Plant Nutrients...

Does anyone know if store bought regular dirt need added seprate nutrients when growing plants?

Most store bought dirt already has nutrients in the soil, however you can buy some without any.

Some dirt I have bought actually has too many nutes so my seedlings get a bit of a nute burn at the beginning. Plants after growing will end up using all the nutes and will require more after a while.

I told you.
DownOnWax, would you prefer chemical nutrients or organtic?

Depends on what you buy. Everyday seems to produce another bag of dirt.

Really? Does the plant need more than my desk light to produce quality buds? At least read a little bit thats a given,then read and read some more hell if you cant read watch videos. Good luck.

Thanks man,do you know like when im looking on the bag what kind of nutrients do i need to be looking for?

No Doubt!

I was at Lowe's the other day and there was like 30 different types of dirt to choose from!

Organic, time released nutrients, moisture control, good drainage, w/ muchroom compost, w/ extra perlite, w/ vermiculite, etc., etc., etc.

Kind of out of control.

Hydgrow...was that supposed to be to me?

Just get a seed starting potting mix and another bag of cheap dirt. Then maybe pick up some all around nutes like a 20-20-20.

Start seeds in potting mix and when they get past 2 weeks or so, transplant them into the regular dirt and start feeding them. 1/4 strength at first then work your way up to full strength after 3-4 weeks.

yeah there about 20 days old from planting,do yall think i need to add nutes now?and how do yall think they look?????

Potting soil*

You don't need to add nutes yet but you could jump start them with some dilluted solution.

When they get about twice that size I would go ahead and add full strength. I used to feed every other watering but my plants would get the occasional nute burn so now I...

Feed, Water, Water, Feed

And when you water, give it a good watering! Don't flood the container but make sure all the dirt in there get's nice and moist. Holes in the bottom are there to help prevent over watering.

Good Luck

thank you,whats going to happen if i just watter it and give it light,and give no nutrients?
