Boost Nitrogen? HOW? HELPPPP

[KambleFrost]

Hey hey heyyyyy
(It’s faaaaaat Albert)

okay for real though,finally had someone educated my uncultured ass on how to calculate my NPK properly
(And no it’s not add them all together like I thought)

currently I’m looking at an NPK of 2-2-3
With everything I’m feeding.
Which is quite a bit tbh...


nevertheless I’m seeing that I need to raise my Nitrogen a bit more and possibly lower my phosphorus a tiny bit.
I’ve had a lot of issues with yellowing leaves at the bottom of my plants and I think it’s because my N is slightly too low.
How can I JUST boost the nitrogen in my grow?

Add a cup or so of earthworm castings to your soil.

What nute line are you using for the base? It's all about the ratios. You can slightly bump up the grow and slightly reduce the bloom.

I heard blood meal is best 12-0-0
But I use PromixBX with synthetic nutes
Shouldn’t I not mix?

That’s what I read too, but I can’t seem to find the happy medium
I’m issuing the following
FloraTrio (micro/grow/bloom)
Humid acid
Thrive
Recharge
CalMag

I wouldn't mix it dry(worm castings), But yeah for sure 12 for nitrogen will boost it good.
What you could do is make a compost tea with the blood meal or the worm castings. Can get a bag for like 2 bucks

Blood meal is hot.

And why bother with organics if you're gonna use chemicals?

Blood meal is 12-0-0
But if I too dress with like a tsp then feed on top will that not boost the N safely?

I want to use chemicals and have been since I started
My concern is getting an N booster as my NPK is slightly low for N
Most boosters for nitrogen are organic feet’s like blood meal
So I’d prefer a synthetic booster but can’t find anything.

I'd rather do a tea than top dress, and use some recharge for the mycorrhiza

I use a ton of organic amendments, but blood meal isn't actually one of them.

If you're using the GH nutes and chems anyways, I don't know why you don't just use those for N.

I am using it for N but my NPK ratio between everything I’m using is slightly low for N
Can I just add a few extra ML of Micro for that boost in N?

I use GH Flora and Calmag+, easy weed, humic/fulvic, and silica.

In full veg I do per gallon h2o approx: 12mL grow, 10mL micro, 5mL bloom, 5mL Calmag+, 1/8 tsp easy weed, 1/8 tsp humic/fulvic, 1/8 tsp silica. ph down to between 6 and 6.3 with white vinegar, lemon or lime juice. PPM is between 1000 and 1200, using tap water.

I never worked out the numbers, but the girls seem to like it.

Gro - 2:1:6
Micro - 5:0:1
Bloom - 0:5:4

If you follow the schedule on the back of the bottle - you'll be adding 2 Tsp of Micro to every feeding through most of your grow.
If you need more, might start there - .5 Tsp increments.

I'm using the Flora Trio in FFOF and actually having a bit of N tox in my Herijuana - Kush strain is fine.
N tox is going away by not adding Micro to the last 2 feedings.
Probably cut Micro to 1 Tsp for that strain moving forward.

That's bodacious bra.

Seriously gnarly info. I just learned something. I had no idea that Micro had all that N. I have the trio and some coco to mess around with sometime when I get bored.

I hope nobody thinks I'm talking shit to @Lockedin. He's a ruler on his surfboard. I was impressed. Mad skills.
