Fertilizing

[wickyd]

hello, I've got my cabinet built and am almost ready to germinate and get everything going in the first grow in my new place. I have some Ultimate Moonshine, Ice, Aurora Indica, and Whos yer daddy to grow out. I really want this grow to progress smoothly and the only thing that I'm really unsure about is the fertilization process. I dont want to burn any of the genetics, but I dont want to underfertilize either.

Do any of you growers have a good fertilization method for testing new strains?

When do you start to fert seedlings? What concentration do you use?

Thanks for any help

I start with 1/4 strength nutes about 2 to three weeks from seed. I use straight r/o water before then. Then I ramp it up a little until I transplant to next pot.

You just have to watch for how the different strains handle the nutes, some are a little different than others.

thank ya sir.....

so, start off with 25% of the instructions, and then every 3rd watering(5-6 days) increase the % a little until it burns a little, then use the previous concentration, right? does that make sense? heh

and how much vertical space above the screen in a ScROG setup is needed? I have a tall cabinet, but with all the fans and lights and the top, I am only able to use about half the cabinet in height. I think I'll have 2.5-3ft. of height above the screen to play with, will that be enough?

Thanks for any help guys/girls/other!

3 feet should be more than enough if your doing a scrog

Good luck and keep us all posted on your progress

That should be plenty of room above your screen.

And yes you are correct, you can add nutes until you start to see a slight tip turning up and/or a little browning on the tip and then back off a little by adding a few shots of straight water.
