The guy at the first garden shop I went to told me to put mulch around the top of the plant to keep the moisture in. He asked me what I was growing... I told him I was growing tomatoes... LOL, so maybe that's why.

Anyway, I found a great hydroponics garden supply in the next town over which is where I'm going from now on. It's staffed by a bunch of hippies. They didn't even ask me what I was growing... they knew not to. They were just like, "So you're looking for strong vegetative growth right now, and then really big flowers come autumn, right?"

Anyway, I bought some "Fox Farm Peace-of-Mind" all purpose organic fertilizer. It is granules.

I'll probably just re-pot the plants tomorrow in a bigger pot with a little of that (probably just a tsp. for each half gallon pot), and put a few granules on top. I'll work some into the top of the soil every few weeks or so. Then, at flowering, I'll kick in some bat guano to boost the buds. Sound good?

I've heard that cannabis doesn't require the "full strength" most fertilizer directions give. So I'm wondering if I should half the directions for this Fox Farm stuff. However, it almost seems like this stuff was made for cannabis growers. It is 5-5-5, and the package is a little "trippy" looking and shit.

Again, I appreciate everyone's advice, it gives me peace of mind to run this by experienced growers. (no pun intended)

P.S. I would grow some other vegetables as well, but I don't have any land. I'm growing my weed in some God-forsaken swamp outside of town, and I'd hate to get busted because my tomatoes caught Leo's eye as he was flying over. Lord knows once I own property I'll grow my own veggies though.
