New Grower How important are fertilizers?

[san]

Hello everyone:

First grow here, currently on like day 35 (autoblueberry-indoor).
How important are fertilizers?, because havent used yet.
Its a big difference?, lets say a plant that yields 20 grams without using any, how much would u get using fert? (Just a rought digit).

It's hard to say how much more you will get using nutes but normally you will always get bigger yields and better buds using some sort of nutrients.

Yeah, sooner or later your soil won't have all the nutes your plant needs...in plain natural soil (I mean in the ground) roots continue growing and searching for water and nutrients, but in a confined pot you will need more for a better yield. On top of it, some strains will be more demanding than others, so you're safer always adding nutes, also if you use LEDs you'll prolly need Calcium and Mg supplement, so plenty of reasons out there...
My personal experience is at least double in yield, but it's also about not stressing the plant and having a healthy grow.

If you wanted to go with something cheap and organic you could order a General Organics Go Box for like 36$. It would show up in a brown amazon box and nobody will be the wiser.

I had 1 plant in a 3 galloon pot under T5 only use 1 table spoon of veg which was a little much for it and 1 table spoon of bloom mid flower and pulled 3 ounces from the plant. Some strains are very light feeders. Lot of things depend on nute requirements. I run pretty large pots now to lower my feeding requirements.
