Can i use hydroponic nutes for outdoor 100%soil medium

[reddevil6]

As the title says can i use hydroponic ferts for a outdoor plant in 100% soil medium i was sure i can but ive been told by someone i cant.

I think the main problem u will run into is burning the plants ( overfeeding ) because the soil contains nutreints so u will never really know how much to give it. Have a go at Chrons super sauce heard great things.

You can use them, however I wouldnt advise it, as paul said, judging feed strength can be difficult due to the nutrients already present, soil also holds and buffers nutrients, unlike hydroponic medium, so feeds dont need to be nearly as regular. Besides all that, a decent organic fertilizer (paul is right, check out chrons super sauce) will give better results in soil (and cost less as well), then when it comes to flowering time just add some sulphate of potash and you are all good.

Another thing with hydro nutes in soil is that most of them are chemical salts in solution, this is not at all beneficial to the microbial activity in soil, leaving your soil 'dead' and opening it up to invasion by unwanted pathogens.

My last outdoor grow using Canna potting mix and wormcastings in pig shit in the big hole I dug didn't need any nutes for approximately 3 months, when the plant started to tell me to feed it I used Canna Terra nutes for soil. Half strength never had to use full strength also had a small handful of slow release fertilizer thrown on the ground as well.

I use some hydro nutes and have never had any problems. But I never use full strength. I use canna super potassium, canna terra vega and canna cannazym. All work well.

no

it is not advisable to use hydro nutrients in soil grows

it a waste of $$$$$$$$$$$

because all hydro nutrients are made of nutrient salts

1st reason is pure economics --->all salts are soluble and are the first to be flushed out by 1st rain or irrigation

and 2nd reason is botanical---->all salts mess with the plants ability to take up the right nutrients from the natural soil microbes

the simple solution is to flush regularly

but now were back to economics
