General Question / Help on Nutrients

Hello Everyone

We are living in South America and therefore only really have access to the standard kind of Nutrients available from Garden Centres.

These are:

NPK (the standard fertilizer with Nitrogen / phosphate /potassium)
A Bloom Fertilizer for Flowering which is 8% nitrogen, 14% Phosphate and 9% Potash.

We did one outdoor grow without any nutrients that worked perfectly although the yields per plant were a joke and now have bought a grow box for indoors and had unfortunately a string of disasters all of which seem to revolve around our use of the above two fertilizers / nutrients.

We did two Blue Mystics and made a classic mistake of massively over feeding them and they died of Nute Burn and now we have two plants into flower (for one week) and it looks like they have a Nitrogen deficiency but with what's gone on in the past, we're a little scared about what to give them and how much etc.

Bearing in mind that all grows / plants are different etc etc is there a general idiot proof guide to what Nute's to give them and when that we can follow - anything along those lines would be very helpful for both the Veg and Flowering stages. FYI we are using a peat based organic soil to grow in.

Do we even need to add ANY nutrients during a grow using soil ??

Thanks for taking the time !

Fresh soil has a lot of nutes in it. The more soil the more nutes. Fertilizers all work good. Ya just cant give them too much. In good soil ya may have to only fertilize 1 time before flowering.
