I've got a trip to the grow store planned out and am looking for some advice on nutrients. Currently vegging but flipping the lights this week.
I'm growing in soil with some worm castings, perlite, vermiculite and coco.
Plants are mostly photos / indica predominant. And two fun little autos. I've read the great stickies on the subject but most of the products aren't available where I am.
I started with some guano based stuff- but it wasn't getting the job done. The grow formula is 10-10-0 and the bloom is 1-9-1. Have been feeding the two autos with the bloom for now.
Local garden center had all purpose one that is (NPK analysis: 6.2:3:10) and that is what I've been using for the last two feedings for the girls in veg.
Lot's of folks seem to love the GH Flora Nova Grow 2 7-4-10 and I can get that, but growing is almost over for this round.
I read mixed reviews about GH Flora Nova Bloom- @ 4-8-7.
These are the all in one formulas- the 3 part isn't available here.
The more targeted "bud" products are listed at
Grow: N.P.K 28.5.30
Bloom: N.P.K 20.5.30 or super strength N.P.K 30.30.70
I did find a multipart that has the following:
Grow 1 (NPK 12-0-12) provides nitrate nitrogen, potassium, and calcium
Grow 2 (NPK 15-0-12) provides ammoniacal nitrogen, potassium and calcium.
Bloom 3 (NPK 6-12-17) is lower in nitrogen and has higher proportions of phosphorus and potassium.
Micro Base (NPK 30-10-19) contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and the micro nutrients you will need in your recipes.
And last choice is known as CS17 from Botanicare in the US. They seem to have both a hydro and a soil type. I think the stuff I can get is the hydro one, so not sure how that will go in soil.
CNS17 Hydroponics Grow Formula 3-2-4
CNS17 Hydroponics Bloom Formula 2-2-5
CNS17 Coco and Soil Grow Formula 3-1-2
CNS17 Coco and Soil Bloom Formula 2-2-3
I know that the P-K need to be higher in blooming- but how much? And what ratios does our wonderful plant like best?
How important is it to use nutrients from the same line?
What other advice would you share with a newbie so that I don't end up with a shelf full of stuff I don't need?
Thx as always
