no they need nutes to grow "good"
some people use soils that are rich in natural nutes but usually you cant grow a plant all the to harvest without needing to be fed at some point

Yup, your plants can look like this if you don't use nuts,,, photo trees.jpg Ask any farmer what he would rather have good nuts or good SOIL.. If you don't have good soil you have to feed it nuts.

I am a noob, and I used some bagged organic potting soil from the store. Says it feeds plants up to two months. I have not fed my plants. They are almost two months old. and almost a month into flower. I will probably start using a simple organic powder plant food to mix with water soon. but yes, I have not fed them yet and they have done good. Im sure when you are experienced and know exactly what to use and how much you can gain higher yields...my downfall I would say is my low budget lighting..2012-07-12 16.26.24.jpg2012-07-12 16.25.48.jpg2012-07-12 16.26.06.jpg2012-07-12 16.25.58.jpg2012-07-12 16.31.18.jpg2012-07-12 16.28.13.jpg2012-07-12 16.30.44.jpg2012-07-12 16.29.55.jpg2012-07-12 16.30.31.jpg

The food is extra important during flower,not only the size of the buds will be affected but the production of THC glands or trichs will be very limited and your bud will turn out all airy and loose without proper feeding.

I can agree with this also, the buds were light and airy, but nothing wrong with thc percentage at all, it is a weed after all, and it does grow naturally,, If you know what your doing, and your only growing a couple plants, its defiantly a low cost option to get some decent personal smoke.

Drolove and peyote religion nailed it. The rest are saying they didn't feed with their prenuted soils. Sorry to say its still feeding. Even the "farmers" that say they would want better soil, it's still a soil that's organically rich in nutrients.
A supersoil reciPe can get u through a grow without adding nutrient enriched water, but thas cause the soil is amended with the stuff needed. Still being fed my friends.
