Iā??m kinda ashamed, but there was a reason I was vague on the nutrient amounts. For about the last year I have been eyeballing the nutrients on my dirt plants. Basically when I was feeding about every other watering I was shooting for full strength, meaning what my hydro plants were being fed. For the AKs this was maybe 1400 in veg and 1650 in the latter part of flowering. Iā??ve been using Supernatural food and perhaps some Liquid Karma, but in bloom their budding food is mixed about half with Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching, depending on how far along they are. For Supernatural, 1.5 teaspoons per 4 liters will make about 1000 PPM. To make it worse, I donā??t think that was quite enough, since Iā??ve been more than halving the amount for twice as many feedings as would seem logical.

I havenā??t noticed a difference really, now that Iā??m feeding with each watering. This is the first soil grow where Iā??ve flowered either variety in my real flowering section, under good light. The experiment has mostly been in my mother/youngster area, which of course has always been in the veg stage. The only thing I have to compare to for flowering is hydro plants, which has been very similar, except for the additional yellowing on the AK, which could be for any number of other reasons. For example, I havenā??t foliar fed once this grow. So basically what Iā??m saying is all this info Iā??ve provided is just a waste of time, and Iā??m sorry. Or not, maybe somebody can get something out of it.
