I plan on putting my beautiful sexy Medicine babys outdoor this year in the straight ground. I was wondering if I could still use my nutrients on them. Or if that would even work can not find a straight awnser.

If you plan to grow in the ground, you should dig your holes as soon as the whether permits and add some amendments that add texture to the "soil".
Check the organic section.

As far as using nutrients - go for stuff like kelp or fish hydrolysate. They'll work well as a quick foliar/drench to get the party started. After that, let nature take its course. Skip the chelated minerals. The native soil probably doesn't need it and will buffer itself nicely.
Theres no way to know without soil testing though. That's the down side to planting in the ground. The up-side is, you'll be able to take the plants further into the season. In ground roots are much more insulated than container and can easily withstand a light frost or two.
And if you really want to be successful, pick up a Farmer Almanac. You'll find tons of accurate info related to your planting zone.

Good luck.

I use a mostly espoma garden tone ...and a bit of fox farms happy frog bulb food. Great mix! I just top feed once a month for two months then let them go.
Only thing I really add is I water with Epsom salts every 2 weeks and some molasses to feed the microbes. Works great for me.

I had decent luck in the past outdoors using the same soil and nutrients as I do indoors. I dig a hole approx 5 gallons and fill with soil I mixed.
