Mushroom compost vs. Chicken shit

[K80]

Hello first post ever... k80 here i have a bag of mushroom compost fertilizer, but i have been afraid to use it as i have not used fertilizers or even grew interior before. my plants had went thru stages of light green leaves back to healthy looking dark green leaves, and as they have been in the ground about 2-3 weeks now i am debating whether or not to use fertilizer, and i am not sure if the mushroom compost will affect my ph adversely or possibly even kill or damage my plants. i have tried to keep this very broad and open as i am here more for knowledge to improve my grow rather than go through an endless amount of troubleshooting that can dwindle my yields or even waste time and money caring for my plants incorrectly. i will be posting more questions on the other topics as i am going to need help on sexing, nutrients, and ph balancing.

hi ther k80, nice pics dude! areyou talking about mushroom compost soil? i've grown in pots using this stuff before and it did well,its quite a forgiving medium that almost looks after itself.. just give them a nitrogen rich fertilizer for the grow period, i fertilized every 2 weeks and just gave them ph adjusted water every other day.

also you should get a bigger pot. cya

yea no problem, i love to help people, it gives me a special kind of high if this is your first grow you just want to keep it really basic so you can learn as you go with out killing your plant with too much love and advanced nutes, when i did my first grow about 10 years ago i only used fish emulsion fertilizer as its high in Nitrogen(makes plants grow green and lucious) and it will not burn your plants and when flower time came i just swithed to a basic bloom booster(high in potassium and phosphurus to make branches strong and hold plenty of buds ) and that was it! cya!
