Hello guys, Im a long time grower. Im finally stepping up to the plate with a 10K grow. I am wondering is there any dry organic nutes that I can add to my soil, that I dont have to bake? I know fox farm has all the bag stuff, but are any good enough to use start to finish? I plan on using sunshine advanced #4 and plant success granular that is 3-1-2. I would prefer to keep my nitrogen low. Ive been using Nectar for the gods, with great results but the shit is expensive and I have to mix 8 bottle at a time. Im trying to get off the bottle. I also live quite a distance from my grow and can not make it everyday to water. So I planning on using drippers with just RO water. And hand feeding with a tea once a week. Anything that helps will be given rep. Thank you

You can buy all materials used in almost any fertilizer you find at the hydro store online for a fraction of the cost. You will need to understand what reacts with other chemicals and why in order to keep your ppm in check. Some chemicals will negate each other or react adversely when paired with certain othera. But if you just go N P K you can buy powder for really cheap online. If you want to save money stop thinking about fox farm or any of the "Big" companies, think nursery, just mix the stuff yourself and save over 80% on the bottles.

build a soil has some premade nute kits but you still have to cook them..you could probably get away with just tomato tone added to ffof and some teas

No... this is an organic grow, not a hydrostore science experiment.

Yes, mix like high quality vermicomst/ewc, kelp meal, neem meal, crab meal, rock dust... you get the point.

I used Dr Earth Flower Girl (4-10-7) as my organic soil amendment for outdoor this year

GuppyGal would be proud!!! However, you really don't need the npk stuff. Again, stick to the basics, or be forever dazzled by fancy labels.

BAS does have premixed soil additives. Keep in mind they really do not need to be cooked, you can probably source this stuff locally, and FFOF is not organic.

Peace!
