So much negativity on here. As a resident of the East Coast, where weed and home grown is becoming increasingly more legal but still not talked about, this idea for me a year ago would have been fantastic. And maybe there are 100 fert companies out there, but their marketing for newbs sucks. And the instructions for use suck. If your a newb, and you don't have support from an experienced canna grower, your going to burn the shit out of your plants using cannabis nutes. Its going to happen. So if someone actually honestly marketed a line of beginner fertilizers with a "for idiots" guide that focused on less instead of more... I think a lot of your emerging hobby growers (elderly and medical patients-not fringe members of society like most of the people on this site) would be happy to pay a premium until they understood what was going on. I would have.
Focus on simplicity and simple language. Nobody else is doing that. Hell, on any thread on RIU there will be so much conflicting information that a new grower is bound to make a mistake. So much disinformation in the cannabis community. So yeah, I think there is huge opportunity for this, just do it differently than the big guys instead of trying to compete with them and keep it small and local and I'll bet you can make a modest profit that would help put beans on the table.
