Now, it all comes down to a personal pref. for what kind of food you want to use, you'll have to fine tune it. But that is what I use. You could go with something like 10-0-5 or something along those lines. When you first start giving your plant its food, I suggest starting at a very low dose at first. You'll have to read the mixing instructions on the packaging when you have it, but what it suggests for feeding, start with 1/4 strength, then slowly, but surely, start boosting it every few feedings or so. 1/4-1/2-3/4-4/4(full) That's how I do it anyways. I feel it is better to give the plant less food than too much. You give it too much, you'll burn up your plant, slowing growth, and cutting yeilds big time.

When it comes to brands, you can use any kind you want. MG is okay if you just want to start learning and all, but when you start getting into it, stay away from it. It's nasty stuff and is not really made for growing the sticky stuff. It will work, but not to its full potential like other ferts. Try and get a liquid fert at first. If you get a crystal or powder fert, you may risk burning your plant up. But if you cannot find a liquid food, no big deal. You just have to be very careful using crystal/powder food so early in its life.

Any food can cause burning if overfed. Like I said, it's better to give to little than too much. You must be cautious at feeding at first. You don't want your plant to start out shitty, or the outcome will be shitty. Hope this helped. peace.

Hey thanks that did help me a lot really. I'll go to walmart and see what they have to offer. i'll do what you said and start off low strength and then work up to a higher fert. And I'll also give it a little less than what is suggested so I don't burn them. I wouldn't like to burn them... Do the plants become more potent if you keep them in the veg stage for longer? Like, because they're in veg and continue to be in veg for so long they produce more THC?
Cam Reviewed by Cam on . I don't want them to die! Whats wrong? Over night, the ends of the leaves turned yellow. WHATS WRONG!? I moved the lights further away. Will this fix the problem? Rating: 5
