Is using a entire product line overkill?

Tell your buddy that the magnesium sulfate in his bottles of advanced nutrients is the same thing as epsom salts. But more than likely he wouldn't believe you.
I have pointed this out already. He is the master of bro science. He uses a flushing agent that as far as I can tell is glucose and water, it is about £50 a time. Apparently I am smoking pure nitrogen and I am going to fuck myself up with all the "dodgy chemicals" I use. He honestly believes I am using soap, because my Epsom Salts come in this bag....



Also, compost from the garden centre at £12 for 120 litres is not right for weed, because it has pictures of garden veg on the bag. It is a mix of composted wood/green waste, peat and calcified seaweed.

If you use it pr plant 20-30g it's better priced than any fertilizer at £3.99
.
Thanks for the tip I will do some research into it. The other day I was saying to the wife there is nothing that could really make me want to change my compost and feeding regime, then the government announced the ban on peat based products.

I used this for years. Local outfit here in Portland. Just repackaged calcium nitrate, monopotassium phosphate, and a micronutrient. Used it in hydro, coco, and soil with nothing else. Excellent results. Inexpensive and the combination contains everything a plant needs.

Poundland and b+m sell that pack.

I don't think that will effect imports for a while though. Never know though.

They sell that cheap hydro stuff to, I used it on my lilly year or 2 ago . It worked but wouldn't try it on bud.
I used Poundland PK 13/14 a few years ago and it was just fine.

I am going to keep using my favourite peat based for a while yet. I tried Westland New Horizon Peat Free a while back with some Autos and had mixed results. I think as the ban on peat gets closer we will begin to see a lot more Peat Free blends. I try will often try different products on the wife's veg garden. We have a small Poly tunnel and I grow Autos in there alongside her tomatoes and I try different stuff on them too. Some of the best compost I ever used was Gro Sure Grow bags, I grew some outdoor Autos in that stuff once because it was on clearance in Tesco.

I found it full of bugs quickly because it's mostly twig's.(new horizon)

I stick with Canna for synthetic, biobizz light for organic. Cheap enough locally £7 a bag. Boost both with frass.
Both peat based at the moment. Imported might not be affected.? Have to read what it's about lol.

I am currently using General Hydro, I do not use every product in their flora line. I do use the trio, floralicious plus, cal mag, and the koolbloom.
If you are new to growing I would stick with the basics usually a 2 part or three part, as you get comfortable with the line you choose you could start trying out some of the more advanced nutes.
This is what worked for me. I have noticed the difference by using additional supplements.
