I am still in the process of figuring out the best fertilizer regime to use for my indoor grow. Plants are in Pro-Mix under 600watt MH/HPS in 5 gal containers.
I have tried Foxfarm with mixed results ( too often burning the plants) I have tried Blue Mountain Organics (but they seem to lack some needed micro-nutrients) so I'm stuck :(
What to try??
I would like to stay with organics for they tend to burn much less, if at all! But if someone can recommend (from their experiences) a good non-organic...I'll give it a try!! Either.......
Thank for any help!

Mix whatever you buy no more than 1/2 strength initially. Suggest Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow A&B. Then feed, water, water. Feed, water, water. Good grows and less chance of nutrient problems during your grow. Then switch to their Sensi Bloom A&B and add their Bud Candy for flowering. I also add FF Beastie Bloomz, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of feeding during the first 4 weeks of flowering. Semper Fi and good luck.

First, Thank you for serving!

Have you tried Roots Organics? There's a regular version and a "707" version. I'm not sure the difference but I use the plain version because Subcool had recommended it for use in his Super Soil mix. (which is something else you may want to look into if you're not familiar, all organic!)

edit: just realized you were talking about ferts here not just soil

Sounds like you may be over thinking on this one and making it more difficult than it really is.Just about any balanced type fertilizer on the market will do the trick for you if used correctly and used only when your plants need it.You don't need any of the cannabis specific foods or additives,although the companies that make them want you to think that you do and not just 1 or 2 products,but 4 or 5 products.Don't Fall For It !! You can go over to Walmart and get a box of 24-8-16 All Purpose Plant Food,with some micros, very cheap.If you want to step it up a notch I would try "Dyna-Gro" Foliage,Grow or Bloom and they have all the micros, period.Best of luck to ya and remember.It's not so much the fertilizer,It's how and when you use it and if you are able to read your plants or not.

if you want simplicity and really good results, use maxibloom. add a teaspoon and your ph and nutes are perfect! also 15$ for 2.2lbs makes it a hell of a lot cheaper than other nutrients.

is that a teaspoon per gallon? What's the frequency? every other watering?? Also is that for flowering or veg. too?

I'll second the Maxi Bloom. It is all I use. I do use an organic soil though so I don't feed anything during veg. If you're using promix you might want to go maxi-grow in veg then switch to maxi bloom in flower.

Here is a maxi-bloom only garden.. K.I.S.S. 1 tsp per gallon every 3rd watering.
