Best Nutrients for outside

[captain]

For my outdoor grows, I use a variety of nutrients. One of the main ingredients I add to the 5 gallon bucket is about 4-5 ounces of blackstrap molasses, in addition to General Hydroponics Veg and now Bloom variety. I add things like kelp meal, citric acid, among others. Last season, I did use mostly compost tea in addition to the above mentioned ingredients and also work quite well.

I have been told and have come to believe that the Blackstrap molasses does a couple opf things. In addition to adding sugars for the roots, it gives that plants a flavor that most predator insects do not like so in addition to being a good addition to the feeding system, it acts as an insecticide, preventing pests from damaging plants.

Better yet, use tuna water mixed with water.

Most salt based synthetic nutrients targeted at cannabis growers are way overpriced. With liquid bottle salt nutes, you're also paying for the logistic cost of transporting water.

The brands purchase the salts from chemical manufacturers and relabel them. Probably same salts from same manufacturers in a lot of the fancy overpriced nutrients that are in miracle gro.

If you want to keep the price down, Jack's or Master Blend will do just fine. Use Calcium Nitrate and Magnesium Sulfate to supplement Cal and Mag. There is a lot of info online about using those for cannabis.

For convenience, I use GH MaxiGro/MaxiBloom one-part dry nutes as base. I supplement with BluePlanet EasyWeed soluble kelp, WOW soluble humic/fulvic, pH down with bulk ascorbic acid, Botanicare CalMag+.

Put dry parts in 5 gal bucket. Fill halfway with water Mix with mixer attachment on high speed drill. Add CalMag. Add water to 5gal while mixing. Then water it in on plants.

My plants seem to like it....

Dude , I just found this and yes you were right. I used Master Blend on all my outdoor stuff and to say they grew huge is an understatement. I been away for awhile and hope your doing great. I sent you big marigold seeds 2 years back. I was always hoping you relieved them. Anyway , I had to thank u for the great advice.
