Do you have to have nutrients

IM just curious if there is anybody out there who has done an indoor grow w/out using any nutrients and had success. Or if you haven't necessarily done it yourself but know it can be done, let me know.

please don't comment if your gonna tell me im stupid or i need to research cause im not stupid and i have done my research im just not sure if this can be done or not.

it's probably possible but yields will be pretty bad. i assume you're talking about a dirt grow. so, the only food you plant will get is whatever is in the dirt at the beginning of the grow. and that won't last very long. on second thought, it probably won't work at all. but i've never tried it.

i've done a grow with cheap nutes, like MG. it was a good grow.

the organic folks have mixes they call super soils, right from sprout to flower
haven't worked my way to those yet, maybe soon

wow I guess I've just been burning money buying these nutrients......wish I had known that when i first started growing...............C'mon people are you guys being serious. Of course you need nutes. You CAN grow with none but your crop is going to be marginal at best. Only way you can grow a good crop with no nutes is if its outdoors. I'd like to hear from one person who has got good yields and quality products with no nutrients whatsoever.

me you fool ive just said that you can get a good yield with no nutes. My last grow NO NUTES!

Dude, your shit is weak, he's no fool. You're the fool wasting countless lumens on those loose, weak buds.

Of course you want to use nutes. You have to in hydro, but as stated earlier, your plants will burn through the natural nutes in any soil. You should also use a flower fortifier from week 4 onwards. Do not use a foliar spray. I also use bat guano. Some people like worm castings in their soil. What most of us do, we do it with pride, and we continually learn how to improve. Think really hard and then ask why science has told us one thing, and people like GrowinThaBudz rewrite the book.

Aside from NPK, your plants also need calcium and magnesium additives. If you dont use nutes, your plants will never finish properly. You may be able to grow small mediocre buds, but you're missing out on so much

no problem glad to help[/QUOTE

I started four plants and gave them no nutes for about 5 wks. I then added more lights under the top foliage and gave them just a bit of jacks vegitative fertalizer and they doubled in bushyness and height in a week. I guess it is all in what you want. I understand both methods. I really can't tell the difference in the smoke, other than the fact that it produces higher quantity faster than going organic. To each there own.
