Has anyone used Dr Earth fertilizers? The powdered ones. Looking to start using organic fertilizers instead of bottled nutes for my next grow. Which Dr Earth fertilizers should I get for the whole plants life cycle from seed to flowering? How should I go about using it? Gonna be growing autos in coco and compost mix.

Dr. Earths is great stuff for the veg cycle. I loaded it into my FFOF when I planted my seedlings from 4 inch nursery pots into their forever pots at Dr. Earth's container guidelines. For the entire veg cycle I didn't add anything other than a minimal amount of cal-mag. I had bottled nutrients I began using once I flipped to flower which is a much bigger hassle. Next grow I'd like to try their bloom granular to see how it would do. Mixing water and cal-mag is way simpler than mixing multiple shirt staining nutrients every time a person feeds. Planning on also using other dry nutrients for any extra nutrients like bone meal, kelp and so forth. Dry nutrients are also way easier to store and keep tidy. Finding a leaking bottle in my nutrient bucket isn't my favorite way to start the morning. FyI I'm pretty new at growing and a total newbie at indoor growing, actually getting ready to harvest my first indoor here in a week or two. Two cents from a very stoned and tired farmer. Stay safe.

Thank you for the feedback. This is gonna be my fourth season growing indoors. I’ve been using general hydroponics flora trio but got tired of mixing a bunch of liquids together for every feeding. Was looking for a more simplistic route. For flower I was thinking using the dr earth flower girl or the bud and bloom fertilizer.

I was looking at using the powdered ones seems more easier. Don’t have to mix a bunch of liquids together for every feeding. I like the idea of just top dressing and watering. More simple. I’m still gonna be using bottled cal mag thou.

I grow in perlite hempy buckets,it's easier for the way I grow.I would try their other nutes if needed because the ones I use work very well.

Using coco and compost mix. I use real growers recharge. I’ve been getting some good results with what I been using, just looking to make it easier on me. And I like the idea of going organic.

There are a ton of threads on here about Dr Earth. Mostly in the organic section. But if you do a quick search on here you will see a bunch of threads.

I had a big post written up but then I realized I was thinking about Down To Earth instead of Dr Earth. I can't comment on the Dr but the DTE products are good if you're going organic.

That's all i use. With Roots Organics Original soil

MIX flower girl WITH home grown, half and half (see picture below)

For autoflowers i use a smaller dose: at week 4, top dress ONE big tablespoon per gallon of soil
Slowly water in with tap water, That's it, first and last feeding.

For photoperiods, i'm trying it out for the first time, and they need more, i almost gave the full dose of 2 tablespoons per gallon of soil, and will add same amount in 3 weeks

this is a cinderella jack autoflower grown like i said, organic weed is so much better, this plant was pure ripe mango
