I would start these new outdoor ladies on a light feeding program. You're using organics. :thumbsup:, good choice! Are your plants flowering yet? Or are they still vegging?

If they are still vegging, the plant thrives on a high N number (N-P-K). I used Fish Emulsion 5-1-1. 2-3-1 isn't probably the best, but it will work until you find a suitable fert.

If they are flowering, the plant thrives big time on high P. Numbers like 15-30-15, or 10-15-10. I use bat guano 0-10-0 for flowering, then during the last 2 weeks, I use a bloom fert at 10-52-10, then I flush for 2 weeks, then cut.

Don't overfeed. Vegging stage is very important for the outcome of the flowering stage. Feed lightly for once a week. I recommend using only 1/2 the strengh indicated on the bottle of fert., then feed once a week. If the plant shows any sing of a def., then boost it up to full, but I find it's better to underfeed, than overfeed. Overfeeding really fucks up the works, slows things down, and cuts down yeilds.

Are your plants yellowing up, drying up (the leaves)? If not, I wouldn't even worry about the epsom salt. Why fix something that isn't broken, you know.

Yes, using organics, you can feed too much. The things about organic nutes, are they are slower acting than chems., so it takes longer to see any change in the plants life to know if you';re overfeeding. The damage isn't as bad as a bad chem. overfeed though, but the plants progress will slow down.

Good luck.
Nochowderforyou Reviewed by Nochowderforyou on . A couple of quick questions. I have a few questions.. Any info is greatly appreciated. Ok, I have a few plants growing outdoors in 3 and 5 gallon buckets. I only check on them when necessary. I haven't used any nutes except superthrive and fish/seaweed fertilizer. I have only used the fish/seaweed fert one time so far. All plants are at least 3 feet tall or taller. All from bag seed. Sativa and Indica. They were started indoors in front of a window as soon as danger of frost was gone, but didn't get them transplanted Rating: 5
