Please recommend me a good fertilizer combo

For my next grow I want to ditch organic soil and use ferts.
I've heard good things about liquid karma.

Will be using potting soil from the supermarket.
Cheers dudes :tiphat:

I use miracle grow and a hose sprayer :D

LK is an additive not meant to be used as a stand alone.

If you mean Hydroponic ferts then read the KISS thread Maxi Bloom or Flora Nova both have all cannabis needs simple and it works remember less is more...
 
I heard miracle grow was no good for cannabis?
If it is then damn I already have some. I didn't use it because
people said it was crap.

This isn't for hydro. I have the equipment for it but I want another soil grow under my belt before I venture into the darklands haha. I'm on my second one right now almost finished.

I'm learning as I go. No where near ready for hydro yet IMO.

Cheers dudes.:gday:
 
just poop on it.

Go away troll

Don't believe that saddles guy.
I'm just a noob who wants advice. Have a look at my previous threads if you don't believe me.

This saddles guy is trolling all my threads I am sick of it and have contacted the mods.

All I wanted was a good fertilizer combo, what's so wrong about that?

Organic soil is basically the same just different product lines.

Supermarket soil..........might give you some problems since you are a newb. Read the label. You could do better at Home Depot for a complete soil to start.

Bottled nutrients.......

The Pure Blend series is a good one to use. Pureblend grow, Pureblend blume and LK is a good combo to use.

Earth juice is another.

Neptunes is another good company to use.

Pro-mix, extra perlite, and GH Flora=success!
Don't forget to keep your ph in check.
Cal/Mag if needed.

Hey thanks for the reply.
I looked at all the online hydro stores in my country (australia) and couldn't find any of them :(:(:(:(

Is there anything else? On my current grow today which is in the 7th week of flower I added half the dose of miracle grow and some ozi tonic monsta bud which is organic.

Check with Silversurfers thread in the Aussie section. He is discussing the different products in Australia now.

He is a great member and would be a big help.

Well, after a lot of reading on the organic soil forum I found this nute tea recipe .

4TBS of worm castings
4TBS of molasses
1-2TBS lquid seaweed
2TBS of liquid karma (optional, substitute for humic or fulvic acids)
2-3TBS of either high N or P guano

If I can't get the guano is there anything else I can use?

Now I have to figure out what to make my medium.

I was thinking:
60% potting soil
20% coco coir
20% mushroom compost
Dolomite lime.

Is this any decent?

Cheers dudes,

Bio bizz soil, algamic, fish mix, canna or vitalink main nutes , pk13/14 or buddy. mollasses,shooting power... sorted!
 
That looks nice. It looks a bit like my soil mix.

More coco would be good. B/c roots need air :) Perhaps you can get some airpots like material to put the soil in.

How much soil per plant?
 
Cheers dudes for the replies.

I will go with the soil mix I posted earlier. Exept with 10% more coco.
I reckon I'll use canna coco at half strength, and maybe some H&G roots excelurator. I'll also use shooting powder. Also fish emulsion and molasses. They will be in 10 gallon pots.

I fisnished my second grow about 3 weeks ago. I got half a pound. Buds are skinny as hell. Hardly surprising considering I only used seaweed and sulphate of potash. Also I had to harvest them at week seven because of pests.

Now I know that I have to prevent pests right from the start. Also I have a better idea of what to feed them.

Reckon I'll do 4 plants under a 1000W again.

First thing I'll do though is get a new damn bulb. I can tell this one has brightness problems and may explain some of my low yield.
