Just got in the mail my 3 pack bottles of Earth Juice- Grow, Bloom, and Cataylst.
Since I am in the first week of flowering should I use only the Bloom by itself, or should I make a cocktail of all 3, as there is a recipe on the bottle to do so for the flowering cycle. It is as following:
Per gallon of water:
Grow (2-1-1): 2tbsp
Bloom( 0-3-1): 1Tbsp
Catalyst(0.03-0.01-0.10): 2Tbsp
Meta-K: 2tsp
Microblast: 2 tsp

Lookin good there Redman.....
I grew from seed this go round so I fed using all of the Earth Juice products once I started feeding. The only one I don't use is the catalyst
I built up to a normal feeding from 1/4 the strength....sounds mild but it works from day 12 of the plants lifeand once the leaves are a dark healthy green I skip feedings with aged pHed water.
At the beginning of flowering I kept the Earth Juice Grow at the normal strength for 2 weeks and then backed off slowly once the stretch had calmed down enough to not make the plant use the N up too fast and early.
.....in flowering I also use the Grow at mild strength too, the Bloom at a teaspoon stronger than normal and the meta k at normal plus a teaspoon.
I don't forget the "K"; it's just as important in flowering.
The microblast I use has never gone past mild.
I also supplement with Jamaican Bat Guano.....a teaspoon sprinkled on the top of the soil and fingered into the top 2 inches.
Now for the end ....coming close to finishing.....three weeks before harvest I use aged h2o....pHed ofcourse and that's it......I let the plant do it's thing in 3 weeks and don't take any of the leaves off at all thru it's life. Those are the plant's solar panels.
In my opinion Earth Juice is a complete feeding regiment and should be used together and not just as one source during your feedings. Just my opinion.
stay green Bro

we don't use bloom with veg. because bloom is one cycle and veg is another. we do mix additives with the base nutrient tho, like pk/overdrive/big bud/hygrozyme etc But we use different Products to you

you should stop feeding 'Grow' type nutes (nitrogen) a week before going into flower cycle .... I use Earth Juice 'Grow', 'Microblast', and 'Catalyst' in vegging, stop a week before flower, then switch to Earth Juice 'Bloom', 'Catalyst', and 'Microblast' ... I also use a drop or two of Superthrive in the veg stage, as it helps rooting (and thats all it helps, folks, don't believe everything you hear :D ) ... I stop all feeding 2 weeks before harvest, then only water, and stop light and water the last 3-4 days before harvest ... :smokin:

i find that feeding veg nutes for atleast the first week of flower will keep you from running into a n def half way through flowering.the first two weeks of flowering is the stretch period and the plants use alot of nitrogen,plants do use n through out flowering(very little)but still need it.i see alot of people posting plant problems that are due to running out of n 4-5 weeks into flowering.

good post, mscaboo, you're right on track ... that's why I use the Earth Juice 'Catalyst' throughout, it has the necessary trace nitrogen in it, plus the P&K ... :smokin:
