Nutrient Overload
cberg1890started grow question 4 years ago
I am at this stage of my very first grow. I feel like I have done a decent job preparing for everything except for nutrients. The choices are overwhelming for me. Are there, say 3, must buy/have nutrients?

Yes my friend... The absolute must haves are nitrogen... Phosphorus and potassium... Of course other micro nutrients and minerals are important but if you are looking for the three must haves . That's them... Most three part nutrients systems will give you what you need

Today, I switch a few over to Professor Bruce Bugbee's soil-less mix :
50% Vermiculite
50% Peat Moss
(& some gypsum and dolomite lime..)
However instead of using Vermiculite I put Perlite, like an idiot!😜
Should that be fine until ready to transplant to super soil in due course?Week 2

PH Levels - Watering vs RunoffAfter my first transplant, I saturated the grow medium and did a PH test on the runoff. I'm watering with un-PH'd aerated tap water which is naturally at 6.5. The runoff water is coming in at 5.5. Should I alter the PH I'm watering with so the runoff meets my PH target?Week 1
