A little help Please

[watergirl]

The soil in my garden was pretty crappy so I added a little Miracle grow soil when I planted my girls about 2 weeks ago the girls are about 1 - 1.5 feet tall. Will this work and when & what should I feed Them?

the MG was a good call, you wont have to put nutrients in the soil for a month or two what i would do if i were you, is get a bag of sphagnum peat moss, and make about an inch deep layer of it across your plot, taking care not to push or tamp it down too much.. this will hold alot more water.. when the time comes to fertilize, use something high in phosphate.. which is the second number in the NPK.. when you pick up fertilizer and read it, itll have three numbers on it, lets say 3-4-5 for the hell of it.. this stage you want something high in the second number.. theres no real way to tell you exactly what number to get, but if the second number is higher than the other two then youre good to go.. when you start getting buds, switch to something high in nitrogen, nitrogen is the first number.. but with the MG soil you wont have to worry about that for prolly a month.. just be careful, and follow the directions on the fertilizer cuz its easy to burn a weed plant with nutes.. have a happy grow watergirl

Couple of things- mulching w/ peat moss will drive your soill pH down over time.

You want to cut way down or eliminate N during flowering, not add more.

if they are growing good and look healthy I wouldnt fertilize right now, and you would normally use a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen right now or during the veg state and switch to a flowering fertilizer when they start to bud they do not need alot of nitrogen during flowering.

what is it that you want to use during flowering?
