Try a splash of some liquid sea kelp...

Try a splash of some liquid sea kelp...

in your dilute seedling nutrient solution.
I really like the cold processed stuff.
(see link below)
Locally try a Plant/tree nursery for kelp.
Dry sea kelp, if liquid is not available, can be made into a tea if need be.

Peaceful Valley Organic Farm Supply is an excellent, reliable "legitimate" "above-ground" company to deal with.
They handle the well thought of "Earth Juice" line of Nutrient products which would be a good mail order "Fertilizer" choice.

Even in towns with no nutes, "liquid fish emulsion" is generally available. K-marts stock it. It stinks a bit (alot) but (vegetative stage) plants sure love it. When dealing with seedlings a little fish juice (nutrient) goes a long way.
I have a buddy who decided that his week old bogbubble babies sure could use a good feeding and gave 'em a cup of fish emulsion to a gallon of water...After they all died he concluded a teaspoon per gallon would have been a much better choice. ;)

Happy Growin' :D

Many online companies...

Many online companies...

will accept Cash, Money Orders, Credit Cards. Paypal, and Western Union Quick Collect and Personal Checks.

Traceable payment methods are a big no no.

One should assume that "Big brother" is watching and tracking customer delivery locations...

Rumors of the feds collecting intelligence such as this to use against perceived law breakers makes perfect sense from their perspective and one should probably assume that U.P.S./Fedex/U.S.P.S. records are readily available to "them".
A little caution is a good thing, wild eyed paranoia is not. :)

Some "hydroponic" garden supply houses have a delivery program with U.P.S. stores where they deliver to the store and they call the (throw away) phone number that the customer provides (or the customer just checks in if they have no number ;)

If I were limited by financial constraints, and could order just one or two products, I would order a quart bottle of a one part nutrient called "Floranova" nutrient manufactured by General Hydroponics.
A bottle of grow and a bottle of bloom will get you through your first grow most likely.
This product is pretty much a 'Green Thumb in a bottle".
A very high likelyhood of success with floranova.
Nutrient deficiencies are a thing of the past with this stuff. I absolutely love it, kinda pricey stuff, but I dare say worth it. A real no brainer kind of product, it's a beautiful thing.
We foliar and later root fed a friends fruit trees with a combination of bloom and grow Floranova last spring when they were getting ready to bloom and man o man are those trees producing big time this year.

What kind of tomato food do you have available?
Brands and npk numbers if possible?
peters and schultz are quality commonly available products.
Much cannabis has been grown over the years using only tomato food by various people, perhaps thats your best option presently.
Remember, a little goes a long way, to much nutrient during the first month or so will cause death to the seedling.
1/4 strength can still be to strong to seedlings with some fertilizer products.

Be sure to search the forums and read, read, read, there is a big learning curve when one first start growing.
Heck while your at the store get some tomato plants and slap 'em in the ground and grow them out. If one can grow tomato and bell peppers succesfully, growing a weed like cannabis becomes a much easier affair.

Have a good day and I wish you success with your new hobby.

:)

You might also want to look into prepaid credit/giftcards. Visa and Mastercard both have them I believe.

you mean you live in the last town on Earth with no: Home Depot; Lowe's; K-Mart; Frank's; Wal-Mart (ugh)...etc, etc...

come now, you must get a BIT more creative...even if you don't have a credit card (GOOD FOR YOU, btw!!)
