Default Favorite ferts for guerrilla style?

Hi guys and gals. Just wanted to get some feedback on the preferred ferts for guerrilla style grows. I haven't done outdoor since I was a kid helping the 'ole man, so needless to say, I might as well be considered an outdoor noob.

Anyhow, I'll be using the Earth Juice line, with Grotek's Cal-Max for added calcium and magnesium just because that is what I have left-over from my indoor stuff. But I sure would like to know what some of you guerrilla veterans depend on year after year.
Thanks follks.

I have been told miracle grow will work just fine for out doors, which I have used before indoors and it did the job. I bet it could get expensive using hydro nutes on out door crops, just IMO. Any reason why you add the nails, would they even let enough off to make a difference in soil content?

I use Miracle Grow for my outdoor plants,general purpose 20/20/20 for veg,then switch to the Miracle Grow for flowers (can't remember the numbers)once the plants start to flower.

They have a MG bloom, its something like 15-30-15. I've been wondering if that would be better to use for the flowering period.

As for the MG veg, I hear you should only use half the recommended amount, is this what you do?

I'd say that ideally, the planting hole should be well amended with slow release nutrients before planting. Be aware that many organics have an odor that will attract critters, who just love to dig around your prized plants with disastrous results.

I also believe "guerilla" nutes are dry nutes...

You can't be lugging miracle grow all over the grow. Amend the soil with slow release dry ferts like FoxFarms Fruit&Flower 5-8-6 w/myco, some earthworm castings, and dolomite lime... THEN an occasional visit with topdressings, Liquid Karma or Mo Teas...

Biggest challenge for guerilla grows in my neck of the woods isn't lugging fertilizer anyway, but lugging water to get em through the hellacious dry spells that seem to have become the norm here over the past few years.
