well i haven't added any ferts yet... its been like a month or so, i was told to wait till the leaves show a paleness coming on to add fert. and then i was going to test out the hydroponic nutes at maybe a weaker strength.... if you check out my journal, i have just updated it now with some current pics. taken today err yesterday i think.... so unless some one can say NO don't do that! I guess I will try it out and keep my journal up to date with some fresh progress pictures along the way.

Also will be growing this first grow with hydro nutes in soil and using only floros due to money restraints. hopefully after the frist grow goes... if all goes well, I can reinvest into my grow room with hopefully better lights and venting system:roll:

today someone here said you can use hydro nutes in soil but you can't use soil nutes in hydro. I started using my hydro nutes on my outdoor tomatoes

how did that turn out for you... I figured with soil you already have things in there so should prolly use the nutes at a weaker strength.... I also was thinking about using some nutes on my maters outside... just cuz i got a late start on em and my soil around my house is really shitty... basically all clay but somehow they have been growing alright... we'll see how (if at all) much better they do with some liquid fert.

Well, here's a link you might be interested in... http://www.mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Fertilizing-Smart-Guide

They tested 5 popular fertilizers, GH flora series was one of them. I've used it in soil and I can't argue with their results. Best advice I can give is LIME YOUR SOIL... lol, best of luck man :)

ive seen some good ideas in this thread but some to stay away from only because of price and the amount of product you will have to buy to use the whole line up ( fox farm)

if you want a good cheap 2 part liquid fert i would go with floranova grow and bloom, its cheap, lasts long and its all you need in 2 bottles, also it is ph stable

yeah floranova is my recommendation also it has all your essential micro nutrients all in 1 bottle no 3 part system is super easy for any first time grower. but you will definitely need to get all your ph stuff because this shit drops my ph a shit load

I use the Botanicare Pure Blend Pro line and I use it on my tomatoes too. It works great. Pretty much use the same principle too. Veg nutes for when they are growing and the flowering nutes when the flower start forming little tomatoes. First time I did it I swear the plants almost doubled in size in a day. The soil in my yard is pretty lousy too so I think it really helped.

Well I haven't gotten around to adding the nutes to the tomatoes outside, but I have begun adding them to my indoor plants; and they have gone through a growth spurt since I gave them the liquid feed. I must say they are looking very nice to me, considering this is my first grow it might not be all that great but they don't look sick at all so I feel I must be doing things allright.

I am a new grower, so maybe I am nuking this...(over thinking, making it more complicated then what it is) but how exactly do I do this? Do I just get a lime from the grocery cut it up and put it under the plant on or in the soil?

They sell pulverized dolomite lime at home depot and lowes for $3+. It's a 40lb bag lol, so it will last a while. Add 1 cup per cubic ft of soil, or 2 tablespoons per gallon of soil.

Would Dyna-Gro's Grow, or Foliage Pro be better to use? My plant is 31 days old and a little under size. I don't really quite know exactly when to start, but I imagine it is soon.

Are you serious man? Lime the mineral, not the fruit!

Is this some kind of joke? You're the 2nd person I heard say this in the past 2 days.

Are you suggesting that limes don't have lime in them? I suppose oranges don't have orange either, huh?

I prefer and recommend Advanced Nutrients.... Watch the video on youtube called "advanced nutrients challenge" and you'll see why i like them! If you wanna grow organic... General hydroponics makes a good organic line. You can buy starter box for like 30 bucks which has EVERYTHING you would need! I think its called the GO BOX. Hope this helps
