Nutes?

[exhashsmoker]

Hi,

Im just wondering generally how often should you be feeding your plants at what stages etc? I know not to feed two weeks before harvest but what about up to harvest?

When do you start feeding and how much?I plan on growing lowryder in a closet.

I have looked aound for info but I cant find anything specific.

Any info on feeding would be great!

my first grow... In a 2' x 2' (6 feet high) closet with poor ventilation I will have a fan to circulate the air. looking at growing lowryder for my first grow as they are auto flowering..probably using 6x 20w CFLs as they are the most powerful I can find here without going for HPS>

I use Fox Farm products and I'm growing four Cal Bud plants now. I use the chart dusto posted without any problems. Plants are still looking good, a bit burnt at the tips, but nothing serious. This is my second grow and chances are you won't get centerfold quality plants, as far as looks go, but your herb won't be affected by any unsightly leaf discoloration. So as long as you don't kill them, you'll be fine.

I wont be able to get those products over here in Ireland, im looking at getting something from the garden store. Do you just follow the instructions for a normal plant or how often should you be using nutes for marijuana plants? Should I get ones that mix in with the water?

As far as I know they all mix with water, regardless of where you buy them or the brand. I would just follow the directions. But be sure to get something that approximates the Fox Farm formula. You can probably get their nute ratios online at their website. Just jot them down and take the formula to your local garden store, or head shop and tell them you're looking for nutes with those specs. Also, you could send off for them by mail. Don't know what that would cost. But I hear Canadian nutes are good too. If it's your first grow, it's going to be a test run no matter what you use. Just stay close to the Fox Farm ratios and you should be okay.
