yes I am trying to read about PMDD and such. Part of the problem I have is that they each are reciting the same info and none take it from a "uhhh what?" standpoint.

Those are the four you'll want to get.

Don't forget that CO2 is just as, if not more, important than these other ferts, if you're not doing that already.

I know, I am going to go get the tank filled this weekend hopefully (its only been in my car for a year and prior to that in my dads basement for a few years (tank cert expired in 2000 IIRC)
