I started growing 20 odd years ago. I bought into all sorts of different products. I used Bio-Bizz trio and these booster bars you dissolved in your water, can't remember the name. The about 7 years ago I stopped, life got in the way. Covid hit and I couldn't get any weed. So I cleaned out the loft found my old tents and HPS lights and bought some seeds. My lights were fubared so I got some generic COB leds and got on with it.
I started using Plant Magic Old Timers because it was what a lot of people of the UK grow forums were using, again it was a trio of products just like Bio Bizz. Then I hit some Mg deficiency and spent out on Plant Magic Old Timers Magnesium, a little tub of crystals for £5, it sorted it. I then discovered Plant Magic Old Timers Magnesium was just Epsom Salt and I could get a huge bag of it from the local Home Bargains store for £1. The Plant Magic Old Timers Magnesium was a total rip off, pure marketing.
Being in the UK we have been hit with supply chain issues,Covid and Brexit has left us with a shortage of lorry drivers. So I couldn't get my Old Timers or my regular soil mix. So I had to improvise.
The wife grows a lot of veggies. So I used the same compost and rotted manure she does and added some Perlite. She had a big bottle of Gro-Sure Tomato feed (NPK 6 3 10) going spare so I took that for my attic grow. I put on a run of outdoor Autos at the same time. We discovered that Gro-Sure was unavailable and switched to Levington's Tomorite (NPK 4 3
. Using the tomato feed and a weekly dose of Epsom salt I have completed a full run of Autos, outdoors, and a full run of photos, indoors.
The yield is as good as before, if not a little bit better. I had no deficiencies at all and the flavour of the weed is superb.
The way I see it is that most people that grow weed are just wanting to get stoned. They have little interest in Horticulture. They are led up the garden path by these companies, because they have typed "cannabis nutrients" into a search engine and have found a myriad of marketing hype that tells them what they want to hear. They get duped in to believing that cannabis is special in some way and no other plant food will do. I know that is what happened to me.
Don't believe the hype.
