Ferts?

HI all, i got my new ferts today and ive notiched that the NPK is alot differant ..These are my veg ferts.
the npk of my new veg ferts is 5.1 ,7.8, 2.6.

As i have no ppm meter i,am wondering how to use these to there full.
I was told to use only half the amount of ferts, as i am only using a 400 watt hps.

also my seeds have started to crack how much should i give my little babies when i transplant them to rockwool.

Thanks all.

this is not good veg fert. this is actualy weak flowering fert

so why have they sent me it as a veg fert!!? It is in A and B part.It does not show the npk of part A so i guess it is the same npk as part B.
I,am concerned about my TWO part flower feed now ,,which has a NPK OF 5/9.6/4.6 PART B.No nkk on part A so i guess the same again!!??
OMG i dont believe it.I do believe you but is they noway of using it.

HELLLLP

What's the name of the nutes that you got?

yes - what is the name of the nutrients?
also - you don't need to feed your babies until they are a few weeks old.

This is them.

Yes, the little tiny first set of leaves from the seed (called cotyledons or dicots) has enough food stored in them to support the first couple weeks of life for the plant. You don't need to feed yet, and then when you do, you want to start off with 1/4 strength of whatever is recommended by the manufacturer. If you see any tip of the leaf or any new growth starting to look burned then you know you've made it too strong.

same goes for hydro - no need to feed for the first 2-3 weeks.

NPK requirements change throughout the grow. My opinion is your best bet is to check out other peoples grow journals - find one you admire and is similar to your situation (similar lighting, system, etc..) find out what nutes they used.

You will be looking for either a 3 part (base, grow, bloom) or 2 part (grow, bloom) series that you mix in varying quantities depending on the growth cycle the plant is in.

To give you some idea regarding manufacturers - many folks swear by Advanced Nutrients. They are pricey but those who use them seem to continue to do so which is pretty strong endorsement.

FoxFarm is another popular manufacturer that is easier on the pocket book.

General Hydroponics seems to be the least expensive - but still acceptable - nutrient manufacturer.
