Hi, I will soon be germinating my plants(Jack Herrer, Afghan Kush Ryder, Chronic Ryder) but I am completely clueless to fertz.:wall:

Plants will be outdoors, in Southeast USA

1. When o add fertz? I heard around week 4. Is this true?

2. What kind of fertz? I need to be able to get I at walmart.

3. What mix/dilution? I don't want to burn them or under-feed. A schedule would be great!

Any tips for fertz will be very appreciated.

Thanks!~PD:leaf:

Some resonably questions, but see each strain as you will find out has its own nute requirements, for this reason I always avoid growing too many strains at once, and very few growers ever keep notes, what suits your Jack Herrer, will totally kill your Chronic Ryder, for example, finding out hoewand which is part of becoming a grower..

1. When o add fertz? I heard around week 4. Is this true? ...........................in soil at quarter strength at week 3 at the earliest, in dwc week 1 at 1/8 strength

2. What kind of fertz? I need to be able to get I at walmart. ................................for veg any high in (N) in bud any tomato food high in (P) +(K) low in (N)

3. What mix/dilution? I don't want to burn them or under-feed. A schedule would be great! ................................read the pack and cut it by 33%

Im gonna sound like a jackass, but Im assuming N is nitrogen, but what are P and K? I am using coffee grinds for the Nitrogen part. Also works as insect repellant.

I'm not too sure where the coffee grinds fits in, but use 1 teaspoon of your urine to a gallon of water as a general high (N) fertilizer until you can afford a commercial tonic of urea, it highly addictive ...true !! ...lol

Wow after doing more research on the urine idea, I found it is naturally rich in N, P, and K! Thanks man. Also, Coffee grounds are loaded with Nitrogen, I mixed a cup in with every 5 gallons of soil. I also added finely ground egg shells for calcium.

The egg shells wont do much if anything in the 60-100 days of auto growth , Next and following years if you use the same spots

if its possible to wait untill the days are longer you will also have better results

Coffee grounds are great to keep ground crawling bugs off. Urine on the other hand is very tricky to use because of the high ammonia breakdown. You growing in pots or are these going into the ground? I normally buy cheap fish and put them 2-3ft under my plants. So fish on bottom. Then your soil.. let that chill for a month before you plant. Since you're new. I'd let them go natural if they are in the ground and only experiment with nutes on one of them. Like vostok said. Each strain will need different attention.
