Blood meal is a big one, but besides that it looks like you got it down pretty good. Never tried oyster shells but have heard they are great thing to add. That mix should work perfectly fine but here's a general feeding schedule that will yield the best results:hey, new member and new grower here. My white widow seedlings are doing pretty good and I want them to continue to do good, they are in keg cups now awaiting transplant into five gal pots, the pots will contain an uneducated random mix of crap I read and didn't really measure lol, one bail of pro mix, which is four small bags, one brick coco Coir, going to add compost I will be getting from a mushroom farmer one 20 lb bag of worm castings one big handful of fish bone meal, one sandwich bag full of soya meal, this has all been sitting on a tarp for a week and seedlings are going into it tomorrow, I have access to oyster shell that I would have to crush down because its pellet size should I add?? any thing els I can add that won't burn or fuck up my plants would be greatly appreciated, I know I will have to add nutes along the way for vegging so please point me in the right direction thanks
Hey appreciate the feedback, thanks man. I was going to add blood meal in but did not because of the lack of time I have to cook the soil should I add a very little amount to soil at the bottom of pots and roots will adventually reach it? Or just forget about it and feed through water when I need toBlood meal is a big one, but besides that it looks like you got it down pretty good. Never tried oyster shells but have heard they are great thing to add. That mix should work perfectly fine but here's a general feeding schedule that will yield the best results:
VEGETATION:
Seedling 2-1-2 40-20-40%
Early Vegetative 4-2-3 44-22-33%
Mid-Vegetative 10-5-7 45-23-32%
FLOWERING:
Cycle Changeover 7-7-7 33-33-33%
Early Flowering 5-10-7 23-45-32%
Mid-Flowering 6-15-10 20-48-32%
Late Flowering 4-10-7 20-47-33%
And here are some additional nutrients that can result in better results:
Calcium is used by plants in cell membranes, at their growing points and to neutralize toxic materials. In addition, calcium improves soil structure and helps bind organic and inorganic particles together.
Magnesium is the only metallic component of chlorophyll. Without it, plants can't process sunlight.
Sulfur is a component of many proteins.
Finally, there are eight elements that plants need in tiny amounts. These are called micronutrients and include boron, copper and iron. Healthy soil that is high in organic matter usually contains adequate amounts of each of these micronutrients.
Do some research to find out more but this is all, if not more than you need to know to get your nutrients perfect
And your plants look super healthy (y)Hey man plants look great and I can't disagree with your soil choice. I've always went organic mainly promix with worm castings, bat guano and my own organic fertilizer. My only suggestion is to not transplant into 5 gallons yet. The route I always go is solo cup-1 gallon-3 gallon.
the reason I suggest this is to regulate the amount of water the roots will uptake and have sitting around them. If you transplant into a 5 gallon and water until 20-30%run off you'd have to use quite a bit of h20 and your roots and soil will take longer to dry out for your next watering. You could water more frequent with less water I suppose but I've always found transplanting more often into smaller pots gradually has yielded the best results for me. Everyone is different. I have just transferred mine from solo cups to 1 gallons and they are taking off like crazy.
best of luck to you and happy growing. Cheers
Yea you can add to bottom of pot, I personally wouldn't worry too much about it cooking but idk... by the time the roots reach it tho it should be done cookingHey appreciate the feedback, thanks man.
