Bunnings Nutrients Information


Recommended Posts

Bunnings is great for all your basic gardening needs. Would not recommend if growing in hydroponics as this isn't their particular market (supply and demand, etc). They do specialise in soilless mediums, such as coco coir, perlite, etc. but if you need hydroponic nutes you're best finding a speciality retailer online.

 

 

Nutrients needed to grow flowering/fruiting plants are usually very similar (ie. tomatoes, peppers, cannabis, marigolds), it all depends on the growth stage/cycle and your end-goal. And to not overdo it. This can't be stressed enough!

 

 

Bunnings are good for the following nutrients (IMO)...

 

 

Powerfeed (green) - vegetative cycle : it has a good balance of NPK ratios plus all the micronutrients and soil conditioners.

 

Seasol - veg/budding : great for roots and general wellbeing. If you need proof put a cutting in plain water and another cutting in a light seasol solution and watch the roots go wild.

 

Neem Oil - veg/bud/flowering : very effective against pests and mold. Can be used as a foliar spray but use with extreme caution as misuse will literally burn your plants under direct light.

 

Liquid Potash - bud/flowering : you will see incredible results in pre-flower through to harvest. Overdo and your plants will let you know within 48hrs.

 

Epsom Salts - budding/flowering : helps keep magnesium deficiencies (often caused by the blooming nutes) and is a general soil conditioner. 

 

 

One other thing that I find essential to growing healthy plants that you wont find at Bunnings but will find in the health food aisle at Woolies/Coles is unsulphured molasses.

 

 

Again, I must stress, take it easy on nutrients.

 

 

Although cannabis should be available and free to grow to the adult population I do encourage everyone to grow as many vegetable and fruit plants as they possibly can, it will teach you patience, ease anxiety and many other benefits.

 

 

Hope this information helps.

or you could look up what KNF Korean Natural Farming is & make most if not all the above for a million times better product for your time & almost zero $$$$ 

 

bottled nutrients are no diff than packaged food we eat , full of preservative's & shelf life extenders 

if you put organic matter in a bottle , it's natural process is to break down , if there wasn't something else

in the bottle stopping that process , it would be a very diff product from what left the factory & made it on the shelf 

just like food products we eat & there non food ingredients , color preservative ect ect  

 

if you wanna buy something from bunnings , buy seeds , green manure mix , corn seed , barley seed , alfalfa or lucerne seed

Although i wouldn't buy them from bunnings either cos there cheaper in larder/usable amounts else where https://www.edenseeds.com.au/?name=Product-Info-Seeds&product=green-manure-mix-autumn-winter

 

one , you can make fertilizer out of them by making SST's Sprouted Seed Teas  , two , you can plant them , especially the green manure mix

all plants will attract beneficial microbes to there root systems , that life attracts other life , just as the story of life go's & the Soil Food Web  

this soil microbe eats this soil microbe & shits out perfectly balanced plant available nutrients which the plants is in control of  

 

as far as neem go's , yep good stuff , but eco neem i think has a emulsifier already added & in general it's not really an item that will benefit a plant 

if you own 100% neem oil you will need a emulsifier but in this case you get to control what that is , & if your in control why not use a emulsifier that 

will benefit the plant like aloe vera or saponins from soapnuts 

neem is not the only oil you can use , peppermint thyme rosemary , someone else found this cheat sheet so i made a copy

Can i ask you a question? How do you want to grow? If your tight on money and want to grow cheap using KISS then go that way. If your good at reading instruction and measuring go with solutions. Most everyone on here grows a bit differently. As a newbie its very easy to start double guessing what you decide on because we read so much about so many different things that people do that work. It can be really head fukin some days. If in doubt just take baby steps ie first get babies to sprout, then into good quality soil with premix fertiliser in it allready. As your grow progresses then add pics and ask for advice.

Something i read here once made alot of sense.. its a weed that grows wild...

Good point Aquadoll. One step at a time. Learn as you go, ask questions. :-)

 

As for a wild weed, yes and no. The more selective the breeding, especially those breed for indoor cultivation, will be finicky outdoors and may be prone to humidity or pests and diseases. A strain that has been developed for outdoor growing usually can tolerate climactic issues.

 

No point growing a strain with low disease and humidity resistance outdoors in coastal areas of Australia IMO.
