Can anyone offer some advice on the nutrient levels needed for an oxypot.I started flowering about a week ago and already the leaves are turning yellow and dying.I have been using Advanced hydroponics at quarter strength as suggested by a 'friend' but i am tempted to give it more:confused: will this help bring some colour back

There are three bottles to mix together.The 1st is grow 25-12-50 the 2nd is bloom 00-50-35 the 3rd is micro 45-00-10.They are added at different quantities as flowering nears its end or so the bottle says!:)

man i use the same stuff. There is no reason to be mixing it at 1/4 strength. I know that sometimes you wana go ½ or ¼ strength but, this is only for nutes that are for tomatoes or other plants. Advanced nutrients is made for cannabis so the levels they tell you are for cannabis. Unlike miracle grow which is for a very large variety of plants.

I would go full strength, but you might want to slowly raise the concentration over a week or something

sorry but full strength is a big no no that how most people burn their plants always use 1/4 to see how she reacts to it if all goes well the following week add a bit more.

I donâ??t know, I am just speculating but these ferts are created for cannabis. The given concentrations are for cannabis and the ratio changes every week so why would you not trust these measurements.

My understanding was that the ¼ rule of thumb was for nutes not intended for cannabis. As cannabis generally doesnâ??t like strong nutes (I would assume this is taken into account by the hydroponics companies)

Thanks guys.I have been using 1/4 strength and I am 2 weeks into flowering most of the large leaves have died and the rest are looking very pale,should I increase the nutrients?
Harris7 Do your plants suffer due to giving them full strength?
