Ferts Ferts Ferts = A Question = Please Answere (:

[blizma]

Hallo.

I was wondering.

If I used e.g. Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic Potting Soil

would I need to use ferts for veg?

And if I need veg + flowering ferts, could I use normal ferts they would give me at a hydro shop/local garden centre?


Thanks Thanks If you answere

Of course you always have to constantly feed your plants food. If they are in a pot eventually in their life they are gonna use up all the nutes in the pot and your gonna have to replinish them. I'm not sure about your second question though, I dont quite understand it.

2nd question :

12-0-0 for veg

20-20-20 for flower

[blizma]

Basicly it means this :


Will ferts from an ordinary garden centre or hydro shop labled VEGITATION or FLOWERING work ok for my upcomming plants?

I use 20-20-20 for veg and 5-50-17 for flowering. Both are
Peters brand 1/4 a teaspoon to a galon.

I got mine at my local garden center its a little
mom and pop shop. I am sure they are in any
retail store in the garden center. Just look at
the guaranteed analysis on the container for
the N-P-K levels (N-P-K are your numbers
like 20-20-20 which represent the nitrogen(N)
phosphorus(P) and potassium(K) levels)
