Hey what's up everyone i was wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of nutes i will be needing for a soilless grow mix consisting of 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 peat moss?? I had someone tell me i needed different nutes then if i was growing in a standard potting mix. Any suggestions or help on this would be greatly appreciated as right now i just have a standard 10-5-5 from my local gardening store., cheers.

that sounds like my coco blend without the coco. I use alaskan fish fert, epsom salts,mollasses,lime and supper thrive.

when you go soilless it is harder to keep the nutes where you need them. I used the lime in the soil. mixed in a hand full when I started. the epsoms salts for mag. diff. the fish fert. mollasses and super thrive I use every other watering. With the alaska fish fret I don't burn ever. so far.

Thanks mate appreciate it, will have a look around in some hydro shops for some good stuff, i am in australia and it seems we use a lot of other types of stuff but i am sure i can find something similar, thanks again..
