Hey Garden Knowm, i heard that your good with nutes....

Is 12-55-6 to much phosphate for flowering. Or does this seem good for flowering. Also, would nutrients effect density of buds? Is 12 too much N? Iv'e always used ferts with no N (0-*-*), but this was reccomended so im trying to find out.

Thanks so much for any reply's not just from Knowm, but anyone who would like to kick their two cents. This thread was just directed twored him because i heard he was great with nutes.

Hi Sittin

I am ok with it...
Although I would like to see the plant in question that is gonna get fed..

It also depends how old the plant is when you flower it...

Most definitley, if you have not used this fert before.. I would use half strength..

phosphurus is in need the greatest during seedling and flowering!

: )
let us know how it works out..

I have a 15-30-15 Nute... Will this be affective, or is it too strong??? ANY advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated

Stay UP :rasta:

Anybody know if my nute of 15-30-15 is too strong or just a bad choice in all??? And if this does prove to be a good nute at what stage of growth/veg do i need to apply it???

Stay UP :rasta:

I have 15-30-15, but friendowl told me thats too much nitrogen, makes the buds taste woody. So I might check out other ferts with lower N, and higher P.

Well sitt ive got the P going, but is 12 for N going to make my nugs tast woody?I was wondering about that same nutes 12-55-6. a professional gardener told me about balance in the nute depending on the stage and volume of soil.Now,since we're about flowering I believe we need more blooming and to do so we have to have more phosphate
dont get me wrong u can burn plants if you over fert. and you dont have the necessary volume of soil since I have a IN pot then I'm able to put tablespoon per gallon of water every 10 days or once every RD week but, i do start off with 0-46-0 at the start of my flowering then i start the feeding on my watering but remember u do nute until the last week or two so,here's the ferts i use so far I'm a first time grower also and the routine I'm using for flowering is working pretty good;I said so far its working

well bluntman, i guess were in this together. How far along is she? haha......

Whats an IN pot?
When will you be switching to the GreenLight Nute?

My girl is 10 days into flowering (http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=50299)

I have only given her fresh water so far 1/2 gal. at a time. I think im going to start greenlight soon. I read up on it and it seems to be a good nute, the only thing is that it is a chem nute and can easily cause nute burn.

Well see whjat happens, keep me posted.

hey bluntman,

Hows your grow going?

My baby is now about 16 days into flowering, she has some weird rust spots on some leaf tips, and a horrible mite problem that im flippin out about. But the nutes seem to be doing her good. Ive decided to feed her the GreenLight for the first few weeks, then switch to Liquinox Bloom with no N, to make sure she doesnt taste woody.

Any good tips on gettin rid of mites, without using garlic (that shit reaks)

A good base fertilzer.
Spike them early, flush them early.
