1st of all… I love this forum! Lots of very helpful, knowledgeable folks.
Starting to plan for my next crop after current harvest. I have been using FoxFarm nutrients because I got some for free with my original grow gear on Craigslist and basically following the feeding schedule but at 75%. (when I ran 100% of minimum I got signs of burning. Unfortunately FoxFarm stuff is hard to get due to a warehouse fire or something.
I don’t really have any complaints about FoxFarm other than availability but I don’t have enough left for another whole grow and am interested in what others are using. I’d like to just use a set of products. At this time I don’t want to start brewing my own or doing much mixing and matching. I have heard that organics are more prone to pests. Any truth to that?
What are ya’ll using?
Thanks

              I use a super soil and compost teas personally, if you do not want to make or mix up your own stuff there are plenty of brands out there that will do it for you. Michigan Made Mix M3 soil is a great super soil you can purchase that has 8 weeks of nutrients in it before you’ll need to transplant. Papa’s Perfect Poop is great for making teas too. A good IPM schedule should handle the pests, bugs definitely prefer being around a garden when there is organic/natural inputs being used but they are not all bad. There are beneficial bugs you want around and your IPM schedule will take care of the bugs you do not want around.
If you do not care about organics House and Garden puts out a great product. The best bag appeal I’ve seen is usually from something grown with H+G.

              Thanks for the great info. I found H & G and their stuff looks good.
