I am just a couple of weeks away from flowering my plants and was looking to see what people use as ferts during the flowering stage while using soil. I know there are several people out there that use more than one thing during flowering but what was the best mixture that you have found to work. I want to have my flowering nutes on hand for when i start the flowering process. For example, i know that i will be using Sweet+Molasses+??. What would you recommend for big, fat, juicy buds?
Read the stickies by Latewood and Stinky at the top of the Basic Growing index.
Essentially you want to use three part nutes. The correct doages for the different stages of flowering are shown on the nute containers.

I like the Botanicare line.
Using Sweet + Pro Bloom + Molasses.
Tops are REALLY nice and plump.
The calyx's look like balloons ready to pop!
I like something in the 10-50-10 range for flowering. (NPK)....:thumbsup:
general hydroponics floro series 3 part, so far so good
just bought some general hydroponics flourisious plus
and goin for molasses
also used the vita grow's anti-wilt and it works good
What you guys mean by 'sweet'? I am also going to get some flowering nutes. Not sure what is available in the UK!
I am using Neptune's harvest fish fert atm, is that good enough for flowering?
UK- you should be able to get the Canna and/or the Home&Garden brands just about anywhere- both very reputable.
" Sweet" is Botanicare's carb precursor product. Just walk into the shop and ask for a carb precursor- Sweet, Carboload, Sweet Leaf, etc....
i use bonticare pro bloom calmag and hydroplex and it makes my buds huge i have found it to work very well
I like botanicare pure blend pro bloom, or cornucopia bloom, but good luck finding that stuff.
well, worm castings +++ seabird guano, and something called quick start. mg 4-12-4 . given realy weak.
Twoguys, do I recall that you run heavily organic in general?
fox farm tiger bloom
yes stinky we do go mostly organic, quickstart is a seedling fert for other plants. it works well for us if the leaves start yellowing early while flowering or with the young plants to promote roots. we really use a diluted solution if it is needed though. less than half the recomended strength. i dont know the numbers for the wormcastings but they are mostly nitrogen and our seabird is all phospherous.
Tiger Bloom is nice , but my best result have been with Hawaiian Bud and Bloom. 5-50-17. I also use a light top dressing of Bat Guano. I also always add a bit of molasses to the mix and check the ph.
Quite a few growers here thought the Hawaiian Bud & Bloom may have been to hot a mixture for the girls. I had my doubts also but, it seems to have worked out very well.
These plant are 200 days old.
