I'm planning on doing a 12/12 from seed grow, but I'm not sure what sort of nutrient regime I should use? Would I need to use veg nutes or just flowering nutes? Using a DWC/bubbleponics system.
Any suggestions or advice would be great, cheers!!bongsmilie

even on 12/12 itll still veg for a couple weeks, wont actually start to flower till about 3wks or later so use the veg nutes till you see the preflowers.

Yeah, like half str. Better yet a 1/4 str. Even. I was just thinking. I would keep it even and not go over 5 N in terms of NPK. Like 4-4-4. Then when sex shows switch to like 3-8-6 then 3-10-8 then like that with a topdress of guano or adding another bloom P and K stim to your nutirents. They can take it as long as you dont go over 20 or so and you build up with one feed or so.

But yeah I would def stay under 5 Nitrogen. In fact maybe a 2 or 3 would be better. Also you will want your plant prepped with P and K so that is the reason for the even fert.

Nah mate, not west, the big V mate!bongsmilieI would probably already be at full strength by week 3 in a normal grow, so I might try 1/4 strength till preflowers or make my own mixture with canna nutes selection. Cheers bro!:eyesmoke:

Well I think I'll try 1/4 strength until preflowers, & then try a 1/2 strength flower nute & PK 13-14 at 1/2 strength to. Thanks for your useful input bro!!bongsmilie
