Plus when I use the plant food how do I use it?

The recommended strength is 1/4 tsp per gallon.

It looks OK to me, but there are others here who know ferts better than me. No matter what you use though, never start out full strength. Always start out at 1/4 strength, wait a week, then go 1/2 if there or NO browning leaf tips. Again wait a week before feeding to see if there are any burned tips, if not, then go to 3/4 strength...you get the idea.

Too many people seem to think that if ya don't give weed a BUNCH of fancy nutes, it won't grow. Then they post on here sooner or later " help, whats wrong with my plant".
Remember, nutes only HELP a plant reach it's potential, they don't force it to, or make it happen faster. My point is, give your plants just a little love, don't love them to death--literally.
If you really pay close attention to your plants, and do all the necessary reading, your plants themselves will tell you what they need.
Good luck!

it sounds like a good fert to use.. but im not to familiar with liquid ferts... i use ground spikes 13-4-5 with slow release formula. It has 13% Nitrogen; 2% Nitrate Nitrogen, 2% Urea Nitrogen, 2% Other Water Soluble Nitrogen, and 7% Water Insoluble.. 4% Phosphate and 5% Soluble Potash It was derived from: Ureaform, Triple Superphosphate, Potassium Nitrate, and not more than .2% Chlorine... I'm not a expert at this but weed is a weed, it can grow in some hardy conditions, the worst harvest you could get is schwag... but if you know what you're doin it shouldn't be any worse than high mids when grown indoors

that sounds like a bunch of nitrogen to me for cannibas! I am no expert by any means when it comes to ferts, but I use Fox Farms ( a highly recommended brand etc) and it's 6-4-4 If you want to see plants grown with it look here at my post:

I may be wrong and please someone correct me if I am, but I think that it should be a bit more balanced. Yes more N for vegetative growth but I would suspect that you would be giving it too much N. As I have said I am not sure but I do know that nute and ph problems is the leading cause to these "help what's wrong with my plants" posts. I was one of them long ago
Fox Farms also has micro nutes. I would say just ask around and maybe try getting a brand that you know is recommended and that works. FF isn't too expensive and be found at your local hydro shop.
Good luck,
