Now, onto what to do when you run out of the Trio!
[Not sure if it's clear on whatever device you use to browse the forum, but I often drop links in my posts, so keep an eye out for those. Also, the word "

sponsors' page by the website.

There are loads of nutrient manufacturers and some of them are
sponsors. Our
sponsors are great but I haven't grown with most of them or even seen many grows with some. There are also other ways of fertilizing our plants than sticking to a single nutrient brand.
In the sponsor category, I've seen some good grows using
Prescription Blend's line. They are available at Amazon and their rep is often on the site answering questions and solving problems. You can follow
Virgin Ground's new grow to see how she's doing with them. BooWho2 also ran
most of her summer grow using them. Also,
beez0404 had a great grow using them and won August Plant of the Month from that grow.
You also might be able to get a free sponsorship from them! Rules here:
Greetings 420Mag! I am very happy to have the opportunity to be here as a sponsor representing Prescription Blend Nutrients. We are creating this thread as a place for people to ask questions, post pics, give their opinions etc. To get that discussion going we need to get our nutrients sent out...

Another way of feeding plants is by mixing nutes into the soil and then top-dressing every two weeks from then on (until transplant, when you would mix some into the new soil and start the process again). One product that works that way is our sponsor
GeoFlora. Many folks are growing nice plants using it, but others are having troubles with deficiencies that are hard to overcome without mixing some regular nutes into waterings because of the time lag between feedings. It's an easy mostly-water-only product, but like I said, I've seen mixed results and had them myself.
Another method of fertilizing is to mix and match products to try to achieve specific goals. This method is based on attempting to hit target numbers for N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Sulfur. It sounds like a complicated task, except that there are a few folks who have already paved the path forward. As I mentioned in your other thread, Farside05 is using three products available at Amazon and
is growing beauties in his tents: Tezula Plants MSU 13-3-15 fertilizer, Pro-Tekt silica, and Potassium Sulfate (all mixed into tap water). All you need is a good scale.
So that's a lot of reading for you! Let me know your thoughts before I go any further.
