i opened this thread to get an ultimate perpective on nutes, not so much on brands because as ive noticed there is people on here from all over the world and alot of the brands arnt available in all our home towns.

i am starting my first grow in soil and looking for more info on NPK values ive read abit on the plants wanting more nitrogen in veg state and cutting nitrogen in flower state and adding more potassium and phospherous.

at mo i have babybio nutes N-10.6 P-1.9 k-1.4 which i presume is ok for vegging.

just wondering what other people go with and what they think works best.

those levels seem about right, typically you want a vegging nute that has a 2-1 ratio of nitrogen. My grow nutes are 12-6-6. For bloom you want ferts with a 2-1 ratio of phosphorus, I use 5-10-5.

thanks man thats sound :mrgreen:

everyone post your nutes on here, searched for a post like this but they seem to veer off course, lets keep this nutes.
bit of a confusing area for newbies considering how important they seem to be for maximum yield.

i use fish emulsion. i like using this number one cause its organic and all i use all organics. plus they sell this att local stores such as wal mart lowes and home depot. they have the alaska brand fish fertelizer wich is 5-0-0 and the alaska fish fert for flowering is called alaska morbloom 0-10-10. they give me fat crystaly buds!!

being from england we dnt have walmart and lowes and things like that allthough im sure i could pick some of this stuff up at a garden centre, sounds interesting, heard of it but not thought much of it.

so u add no P or K during the veg state is that not important or is it not neccesery??

no my mistake. the veg cycle fish emulsion is actully 5-1-1 but the flowering cycle emulsion has no nitrogen but you dont need N during flower
