12/12 from seed, what nutes?

Iron Lungz23 · May 19, 2009

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

I am doing a 12/12 from seed and I am giving them veg nutrients (when ready) until they show sex, then giving them bloom food.

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.

go easy on the N tho, too much and they wont flower. I ruined some lr2 that way

So what do u reckon dirt, half strength veg nutes till pre flowers? Oh yeah plus rep!!

guess youre over west if youre up at this time of day eh

never done hydro but gather you wouldnt be at full strength by the time it shows sex anyway

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! bongsmilie

I 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
