Need help fertilizing in flower

regrat

Hi all.

I always had problems with under/over fert during flowering, I manage to get to the middle of flowering with little or no problems, then I always fuck everything up with fertilizers.
So I would like someone who can break through the whole flowering with nice plants to guide me with fertilizing.
Depending on what you will advise me, I will choose and buy one of these flowering ferts:

-BioBizz Bio Bloom
-Plagron Terra or Alga Bloom
-GHE Flora/FloraNova/BioSevia Bloom
-Canna Terra Flores

If you're using any of these and have good results, please let me know when and how much I should use!

These are my current plants and I dont want to ruin them like I always did. The pics are 4 days old so the plants are 36 days old now, 12 days in flower.

I hope someone takes a minute and helps me out, would be much appriciated!

step 1. get a bag of maxi-bloom and throw every other fertilizer you have out

step 2. mix half a tablespoon per gallon of water and apply

step 3. notice your happy plants

maxi bloom follows the lucas formula, and is the perfect amount of everything all in one bag for flowering or veg! if your plants show a deficiency, just up the dosage to a full tablespoon, if they seem overfed, cut the dosage in half...no guessing what particular nutrient is out of wack or buying multiple bottles of expensive snake oil, just one nutrient and water...a 15 dollar bag of maxi bloom will grow you a hundred pounds of herb! its cheep and goes a long long way!

Aye! I'll second that.

The only deficiency that MB won't cure with a bump in strength is magnesium... There are a number of elite cuts and now seed strains that will need extra magnesium. Just pick up a bag of epsom salts and use between a half a gram to a gram per gallon... each time you mix your nutrients.

MB rocks... stick with it! :D

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

Ok thanks for the reply, I'll definately get maxi bloom.

Can you tell me when should I feed them for the first time ?

The K.I.S.S. Method

yeah, i'm gonna jump on the MaxiBloom bandwagon and agree that using one nute throughout the cycles has helped me improve my grow by leaps and bounds, ...no more freekin' guess work.

...check out that link above and you'll find most of your questions answered in the first posting, after that you will learn to refine your technique while also finding links to many fine threads from some VERY accomplished growers who've been using this feeding regimen for years.

peace, SOG
 
I started feeding plain water, with runoff, half way thru flower for a couple waters then back to feeding. Cleared all of my issues up pretty well.

Hey, It's me again. I got my maxi bloom today. I'm not sure if I should feed my plants next watering or maybe wait a bit more. Like I said before, they're in 11L pots from beginning.

My two blueberries are looking the best but my orange buddies are experiencing from yellowing from below. I'm not sure if it's due to the lack of light or just normal or from the lack of nutes.

Judging from these images, should I feed em or not:

Regrat,
You're plants are looking great, so steer a steady course. If you follow the BioBizz feed chart, using everything on the chart, you can't go wrong. And BioBizz yields some of the tastiest weed. Good luck. -granger

i dont have any of those, i think ill just keep it simple and feed only maxi bloom, as far as ph is concerned i always check the ph of water im watering with and adjust it accordingly.
ok then, thanks for the input, i'll feed some with next watering

...apparently you DO have SOME of those things or you wouldn't be able to test and adjust your ph.

...in the future if you can get some Protekt or Silica Blast you can use either as a ph up balancer and kill two birds with one stone.

what i mean to say is that either Protekt or Silica Blast can be used instead of ph up so that, while you balance your ph, you also add silica to the mix which will benefit your plants greatly, ...for one thing added silica helps make for strong stems that are less prone to wilting.

Heh, I meant i didnt have protekt or silica. And thanks for the info, I will look into it.
Well, I just fed my plants with 10g MaxiBloom per 10L water, somewhat below recommened dosage(wanna keep it safe), the EC was 1.0(tap water comes at 0.3), I hope the plants respond well to the feed.
