I hear ya buddy, there's a couple on here that "make" their own outa stuff you would throw away...lol..banana peels, old coffee grinds, egg shells, fish, worm castings....and they swear by it...I just got some MG house plant food 8-7-6 NPK (3-4 buck @ WallyWorld) and my soil (MG Garden soil) already has 15-10-5 in it so I haven't started nutes yet, waiting till they are well into a couple months of veg...and it's only been 32 days from sprout so far, so a ways to go yet...I'm a n00b and this is my first grow also...and the harsh reality and the consensus on here is, "if you're gona do it half assed, you're gona get half assed".......So ur best bet is to not buy that schwag you been smokin..lol..and get some stuff so you can grow ur own for free, it's an investment with a bigger payout than just smoke!!!
