Now now gentlemen, there's plenty of room for all. Some of you prefer going full on organic and using the best possible of nutrients and that's great while others go another route. I have seen ( and tasted some super dank weed that was grown with what was at hand and it was killer yummy, I've also enjoyed super great organically grown weed from dispensaries. I suggest that we all make use of what suits us best at a given time, no need to hate or be trying to top anyone else here, specially not on my thread please.
As for myself, right now, I've spent quite a bit of $$$ in equipment and quality soil while being green in the construction of my grow space but I will tell you all this very clearly; I will be using the nutrients I have at present because I happen to have them, they are not horrible though certainly not the best in the world. I grew two extraordinary plants outdoors this past summer that can knock the socks off anyone. I'm using a plant food that is from a local plant nursery and made right here in Canada. I will go out and look for some other nutrient for the flowering phase and I'm thinking about using molasses and B1.
So please, lets play nice, I'm just learning and welcome all of your wonderful ideas and suggestions, I will use many of them and abstain from using others simply because my job is being an artist, it's not 9 to 5, never has been and so revenue isn't always regular. Being a woman home owner in her fifties, I do fairly well selling my art and taking care of things, no debts, and no huge wants but even a few hundred dollars is a consideration I have to save up for.
