Did a quick search, but found nothing for Scotts Select. How old is the product? Is it liquid or powder or pellets? Time release, or 'normal' release? (it'll say on the package)

I have serious doubts that it's optimal, but it should do fine till flowering, when you'll need a nutrient lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorous. But you might want to hit the outdoor growing forum, and get the advise from the outdoor specialists, and see what they recommend. :thumbsup:

You'll also learn a lot studying the posts in the outdoor section, and seeing what they do.

hey there sammy. the scotts is a great all around fertilizer that is made in my home town. stuff can do good things for ur plant. keeps them really green. but once they start to bud it dont do much for the yield. and u gotta do a real good flush to get all it out of ur plant. but since u on a budget it will work fine. just be easy with it cuz i have got some bad nute burn using it at full strenght. peace

thanks fellas,i read enough to know better as it is time release and i would have a hard time flushing it.i went to lowes and bought shultz 10-15-10,it will have to do for this year.but when do i start to use something for better buds cause i will pay for the good shit somehow.thanks again and TC
