Is it possible to grow weed with only 1 fertilizer throughout the grow?

I know the reason you use more than one, is that the needs in veg is different from the needs in flower. But is there any way to simplify the fertilization?

Like what harm does it do if you use flower nutes in veg? What harm does it do if you use veg nutes in bloom?

Can't you use some kind of combination that doesn't require you to mix stuff?

Maxibloom is often used start to finish.

Well canna coco is two parts AnB , exactly the same through flower. It's still two bottles but no different in veg or flower.

Pretty sure some just use tomatorite throughout too

Lots of folks here, myself included, use General Hydroponics Maxibloom throughout the grow. Seedlings get fed Maxigrow lightly once or twice then I switch to bloom. So not one, but two nutrients but not used in combination. But depending on what strain you grow and the quality of your water and environment you may need to supplement with things like calmag. It's still pretty simple.

This is what i do because im in coco and run ro water. I add calmag. I have also switched to maxigrow for veg and then maxibloom for flower because my plant wanted a bit more N

I rarely see deficiencies with straight Maxibloom, but I use my 300ppm tap water which has plenty of Ca and Mg already

If you don't mind using big pots (like 15+ gallons), you can use just about any organic potting mix, add some extra compost, and mix in an all-purpose veggie fertilizer like Tomato Tone, Gaia Green, Dr Earth, etc. and just give them plain water the whole grow. No additional fertilization necessary.

If you have a proper soil and the proper water minerals and nutrients you could achieve a non-fertilized grow I suppose. You could also go with the basic Miracle Grow at the very start. Not for the seedlings just germinate those as normal. I've done so had decent yield. I don't recommend, however you can get that at the dollar store

I mainly use MegaCrop. If you're looking for effective simplicity, check it out. I also keep Dyna-Gro stuff around, generally to use as a supplement to the MC, but I don't think it necessarily needs it.

Plus they will send a free sample just for the cost of shipping. Dyna Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 is also fairly good but MegaCrop pretty much covers all the bases.

Did someone mention Tomatorite?

For rooted clones, veg and bloom in soil.

I use Dyna Gro Grow from beginning till the end

Don't think I even had to pay shipping on my last free MegaCrop sample. They also threw in a little bag of their powdered kelp supplement. Pretty sweet. When I'm not using MC, Foliage-Pro is my other go-to. Apparently, it's not a Dyna-Gro product anymore, though. Went on Amazon a few days ago to put another jug in my cart and now they're calling it Superthrive Foliage-Pro.

I would concur, MegaCrop is pretty close to the ideal ratios for a 1-part nute.

I've used Dyna Gro in dwc and it worked fine as well. It did not work well (by itself) in coco.
Dyna Gro has woefully low Ca & Mg (2%, 0.5% respectively) and essentially no Sulfur.

They charged me about $9 shipping for a sample bag and a small bag of their powdered kelp which seems to be excellent. I actually use the kelp powder with fish emulsion which is another pretty good simple mix for soil/s. Only issue with fish emulsion is you want to use it right way and it can drop pH so you have to pay close attention to it.

Way way back in the day I used dynagrow from start to finish...... Maxibloom is the modern equalivent and works fine..... If I was going to do it again It'd be maxibloom

Oh I wish I saw this thread earlier....

Way back in the day (decades) I used the same feed all the way thru. This was back when the Super Soil potting soil was the shit. It was probably Miracle Grow and I could see major growth spurts every time I used it. Not sure if doing this was very detrimental to bud development, because I used top plants a lot so I had tons of smaller buds versus big colas. I do know the quality was very good...maybe not as good as today's weed but in the ballpark
