Bought sensi bloom A&B by mistake. Plant is in vegetative state. ? Can it be used now or wait until bloom stage ? And if I cant afford two more bottles of sensi grow what is a cheap alternative? I noticed because the bottles on the sensi bloom A&B both had the same watering directions for weeks 1-6 of the bloom stage, which leads me to believe A&B are administered at the same time for the bloom ?

Sensi Bloom can be used for both veg and flower. It actually has more N than Sensi Grow.
Sensi Grow A is 3-0-0 and B 1-2-6.
Sensi Bloom A is 3-0-0 and B 2-4-8.

All of these grows were done with Sensi Bloom start to finish.

Hi thanks for the feeding tip. If I can ask you a few things, do I start adding the carboload during the veg stage and overdrive during bloom? This is my first grow. I used the pro mix ultimate organic mixed with about 1/4 vermiculite. The plant is around 50 days from seed. I have been watering around every 3 days ,waiting until soil feels dry or pot is light about a gallon of bottled water (ph around 7.2) . I've been adding sensi bloom A&B to my water every time I feed at about 80% from the chart. Did my first run off yesterday with A gal of untreated and a gal of treated water. Just using the test strips it looked like the run off was high 5 low 6s. Should I worry about ph since I'm using the ph perfect sensi bloom and bottled water? How often should you flush plants indoors? Thanks for your help.

You can use carboload all throughout the grow. Overdrive is for the last two weeks only. If you made it this far without having any pH related issues then you should be good to go. I wouldn't bother checking the pH. I've seen a lot of forum folks that have insisted on checking their pH while using AN products and those folks drive themselves crazy. Those of us that don't check seem to have no issues. I grow in hydro and only flush for the last two days. As for flushing in soil, there are too many varied opinions on the subject. Although, the feed schedule posted above says plain water for the last 10 days.

Thanks, your right you can drive yourself crazy reading some of this shit on the forums. Everyone's got an opinion and you know what they say. One more question and I'm sorry to be a pain, but I'm a sixty year old guy who's growing for the first time and your replies made the most sense to me. I've tried to take a few clones and am trying to clone the top. Plus I started 3 white widow plants in the last couple weeks. Not thinking about the bloom light schedule. Can I just keep the main plant in the veg state until the others are ready for the 12/12 cycle so I don't have to have two grow tents? It's pretty bushy and small about 2 1/2 '. Should I just top it again when it gets taller?

Yes, you can do that. If it's safe to do so, you can keep your mother/donor under any kind of lamp. As long as it gets 18+ hours a day you should be all set.

Currently using 600w mars hydro over head, and 6 sunblaster cfls on the side and over the seedlings. I will have to enlarge my grow room and add lights if everything takes.

Just a little confused with the watering. Been watering 2-3 times weekly. About a gallon with sensi bloom A&B, carboload, and a little cal mag. PH 5.6 with nutrients. Then add about 2 liters of untreated water. PH 6.5 without nutrients. I have done one half ass run off maybe 20% just to make sure there was good drainage. Big mess inside. Since I'm growing in pro mix and it's considered a soiless mix, should I be worried about nutrient burn or other root problems? I Do the whole lift the pot wait until the top is pretty dry. Fan leaves seem to weigh down other leaves so it looks a little droopy., but the color is great and main and branches are strong. Don't know if I should add more water when I do water because I do not get hardly any run off with almost a gallon and a half of water, but the soil dries pretty quick. At least on top

If you click on that user’s name, itl show you that they haven’t been active here since November of 2020. A lot of users come for some help and then disappear, instead of sticking around.
That's lame. I have learned so much from these posts in the last month, it's unbelievable. Right now I can only help people by NOT giving advice but I imagine one day I'll have something worth sharing.

It’s just the way forums tend to operate, some people are drifters, some stick around. There is so much grow knowledge and cool strain history here. O well ‍♂
Do you have any experience with the pH perfect Sensi? I'm in my first grow and I've started with two in soil and a few in coir. I was using canna nutrients but was having issues with deficiency and Burns it seemed like ph was off. I switched to the Sensi stuff about 5 days ago and I think everything's looking good again. I kept it a couple of my girls on Canna and am running them side by side with the ones receiving Ph Perfect Sensi. But I can tell you right now this morning I discovered a nutrient supplier called crop salts that I'm without a doubt going to purchase and give a shot with the Barney's Glookies that's on the way.
