Organic is the way to go for a far superior taste and smell. Preplant fertilizers work for the plants in my garden until flower, along with, beneficial micro-organisms - piranna, etc..., (which i have heard die when in the prescence of chemical salts). Not only that but the chemical salts force the plant into big cracked out chemy tasting buds, and can cause a harsh smell and smoke. Even when cured.

I suggest if you are just growing for your own medical benefit, go 100% organic. Mix into your soil whatever composts you might want - chicken great! horse, bat guano (put a layer of high phos at the bottom, and high nitrogen at the top) organics alive worm castings(which have a veg compost mixed in)!!! dairy plant compost, gypsum rock phosphate, and dolomite lime to buffer ph. And number 1 ingredient: PERLITE! Roots love to have oxygen, so dont deprive them of this by making the soil too tightly packed.

however, too loosely packed and you leech your nutrients out quicker, so get some Sphagnum peat moss to compensate.

There ya have it, after your transplant into the final flowering pots, these ingredients will push you along for a month or more.

Organics is #1!!

I buy this stuff from the Vermont Compost Company. Its my favorite thing to use in the world and makes your plants oh so green and beautiful.

It consists of:
A compost made with blends of cow manure, horse manure, hen manure, bark, leaves, straw, hay, sawdust, high strength dairy waste, spoiled forage, and mature compost. Then, they add sphagnum, rock phosphate, gypsum, protein meal, perlite and vermiculite
I add more perlite to the mix, but it is airated in the factory.

"Contains ample nutrients to carry most vegetable and flower starts to transplant. Note: in very small containers, or for certain crops, supplemental fertilizing may be desirable."

For that supplemental fertilizing, i am thinking some teas will do nicely, also i am DEFINATELY going to get pirrannah and any other beneficial micro-organisms i can get my hands on!
