line of potting soil, 8bucks for 2 CuFt. good thing to know also a cubic foot of soil equals about 7.5 gallons of soil. Look through some grow journals and follow a few of them finish to end, and you will have lots of information. I didn't know a damn thing when i first started, but give it a year to know the concepts and ins and outs, after that its a cake walk.
