@Aqua Man im sure there is something in these stores around me i just do not know what to look for , like the other day when you were talking about i could just get some buffered peat moss and perlite to grow in , well how do i know it's buffered none of the packages i look at say anything about it being buffered or not

If they list lime products they are PH buffered. Usually dolomite lime.

For micros you can look for micros doing a search of that word on your local store’s website i would think

On the back or online it lists what’s in it.

I couldn’t get this locally this year so G$ recommended ProMix HP. He can’t get the HP local so he gets ProMix BX I think. Then adds extra perlite, like 25% iirc.

This is the HP contents.

Can you post what you do think is okay/good in stock in your area?

Trust me I get it. Just don’t stress over it.

Do what you can with what you have available. If you think something is better post and ask. Don’t think anyone here would leave you hanging.

What about Ace Hardware? I have been getting my nutes from them. HD and Lowes couldn't compete and/or did not have. I got 12lb of Dr. Earths 3-9-4 Flower Girl shipped to a store for free then I picked up. Was like $36 and I felt that was a good deal. I would not have thought to check Ace Hardware for shit like I do Lowes/HD but now they are above both of them imo

Thanks PT! 👊

Not looking forward to the trim circus in a week but this is the price we pay for freedom lol

I hear you bro. Add in wicked OA, CTS, and Ulnar Neuropathy and trim jail becomes quite the hurdle. I "appear" to have 8 strains that will need to be harvested 5-7 weeks ahead and I'm just going to not think about it at all as if someone else will be handling it 😆
Now that I think of it, we should have(or is there already) a "How to make Trim Jail suck balls less" thread 🤗

Glacial rock dust by Gaia Green is good. I've also used azomite by down to earth.

I shop Robinsons Ace Hardware 7 miles away, its the same as any regular Ace, its just privately owned by a local guy so he gets all my business. Especially when a bale of promix is 56 dollars there vs 200 shipped to my door. Ive been dealing with Judd for almost 4 years, i never go to lowes or HD unless i need lumber.

Company is my secret. Even if they dont help trim, it helps me to have someone nearby to bullshit and smoke doobs with. Otherwise i lose my focus within 15 minutes and just end up trimming when i need more, which sucks balls.

Man i hate the places that dont update prices.
This guy Judd Robinson owns 4 maybe 5 stores all within 10 miles of me just different directions so its a pretty reliable place to shop for me.

My Lowe’s and either Rona or Home Depot carry Pro-Mix HP & BX which surprised me. But it more $$.

Sorry, just checked again. Rona is the only one left and doesn’t seem to have HP now.

Just purely at a consistency level. The GG Rock Dust was way more water soluble, Azomite tends to "clump" and form a layer on the soil when you top dress it in.

It's a personal preference thing :)

1 tip -- have some black sandpaper, the kind that takes water. Use alcohol instead of water and clean your shears every few minutes. Makes the shears more effective, less goo adherence. You can also sharpen with a quick stropping motion. Stem cell therapy for the Ulnar Neuropathy?

Sunshine #4 mix is buffered.

The main difference between Sunshine #4 mix and most of the Pro-mix line is Sunshine has more perlite.

Good thinking with the sandpaper and thanks. I also noticed that when using the right disposable gloves, the resin "pills" and doesn't stick to the gloves and allows for easy hash ball making.
As for stem cell therapy, if money were no option I'd get it in every joint I have for sure. I did have an epidural in my spine 2 times to try to help with degenerative disk disease and spinal stenosis but it didn't work either time. I'm a hot mess and gotta get my shiz together this year or else

Honestly? No not at all. They are just throwing in a bunch of stuff that you may or may not need or ever use, or are just charging you way too much for the amount given.

These are pretty much the primary nutes you need from their lineup. I can get the smaller containers for under $12 from my Hydro store, the larger 22lb bags are around $55 and that's what I buy.

I can get a 30lb bag of EWC for around $35cdn.
I order that MYKOS brand off Amazon for ~$60cdn and the bag has lasted me a few grow cycles now

Where are you located @GoodShit97 ?
