I got some nice nls going but I think it was just beginners luck. 10 day flower. and I'm noticing an N def and trying to figure out if it's a def or lockout or my bennies aren't working.
Imvho thats overdoing it in soil. Even if you started with (lets say 1 bale) of pro-mix or sunshine mix. It's been my experiance that adding too much stuff like the above post can cause nute lockouts or excess salts to build up. Sometimes its best to start with as minimal amendments as possible and let the plants tell you what they need to thrive. I am NOT arguing or saying i know whats best, just giving my experiance so far. I wanna be part of the solution here not the problem..
you grow organically? if so I'm interested in your recipe then. I'm all for learning and trying new stuff. new recipes. and trial and error.
you grow organically? super soils or feed schedule?
No organics for me, unless it outside in the veggie garden. I always recommend Ionic bloom from start to finish. It's one part and does a great job. They have a pk boost if your into that. Super easy with great results. Pretty sure that's what everyone wants.
I know this post is super old but I had some questions...Hello Waiakeauka. I'm not sure if this will help you or not but i found this on another website and it made sense to me -
Cannabis requires a 1:2 ratio of P to K throughout all stages of it's growth.
It's worth stating for the record the actual ratios of N, P and K that cannabis requires through it's life cycle:
Vegetative Stage
N - P - K
3 - 1 - 2
Flowering Stage
N - P - K
1 - 1 - 2
Final Flowering Stage
N - P - K
0 - 1 - 2
To translate this into a 12 week schedule for a typical Skunk type such as Cheese or Psychosis would give something along these lines:
Veg week 1: 3 - 1 - 2
Veg week 2: 3 - 1 - 2
Flo week 1 : 3 - 1 - 2
Flo week 2 : 3 - 1 - 2
Flo week 3 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 4 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 5 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 6 : 1 - 1 - 2
Flo week 7 : 0 - 1 - 2
Flo week 8 : 0 - 1 - 2
Flo week 9 : 0 - 0 - 0
Flo week 10: 0 - 0 - 0
This schedule reduces the Nitrogen two weeks into the 12/12 period which will assist in stopping the vertical growth (stretch). It cuts out all Nitrogen after 6 weeks which will result in a less leafy, smoother burning end product with greater density to the flowers. The last two weeks of plain water is sufficient to leach out all accumulated salts and give a clean end product. Three week flush as advocated by some really isn't necessary if the Nitrogen is cut out after 6 weeks. The people using a three week flush tend to use Canna nutes which have too much N in them for late flowering and this is why they get a benefit from flushing for three weeks.
Hope that makes sense. Despite all the crap the nute companies fill our heads with about the need for all kinds of fancy bottles, you really don't need any of them. Cannabis is a simple plant, a weed in fact, and all it needs is the correct NPK at the correct time plus a full range of trace elements, that is hard fact and no amount of BS an marketing from the nute companies will ever change that fact.
AnywayHope this helps you a little bit ? Good luck and Happy Growing
No one can answer this?
I made a reply.
Can u please tell me how much alaska are u using per feed and how often do u feed.

Ffs you just confused the f out of me. I finally thought I found the right info on NPK and made a decision on what to go with it. Then you say the complete opposite to these other guys. This shit is so draining mentally lol I've been using N12 P1.4 K7 because I thought it was the good Shit for veg plus adding additional seaweed extract. They have been growing like shit and I thought it was the NPK. Now you're saying 18 4 9 start to finish. What headache. I think I'll just go with Mother Nature and use filtered water now.

My Dad taught me to grow like tomatoes too. I've had success outdoor just growing simple but this indoor thing has so many more problems that come with it. I could go and plant a seed directly into the ground and give it nothing but water and it'll thrive. But if I spend a shit load of money, plant the same seed in soil indoor and fry my brain with all this internet advice and I get fd plants. There's so many people saying different stuff. I don't know who's more stressed me or my critical poison fast girls.
I'm sticking with you! At least you write in a way that doesn't confuse people. It's very simplified so thumbs up on that. I live in Australia and here I wouldn't know where to look for something with the NPK you're suggesting. The closest I found today wasHello Waiakeauka.

Bro.. do you even realise how confusing that is? I feel like I've been drugged with meth when I read that Shit lol
