Ya made me laugh Scott! The recipe is soooo simple it isn't funny.
There are no secret ingrediants. I have posted this before, but here goes:

I start with potting soil from wally world. I believe it is called hydronex, you'll know if it's the right one by the price, it is super cheap! Only $1.66 for a 20lb bag, to this add atleast a 40% mix of perlite, and a handful or two of the Bone meal, and that is all you need to start with for vegging.

If at any point you feel your plants need more nutrients, (doubtful) you can always toss some more bone meal onto the soil prior to watering them. (top feeding)

This will take you, all the way through vegging, when you are ready to flower, perform your last transplant into a larger pot, this time go very easy on the bone meal, maybe half a handful at most, but also add a couple handfuls of super swell bat guano. This will take you all the way through flowering, once or twice I did top feed em some more bat guano.

The only other "secret" ingrediants that I've used on this grow was superthrive, early on during vegging, and maxicrop liquid seaweed.
These are both root enhancers, and the maxicrop helps reduce stress also. I also fed them molasses twice during flowering.

The potting soil I started with, is just basic potting soil, and by defenition potting soil has NO nutrients in it at all. USe what ever you can get your hands on easily. I like this brand, as its easy to get, cheap, and clean too.
The bone meal and bat guano provide all the macro nutrients need for the plants, and some micro nutrients too, the molasses will supply the rest of the micro nutrients.

The only tip(s) I have for you, is do not be cheap with the perlite! Potting soil, left on its own, will clump. Perlite fixes that problem for you.
When you go to flower, use the largest pots you can get. Mine were 6 or 7 gallon pots. This recipe is for about 10 plants, adjust as necessary. The one thing I've noticed is, because it is organic, there is virtually no problem with nute burn, the plants simply take in what ever they need, and leave the rest. Always PH your water too! I promise you that you'll be simply amazed at the buds that you start to produce.
Peace

Hey friends, well I blew a ballast today. Exactly 8 weeks into flowering, so I harvested my last lady. I didnt weight it all, only the main cola.
It was sticky icky, you gotta love it! Anyways, the main cola, wet, weighed 115 grams trimmed. It is excellent smoke, and as my kids g/f said....this is better than any "headies" going around.

For those of you in my generation and not knowing what "headie" means, it's appearantly the equivelant to "some really good shit"!
Peace
