Ideas for nutrients!?

I'm growing indoor using fox farm soil and fox farm nutrients, I am about 25-30 days into flower. I'm pretty sure the strains I have are gonna be 11-13 week strains. Let me know what you guys think about starting to use Blue Planet Nutrients (liquid seaweed). Should I start using it? Can I mix it with the nutrients I'm already using? I've heard this stuff is a game changer from growers that use it

Never heard of them but I see no reason why you can't. I prefer dry nutes when growing in dirt.

Any reason why you like dry Nutrients better?
Anything that can be found as a dry amendment is going to be easier to use as a soil additive. There are some things that just aren't available in a dry form or just really aren't practical indoors. One of the big things is that some dry amendments are long term soil amendments that last years and aren't especially available right away so they aren't the best choice for short term crops indoors.

They aren't available like that day but the plant has access to them to break down and feed as needed. I generally use them to make super soil and top dress as needed. I'm not sure what nutrient that wouldn't be practical indoors other than straight cow shit but that's nothing you want unless your adding to a composter or something imo.

The nutrients that are meant to last years in planting beds aren't at all practical in a scenario where you're going to have a plant in the soil for just a few months.

Unless you're recycling your soil there are better options. Not necessarily liquids over dry either. You can use kelp meal for your micros instead of rock dust, for example.

Each of you guys are right, in a way..... Your micro's from things like Rock dusts and Greensand are very slow release. These last around a year and a half or so, and start slowly.

Thing is there are trace mineral amounts in the other things you build your soil with. These cover your first runs needs and the long term amendments come in during that too...
