I need to buy some fertilizers online right now. Any suggestions? Im not going to be able to see my plant very much so any techniques would be much appreciated.
 
If you go organic , youl rarely need to visit them unless it's to water , manures , blood meal bone meal,guano, worm castings these sort of things can make a soil mix that won't need to be fertilized all season, consult google for a specific soil mix with ratios
 
ive been using "seag grow 16-16-16 all purpose" fertlizer and my plants been doing fine from it ever since

Good luck

Its a bit late to prep any mix now
 
using time release nutes, thinking osmocote, brands arent really important to me, If the npk isnt too crazy, and Its time release Im good. Non time release, or more cannabis specific nutes, do work, but you have to be there enough to keep up feedings and it can be a bit of a pain,
 
I will be using super bloom again this year...

here is why..

(oh yeah the price is great too.. less then 15$ still have half the bottle from last year.. )

Be careful using blood meal, bone meal, fish emulsion. All can attract critters like coons, skunks, dogs etc and entice them to dig in the soil around your plant.
 
I'm using maxsea again...i have some leftover jack's classic bloom i might use later...but im not sure yet...
i kinda want to try that sea grow....it costs around half as much as the maxsea...
 
For an outdoor grow or guerilla grow I would use synthetic time released frets. To me the only place for organic notes is in your backyard, they are definatly not for indoor use on a plant that will flower for 70 days or less,I've grown organic and synthetic outdoors and the synthetic beats it every time,defiantly in the yield department,and no I do not think that u can taste the fertizer in the plants because I never noticed it,so for me it's the same quality with better yields. It takes time for the soil life to break down the organic nutes to where the plant can uptake the NPk,where as with synthetics the food is immediately available to the plants. Another big reason to stay away from the organics are that the animals will certainly try to dig up your plants looking for food and carrying in all of those heavy bags of organic nutrients will also leave a trail to your plots,but that's just me. I know I'm going to get slammed for this statement but it is what works for mean and friends of mine, by the way,plants only take up the NPk and trace elements that the fertilizer provides,they have no idea wether it is organic or inorganic,don't get caught up on organic growing those are just old hippie wise tales,,and are people in legal med states where they can tend they're plants daily

"To me the only place for organic notes is in your backyard, they are definatly not for indoor use on a plant that will flower for 70 days or less">>>

>>>I could swear I posted this once already today, but I have over 100 pics here that say differently...that's why I switched from Scott's to Epsoma nutes.
 
Well u may have posted this today,but this is just my opinion from past experiences,also what it is doing to the environment is no different than what any vegetable farmer does,because we are not getting organic vegetables or fruits from them unless u pay three times the price for something that has no benefit to us,a few months ago on the news,wish I remember what station it was,but the just basically said organic foods are no better or worse for u than non organic foods,so my opinion is it is a waste
 
I'm using 20/20/20 All purpose for veg and 10/30/20 Blossom booster for flowering. They're loving it.
 
So, Bxgrower81, im totally feeling you as far as critters and vermin. I have a lot of that around here so im on board...... what are some good synthetics?
 
i had all the stinky shit last year including fish emulsion and meals. mix your soil good enough and put a good few inches about with regular soil and you wont have a problem. didnt have any last year.

Sorry for the off topic, but from what i had read, there 're cons & concerns about GM foods. And they are not only "hippies" that tell that but "neutral" sources too. I've only had read about that in sources in my language, but i'm sure it'll not be hard to find in any language. There're advantages like better/stronger varietes & biggers quantities in crops which it may be a "must" in ourdays (by the time we don't live in a perfect world & we don't want to try producing more essential products & a better use of the lands in general) cuz the world population continiously increasing, so its needs. But that has nothing to do with growing some weed or anything else for personal use. That said, from what i had read in general, chemical ferts can't pose much of a threat in the enviroment with wise & correct use but that requires education & knowledge about chem ferts from the cultivators. I even must confess i'll use some non organic fert in my current grow:oops: (cuz i had allready bought it:mrgreen: ) but after all the read about the matter, i choose the organic way (at least for now:bigjoint: ). I like my soil alive. I guess i am a little hippie:bigjoint:.
 
@po boy nothing was meant bad as far as "old hippie crap" just meaning sometimes some people are stuck in their ways and they're way can be the only right way.
@chickenwing-for outdoor guerilla I use the time ferts,to me the most important part is not the brand it's how long those fertilizers last in the soil, some time release ferts can last too long like 8-9 months,I try to get something that lasts 2-3 months the most for veg stage and flower stage as well, some times 28 day nutes that I can just toss on the soil around the plants and get out of the area, I'll use water solubles occasionally as a booster around 3-4 weeks flowering and that's the only time they get water or hand fed nutes
 
@tpt Nothing wrong with organics just hard to pull off in a non med state for a guerilla grow is all, guerillas are supposed to just get in and out to plant and harvest, I just plant way more than I need,and it pretty much will work out,I mean it is just a weed
