Nutes

Can someone recommend a cheap but decent all round nute I could order or buy at a store.

My plant is about 1.5 feet tall and I was using miracle grow for a little while until I heard that MG is terrible for weed. So I haven't been using anything.

I don't want to spend too much and I don't want to buy multiple things. Is there like one all round good nute you'd recommend? Something under $10 would be sweet.

most fert regimens are usually at least two parts: one for veg one for flower.

but you could use an all purpose fert with a balanced npk ratio from veg through flower. imo, for something like that, i would use a guano, because most other ferts with balanced npk ratios are usually chemical based or chemically derived.

here's the guano i would use (you have to scroll down the page to find it). $14 for 2 lbs.

There is no other unblended natural organic material that contains an equivalent percentage of plant nutrients. Use for all plants, provides fast and slow release nutients in a natural form. Apply one teaspoon per 8 inch diameter container or two lbs. per 100 square feet. One heaping tablespoon per vegetable transplant hole. 5% water soluble nitrogen, N-P-K averages 13-12-2. Available in 2 pound, 5 pound and 25 pound bags.

application rates vary according to container size. i would top dress with it, and use around a 1/2 tsp. up to 2 tsp. every one or two weeks starting out, then progress up to 1 - 2tbls every week or two and go by what your plant tells you. be careful tho, too much can burn your plants.
