Haven't grown for a while. Never bothered with soil indoors because hydro with GH was so easy, so fun, so productive. But once upon a time someone talked me into getting rid of everything. Of course she left soon afterwards but that's life.
Now... I have pretty much nothing. No good genetics, no good lights, no ferts, no cash.
Any cash that I don't spend on the necessities of life I give to my mother. She has cancer and is not able to work like she used to. Shouldn't have to work at all at her age but again that's life.
So I've mixed up some "soil" with 3 parts perlite, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part peat moss, 1 part cactus soil (filler lol), a bit of pellatized lime, a bit of cal/mag, a pinch of charcoal, blood, sweat, tears.
My choice of ferts at present are whatever I've found under my kitchen sink:
Miracle Grow - Everyone knows what's in this garbage.
Shultz Instant Ultra-Pure Concentrated African Violet Food (8-14-9) - Ammoniacol N 0.7%, Nitrate N 0.4%, Urea N 6.9%. "Potential Acidity 180kg CaCO3 per ton"
Scotts Liquid Plant Food Concentrate (All-Purpose 7-7-7) - 0.7% Ammoniacal N, 1.3% Nitrate N, 5% Urea N, P2O5 7%, soluble K2O 7%, Chelated Cu 0.07%, Chelated Fe 0.12%, Chelated Mn 0.1%, Chelated Zn 0.07%
Plus whatever vitamins I've got in the med cabinet and whatever is in my water besides enough chlorine to make a healthy person vomit ha ha.
Oh yeah, I've got some CFLs which sucks and some seeds from some really crappy mostly-sativa crap that I'm sure wants to grow 22 feet tall over the course of probably a 20-week flowering period <SIGH>.
Any advice? Other than to give up now? Assuming that I can scavenge some decent lighting before it's too late, is there any hope of fruition with one of these three ferts?
Thanks in advance.
