In the future, this is what I'd do- if you have to go out of town, make up a big jug of the most MINIMAL mix you'd use. Not the base fert though- chemicals can interact badly in solution. You can always resume fertilizing when you get home, and it's not going to make a big difference in yield to miss ~2 feedings. On the times I've had to leave the plants with a sitter, I've left jugs of nothing but tap water, calmag, and a little molasses. The calmag and molasses don't interact significantly. That way no well-intentioned friend can screw up my crop!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Friend may have ruined 3 plants.... OK, heres the situation: Went away for a few days and asked my friend (who knows whats going on) to water and feed, once each, while I was away. Watering - went fine I'm assuming Feeding - Told him 3 plants to the right in the box were on week 8 and to just follow the FF feeding regimine....I should have been more precise in words chosen and said week 8 of flowering. He fed them as if they were in week 4 of flowering, not week 8:( Now they got a nice dose of Grow Big and Beastie Rating: 5
