Was just wondering if I were to use light warrior for my plants for the first few weeks, then when I transfer.. can I use a plain soil and just feed it nutrients? or what should I do? soil is too expensive to just have nutrients in them for a few weeks...

If I am understanding "plain soil" right,are you referring to dirt from your yard or just cheap soil from the store? All soil contains some kind of nutrients already in them,but If you are going on the cheap but have nutes,plant them in whatever you can afford.

im thinking the OP wants to run light warrior, then switch to a promix type of soil (no nutes in soil), but then add nutes as needed. the additional nutes will add up to be equal to or more than running a good nute/soil combo (FFOF, light warrior, ect, imo).

it actually won't, it's around 300 bucks for FFoF 3 pack for 3 months at full dose which I probably won't need, so I need some help and suggestions on what's efficient for an outdoor grow of 50 plants with around a 500 dollar budget.

Is that the Supersoil formula? I do hydro, but was thinking about a soil for mother plants.

EDIT: Never mind, I watched the video.

I really like the Coco Not & other soiless mediums made from coconuts. I switched after 4 years of different soils and haven't looked back!
