So I'm getting ready to start feeding bloom nutrients next week and I'm not sure if I should start w/ half strength or 1/4 strength???

Here what I plant on using and schedule

Ak47 xtrm plants in soil (roots organic 707)

Advanced sensi bloom a and b
Bud candy
Big bud
Over drive
Bud X factor
Also I have a big bottle of Mother Earth tea as well

So I was thinking feed water feed water; which is what I did in veg,
And on the 2nd feeding adding Mother Earth @ 1/3 strength w/ my other nutes but only once a week ...
In using R/O water -and I know over drive is for last 2 weeks only

It is quality stuff I just wouldn't buy a whole "line" or "package" or whatever they call it I just grabbed a few things I needed/wanted and then I got the X factor for free

7 products sounds like a line to me.

all hating aside. if i were going to use that many bottles (I wouldnt) then i would use an EC meter to measure feeding concentrations. Afterall, what is "1/4 strength"? 1/4 strength of seven bottles is going to be a hell of a lot stronger than "1/4 strength" of one or two bottles.

The best advice that anyone can give you is to keep it simple. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Cannabis is a plant like any other, and your mom can grow tomatoes in the backyard just fine without seven bottles of designer fertilizer.

Ya I mean if I use the a and b it's a 2 part fert , bud candy is basically mollasses or does a similar thing ...the tea and X factor were given to me .. So I guess I'll skip the tea use a and b bud candy and big bud and finish w over drive .... A line has like all this stuff minus the tea plus like 4 other things ... Ya I have an ec meter my veg feeding were around 600 or so r/o water w 200 ppm cal mag

I am.usually up to 1/2 strength base nutrients by flower time. You should transition instead of switching over completely. So start blooming with a half strength dose....but make that from half grow and half bloom base nutrients. Then make your next feeding half strength also but all bloom. You can also do feed, feed, water. Im sure she can take it from bloom to flush.

always do small amount and see how your plants react if you feel you can give more give it more on next feeding me personally I feed them water next time with plain water it works decently. rule of thumb with cannabis that I've learned start small n work up
