It should be OK,I use speedi grow which is 30%cal 3% mag.Just use it sparingly and mix it well,I've settled in on 1 tbls per gallon soil.Remember a 1 gal nusery pot only holds .6 gal of soil normally,I learned that the hard way.You can overlime I've heard people say no but don't believe it!

I love the hydro store. You can buy whatever you need and not worry that some employee is giving you the hairy eyeball because of what you are buying....

Hard to walk out of home depot with 8 small bags of perlite.....

Plus, you come in, pay cash, leave and that's it. Anonymous.

For those wary of hydro stores,be there at opening time,if it's being watched the chances are good LEO is still at Duncan Doughnuts.I've been going to different stores for years and think its a lot of paranoid wasted energy myself.Be aware of your surroundings and be aware of what comes out of your mouth in the store,most owners don't appreciate you "letting them in" on your felonius activities.As for driving around aimlessly for awhile peeking in your rearview like a crackhead before returning to your grow location,only on my bike and without the silly paranoia lol
