Fertilizer manufacturers assume that the plants are getting trace minerals / elements from the soil.I have a question. I've been looking around, reading post, and threads and still no luck. I have a growing bible.. It doesn't specify.. I almost feel like a noob for asking.. Hell, I wasn't about to post a thread with this question.. But.. Can you use the same nutrients for hydroponics that you can with growing with dirt? Or would I have to go and get some different nutes? I wasn't quite sure on this.. so if anyone could help me with this that would be awesome! Thanks!
Okay I see what you're saying. So If I go to home depot, could I find what I'm looking for?Fertilizer manufacturers assume that the plants are getting trace minerals / elements from the soil.
Nutrients have the big 3, N P K, but also have the trace minerals that the plant needs for healthy growth.
You can use a fertilizer with lots of supplements and guess work, or use a complete nutrient and save yourself time and heartache.

I have Miracle-Gro Tomato Plant food for my house plants (some hydroponic).Okay I see what you're saying. So If I go to home depot, could I find what I'm looking for?
Well my question was.. can I use it hydroponically? I know it's designed for soil.. but I need some nutes for my hydro set up.I have Miracle-Gro Tomato Plant food for my house plants (some hydroponic).
It is NPK 18-18-21. It is designed for soil.
But reading the Guaranteed Analysis, it also has Magnesium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, and Zinc. These are very important trace minerals. So it's good.
But Cannabis seems to need these traces and more and in certain strengths. You can get by with something from HD, but it won't be your best grow.
I am going to investigate Jack's Classic Plant Food by J.R. Peters. I've heard some good things about it. And HD doesn't carry it...
