I'm just getting into the nutrient world. I have no clue where to start, are there different nutrients for each stage? how much do i give it?

alot of people use fertilze to much or they mix it to strong ....they get a salt build up in their soil and the results.... burning on the outside of the leaves or the plants leaves starting to die....they end up flushing the rootball out with water

I have found as a general rule for growing in dirt....you can use any fertilzer everytime you water but only use 1/2 the amount of what the directions call for.

Example.... I use greenleaves grow juice...directions call for 1 oz fertilizer per gallon of water...... I use 1/3-1/2 oz per gallon everytime I water...I never have a problem with nute lock

The reason I use Greenleaves fertilizer.. added to your tap water it will turn the water different colors to show PH levels of the water

The ESU Greenleaves Grow Juice formulation is completely soluble and contains the major and secondary nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium and magnesium that are essential for plant growth. Greenleaves Grow Juice contains a color coded pH monitor which yields acidic pH (6.0-6.5) when mixed with distilled or tap water. The applicable color scale and corresponding pH are as follows: yellow ph 6.0-6.7; orange ph 6.8-7.8; purple: greater than 7.8.

I also use their Bloom Jucie everytime I water while I'm in the flower cycle and Boost juice 1 time a week in flower...........shit does a plant justice:weed:

wow man that's beautiful! I'm no pro but I'm assuming there's more than one plant in that pot? Also, what would the recommended ph level be? Are there different levels needed for each stage?

thanks in advance

6.0 - 6.5 ph is good all phases of growth.

that is only 1 plant bro:weed: I normally get 6-8 ozs a plant... been doing this along time...I havent had to buy any weed for years.

when I started out someone recommended Technaflora Recipe for success kit. It worked really well for me because it came with everything i needed from seed-flowering. after using it for a while (until i ran out) then i was able to go out knowing what types of nutes i needed. but the price is right for the kit and I would buy it again even now.

I checked this out online, it says for hydroponic use. Can I just use it for a soil grow? would i have to lower the mix?

thanks in advance

Greenleaves is for use in Soil and Hydro..... Directions call for 1 oz of fertilizer per gallon of water....I have used it for years in dirt

In hydro mix it as the direction state...its only the soil that gets the salt build up...and its only with soil that I suggest that you use 1/2 oz of fertlizer per
gallon

Grow Juice, Bloom Juice and Boost Juice are completely soluble for hydroponic systems, but work equally well in soil growing conditions.

I want it strictly because it's really affordable and has just about everything you need from start to finish. I just need to know that it's not only for hydroponics. Perhaps i'll ask the user that suggested it. thanks for the help.
