Hello fine people.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to growing and have a question about Nutrients. From my youtube guides it says I should use fertlizer with 20-15-15 during growth and 15-20-15 during flowering.
Problem is I can't find anything close to that. For growing I find 4-2-2 here and for flowering I find 2-2-4 , general purpose fertilizer here has 7-1-5.
The guides I see use powder they mix into water, while what I find is already liqiud, is that why its so much lower? Coz it has already been watered out some?
I have ordered a bottle of VitaLink earth bloom for the flowering stage. Is it usable? its only NPK 2-2-4. I also bought some 0-20-0 pellets at the farmers shop I mixed into new soil and transplanted the plants for blooming.
Reason I transplanted to new soil before blooming is the plants showed sign of nutrient burns, I've been using the 7-1-5 during growth and I saw it has 31 grams of salt per 100 ml, thats like 31% salt (Jeez). But it just need 1/4 of a bottlecap per liter water, so they haven't gotten 31 grams of salt tough.
I've pretty much done every mistake in the book so far, but I've learned so much for next time.
I also broke off some roots during transplant, Is there anything I can do to encourage root regen? Like water more? Spray water with nutrients directly on the leaves?
