I will focus mostly on pure hydroponics nutrients on this page, but there are some important differences between soil and hydro nutrients that are necessary to understand before purchasing your fertilizer. There are a lot of factors that will affect your decision, including Whether you are growing in hydroponics or soil, your budget, your experience level, and the amount of time and effort you want to put into customizing your system. In this article I am going to go over the basics that you need to know in order to choose the right nutrients for your grow op. The right nutrients for weed, mixed in the right proportions, can make or break your grow and will greatly affect the quality and quantity of your bud. Ph’ing is really necessary for hydro not potting soil so much.Hydroponic nutrients are one of the most important purchases you will make for your cannabis grow operation. And I only check new mixes before planting to be sure the lime is activated and correct. I haven’t adjusted the ph in 3 years now of successful perpetual growing. My problems went away when I learned about alkalinity and stopped adding acid to get to 6.3-6.5 ph. Even excessive will also help clear calcium buildup from soil. By mixing tap with ro water to lower if hard water. It is generally suggested to mix up or down to achieve this mineral content. Too soft water may need cal mag or at least have it in the fertilizer. It builds up.īut normal tap water around 200 ppm or less will be adjusted automatically by the lime or oyster shell in the soil mix. It will raise the ph of the medium over time as it is like pouring a little lime in every time. It’s not the ph in water to worry about but the alkalinity. They will get all they need for the soil. Or when you start to see plant leaves yellowing on lower bottom growth.įF can be rough on seedlings but once established they can go into FF but for 1st 3 weeks don't feed them. If you stay with FF use light warrior for your starts then uppot to FF ocean forest but hold back on feeding anything but water for the 1st 3 weeks. Try lowering and keeping your feed water at 6.3 and wait a week or so. Cannabis thrives in slightly acidic soil at 6.8 you are leaning towards a neutral of 7.0. But at 6.8 your locking out vital nutes at this level. Sometimes even 6.5 will work well, strain dependent. In addition your not in a perfect range for soil. They will get all they need from the soil. So back to my question, were you also feeding the plants during veg?įF can be rough on seedlings but once established they can go into FF but for 1st 3 weeks don't feed them. FF alone will sustain vigorous growth for 2-3 weeks with out any additional inputs. Where most folks run into problems with claiming FF soil is (too hot) is cause they are also feeding ferts while in fresh FF soil. View attachment 837389ġst you didn't mention, were you feeding those 2-3 weeks in veg,? meaning ferts while in FF soil. Started fertilizing about 4 weeks after sprout at 15% of directions and tapered back down when the pistols started turning orange as they don’t need much to ripen.
BLUE PLANET NUTRIENTS DELUXE KIT PRO
She was fed only pure Blend Pro Grow at max 50% of directions.
She yielded 1.75 oz dry and is in a #1 nursery pot of ocean forest and 25% large perlite mixed in. She vegged 3-4 weeks before flowering and bloomed 10 weeks.
A small pot just requires more often watering and will build up salt blockage faster than a large one. Try to start at 15-25% max and work up slowly next time.įor now leach the soil with a half gallon or so of fresh water only and let her dry out real good before transplanting or lightly fertilizing. I think in 3 weeks in a 1 gallon the nutrients in the soil were depleted and the plant had a potassium deficiency and maybe mag.įull strength nutes are usually 3-4 times too strong for a young plant for the first fertilizing.
