GG#4 or Black Sugar grow diary by FoxyLoxy

@FoxyLoxy, You shouldn't need any nutrients added to a potting soil although some growers amend the soil with compost teas later in growth and flower. It is more of an Organic way to grow and there is plenty of reading on those subjects available. Also, your claims to "deficiency ridden problems" could easily be attributed to environment and not lack of nutrients in the soil/medium. Cannabis is hardy and will normally survive but the end results suffer greatly...... Until you are fixed on a medium, nutrient line and ability to properly control your climate (air movement/temp/RHumidity) you will always notice issues and people will comment their idea of what your issues are sending you in all directions.....mostly as a nutrient deficiency (when usually its a PH issue causing the plant to lock out nutrient uptakes). Unfortunately there is no way for anyone to read a diary and tell you exactly what your issues are 100%...but you will learn over the next year what they are and exactly how to fix them through trial and error and help from other growers....Just dont kill stuff :D:D:D

Advanced Nutrients is a great lineup. I use their Sensi Grow..... The soil you are using already has nutrients in it.. Most growers will not use both because there is no way to control or know what the plant needs in different stages. If you plan to use the ADV Nutes you should use a medium such as Pro-Mix HP which is inert. Good luck :)

@Hellhazard, so does that mean I need no nutrients at all, maybe should just use minimal doses of it? I mean I have some super silver haze clones in the same soil and they were deficiency ridden. Or is there certain ones I should be using and staying away from others? The problem with this for beginners is its literally a guessing game. I want to use good product for the best outcome but it's difficult when you want to use multiple brands and not be able to know what you need more or less of. Thank you for the tip!!

@Hellhazard, Thank you for your comment. I find it so weird, marijuana is definitely a resistant plant for sure, people have all sorts of different opinions of how the plant can or can't survive. I've read about the organic approach and I've read about nutrients. It's weird though about what you said about using advanced nutrients with an inert soil. The sample pack of nutrients they sent came with directions and it specifies to use advanced nutrients with fox farm soil. Just got a laugh out of that when I read your comment and then read the directions for the advanced nutes line.

@FoxyLoxy, I'm not sure of what you are saying... I am under the assumption the Fox Farm soil you have is nutrient packed in the bag already...They may have a line of inert medium also that I am not aware of because I dont use or shop for it. One word of warning 99% of the growers using this forum, myself included, are not professional horticulturists and will often give misleading, but not intentional, incorrect information....Hell I even get incorrect information when I go to the hydroponics store and ask questions about nutrient lines or lighting ect...... Sorry if I confused you. I feel confused LOL

It's interesting to see how grows with Quantum Bord . And it is very interesting to look at Gorilla from Expert Seeds. Good luck bro!
