I walked through all the local store's(wal-mart, lowe's, etc.) gardening section and never really saw anything that caught my eye. i was looking for organic ferts and only saw a handful and they seemed really strong some were 30-60-30 or 15-40-15. I'm no expert so I don't know if those would work but i wasn't willing to risk it. Do you have hydro shop near by?? Or a greenhouse? It may be worth the drive to get the good/right stuff. You might be better off asking this in the basic growing or grower's lounge section. Good Luck!!!

You can always order online, though you would have to pay for shipping. I used some bat guano for my outdoor grow and it was like 8-0-2. I learned the hard way that I needed phosphorous during vegging, though. I think the best thing to do is use a relatively low NPK (like lower than 20 for any of the ratios), or to dilute any highly concentrated fertilizers. Good luck!
