well bro,
before i found the only hydro-shop in the town over i was stuck using the co-op, while you won't find the super duper top of the line nutes you can do pretty well...
in the pic is what i have purchased as far as liquid nutes from a co-op... CO-OP's will have all the mixins for yer soils including worm castings and bat guano, sea weed, pretty much all the little but important ingredients that make for proper weed soil. plus plenty of stuff to expriment with too.
in the pic the earth juice is for hydroponics which i use in soil, hydro nutes are the best fer what were tryin to do... EJ is one the oldest hydro nutes companies still around... while it is not better than FFN it's still better than cheap nutes.
the superthrive is a staple in any nute collection it just packs an extra shot of b vites that your plant gobbles up... it releives stress... so i consider it to be like dope for the plant... not to be abused... that bottle will last for a long time i use it by the drop.
i included the Fish Emulsion just because it is an example of one of the few thins besides empty pots you can get at a nursery... i went to several nursery with high hopes... i mean i had pepper in my step walking into the places only to be sadly dissapointed by the overwhelming amount of chemical ferts... that FE is the only thing and i only bought it because i was stoned and in denial... i bought some bamboo stakes at the next nursery... and i asked if they had FF and the lady gave a suspisious grin cause i definantly do not look like a tree or shrub planting dude... she quickly ansewered "no" and looking at the selection FF is in a whole other realm.
too much info
