Hi people, I thought it had been longer since I switched to 12/12 (I should have wrote the day down) and have fed the plants with pk 9/18 and flower burst alongside a & b will this be too much?
Thanks
Thanks
Used pk918 two weeks into flower

That depends on the strength you fed it at.
Most base nutrients are usually all that’s required to grow healthy happy plants and more often than not additional supplements lead to fried crispy plants due to user error.

Not according to their marketing literature.
"As you might expect, this produces much larger effects like denser crops and bigger yields by up to 40% with exceptional aromatic and essential oil content."
"Expect 40% higher yields from this uniquely potent bloom booster!"

This is what makes me laugh about marketing of products. Lol.Not according to their marketing literature.

get 40% bigger yields for this low low price of £100 a litre!
for approx 140g of dry salts (worth £3) mixed into water.

@Chrisjames47 the user @xtsho was being sarcastic about the marketing blurb!

Thanks for the reply
Yea I just use half strength for everything, the leaves look OK at the minute though.

Did you use half strength on everything before with your first grow that you had to use SMC with?
because Your previous grow no offence looked like shit.
Have you got any pics of your plants so that we can help to guide you on what you’re doing?
Have you sorted out the issues that gave you bud rot last time aswell?

14g dissolved of MKP monopotassium phosphate into 100ml of water creates a PK booster better than most can buy over the counter for about £0.56p
used at 1ml per litre increases EC by 0.15.

You don't need PK 9/18 or the Flower Burst. Why do you think dumping large amounts of phosphorus and potassium on your plants is good for them? You would be better off not wasting your money on products that claim 40% increase in yields. Those claims are pure bullshit. I haven't been able to track down a label for that crap but chances are it's just monopotassium phosphate and potassium sulfate. Maybe some potassium silicate.
Too much of any one nutrient can cause nutrient antagonism and deficiencies despite feeding more than the plants need. That can lead to crispy fried plants that look like a bucket of KFC like your last grow.

Top leaves going brown and crispy ??
Hi people , I am about 9 weeks into flower and some of the top leaves started to go brown a few weeks ago and now they are dry and crispy looking like they are ready to fall off, the temperature is usually between 27°c - 32°c and the humidity usually between 35% - 40%, I also checked the pH of...

And you can buy a pound of MKP for $10. Enough to make gallons and gallons of the overpriced snake oil bullshit. I so despise the cannabis nutrient industry and all these scammers selling their garbage that more often than not does more harm than good.

I paid £2.99 for 100g and was happy with that amount of MKP for the price.
versus the £65 per litre for the “explode” version my nutrient brand put out lol.

Some people don't bother reading labels. If they did they wouldn't be paying insane amounts for a bottle of cheap salts dissolved in water.

As you may or may not remember I’ve only just started to add MKP into my regime.
so far I’m at day 34 of 12-12 on this scrog grow and used it at 0.5ml per litre of my concentration mix for 1 week last week to test any ill effects.
will most likely use it again in about 14 days time at 1ml per litre of my concentrated mix.

Thanks for the honest input I'd prefer that, on my last grow which was my first I used 75% strength and only had small fans inside the tent for circulating air I had no intake
Thanks for the honest input I prefer that, on my last grow which was my 1st I used 75% strength with everything and now I am using half strength and now I have a bigger fan to circulate the air inside the tent, I still have no intake fan just an extraction fan I just rely on negative pressure to exchange air the humidity has been low throughout the whole grow (around 25%)I know its too low I bought a humidifier but it won't fit from the mains socket into the tent. I had the light on 400 until 1 week into flower and now it's on 600 , I have been feeding once every 2-3 days untill runoff. The plants are bit stretched aswell I have had the light around 1 foot away from taller plants and 3 foot away from smallest plants I will upload 2 pics for now one is of a leaf which I noticed had some holes in it would you know what they are by any chance?
Thanks I appreciate your time

Thanks for the honest reply, OK would you say just stick with a & b, and I don't know if I mentioned I also put half stenght of moonshine in the feed aswell.
jondamon
Well-Known Member
Wtf is moonshine?
Here’s everything that I use.
A/B Dutch pro hydro coco
Epsom salts
Calmag
Monotpotassium phosphate
pH down.
That’s a very crowded tent and you’re barely flowering yet!
You also haven’t mentioned what they’re growing in? Soil? Coco? Hydro etc?
what’s your environment consist of?
Any other circulation fans besides that floor standing one?
