    Default Nutrients for soil

    Hi all, So I've got my setup sorted and my soil but I haven't got any nutrients yet. I'm using plant magic supreme soil and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction regarding nutrients?
    I will be growing autos if that makes a difference.
    Thanks

    would you know if you have hard or soft water?? this can swing it in terms of which liquid nutes are suitable for your area too! biobizz is shocking in parts of the uk see buds thread

    Ask the internet for your local water report. like lip said, it helps loads to know what you are starting with.

    I have never had to grow with hard or very hard water. If I had hard or very hard water I would be using a different approach to feeding.

    I currently have about 6 bottles to add to my inert water (so soft that there is nothing in it)

    With hard water I think 2 bottles would suffice. With hard water veg and bloom should be all a grower needs.

    Thanks! The tabs sound like a good option to me, gonna have a read of the thread you posted and see what I think.
    In terms of water, it's hard water in my area. I read somewhere that a guy fills a bucket with water and let's it air for a day because his water is hard and it improves the water, sounds like a snake oil kinda thing to me or does it work?
    Also when would I need to start adding nutrients if I go with the liquid? I'm gonna start off with the plant magic and mix about 25% perlite with it

    by leaving your water sitting for 24hrs is letting the chlorine evaporate or off gas, i do this anyhow i draw water into 6lt water bottles n leave standing before giving them a drink rotating the freshly filled to the back of the que.

    thats the beauty of the tabs you insert them once n water every other day, no real faffing about, the powered amendments are mixed in with the soil before hand to boost root growth, the liquid nutes on the other hand is playing it by eye n knowing when the plant is starting to need a bump and gauging just how much as not to over feed n burn the leafs further increasing or adapting the dosage when needed.

    Just what I've been looking for, same as, long shifts and hurried feeds every 3 days, without really looking at the plants, by the time you notice a deficiency, not got the time or effort to recover it. Gonna give them Biotabs a shot
