So im on day 47 grow day 19 of flower. Im thinking of adding a bloom nute. I havnt even looked at what is available, but maybe I could get a few tips if I should, could, or shouldnt use. The soil I used was a Miracle Grow soil, with nutrients in it already sorta, one that retainded water better and a starter potting soil, plus perlite. My buds are looking good, and I have about 5.5 weeks left of 12/12 so, I dunno, I just wanna make her as big and strong as possible. Let me know. Thanks guys.
You can add nutes till 2 to 3 weeks before the end. If you're on a budget try Alaska Fertilizers Morbloom. About 1 tablespoon per gallon once a week.
hmm, what about watering and watering with nutes. I am having to water every 2-3 days, depends on the weight of the pot, but ya, so you think I should give it a go? if I get nute burn then Im gonna have to flush and all this other crap, I mean shes looking good. I dunno.
if you are wanting to grow a stronger and more healthy plant you want to add nutes. flushing is part of the process. pick your poison......
as far as watering/feeding. this is something else you are gonna have to figure out on your own. you will be able to tell when she needs to be feed. if the new growth is light green, feed. if your plants are dark green with tips that are starting to burn, don't.
a schedule you might try would be something like water/feed, water, water, repeat or water/feed, water, repeat.
start our with 1/4 or 1/2 strength nutes and adjust as necessary.
you can also try some molasses, preferably black strap, but it doesn't have to be. this will add carbohydrates. use at 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. you can use this with your nutes. it works really well.
good growing.

I use that stuff currently in my BB grow. I use 2 teaspoons of Morbloom and 1 teaspoon of the fish fertilizer to each gallon. Then a tablespoon of molasses (unsulphured black molasses) to the gallon jug and give it a GOOOOOOD shake as the molasses tends to cake up at the bottom.Quote:

So I made 4 2l bottoles with 2.5 in each bottle on accident, ill even it out somewhere. It did say double this for outdoor plants, but I guess my question is should I follow the bottle, or really im just going to have to test it out and see.
Oh and one other thing, will adding nutes cause my ph to flux
Add only 1/4 to 1/2 of what they say on the directions. Yes, I think it will make your PH drop. Adjust your PH to 6.8 then add your ferts to it. It should drop it to about 6.5 with the runoff.
sounds like a plan. so should I water with nutes everytime? every other time? im not going to use molasses. I dunno, to much extra crap you know. plus i havnt used anything yet and its looking good.
with the miracle grow definitely go with 1/4 to 1/2 strength to start. didn't i post that above? and some watering/feeding schedule ideas too?
c'mon bro, read the posts!
be careful with the miracle grow!

Thanks shake, I did read your post, Im just a little lazy brained atm. I think when you said I will have to go with it and just see your right. I find it strange that I shouldnt use what it recommends but half or a quarter. Thats like so little per the amount of water I will be using. Hmm. K well we will have to see. Thanks again.
