Who says Potassium will stimulate flowering?

Interesting "bloom" food. Low P, like it should be. Plants just don't need a lot of P to support top notch flowering.

Are you saying I don't need to pay $25 for 8 oz of this product to get good buds?

They do not market this as a cannabis bloom fertilizer though but for bedding plants. I imagine not hemp for horse bedding but rather this kind of bedding plants



I have a different brand fertilizer for the same purpose (stores own brand actually) and it is 4-2-7. But I find suboptimal for flowering cannabis. It's meant for violets and so on.

If it will work for violets or Gazanias, it is fine for cannabis.

Cannabis does not have any special or unique nutritional needs in general.

Do plants grown in small pots have different needs?
View attachment 19030320
I don't have much space so i keep them in small pots with coco and mineral salts.

It's a great plant blueberry twist, no matter how much I trim it back it always comes back with vigour.

I'm about to clone a new mum cut me some slack 😂
Curious, what kind of a space problem do you have and why? Cannabis wants to grow big. Lots of root mass produces, supports the rest.

I've a lack of space in general but more so it's expensive to heat, light and vent another tent for vegging so I only use a clone tent and 96w of t5s for mums, seeds and clones and use a 5x5 for flowering.

It's summer here and I'm needing heater in my tent.

That humidity also requires a dehumidifier aswell the heater it's not easy without a truck load of money.

I can't even run my tent right now so I'm just doing outdoor. Have to shut down for the summer. It's been about 37° C here for the past week. Send some of that coolness my way please.

That would be nice to exchange some weather lol, I've read a couple of times this week about people winding down for the summer due to heat.
I was wanting to take advantage of the summer weather huh circa 12/16c so far.
I've been planning to wind down for the winter for a few years, thing is I enjoy the growing now as much as the weed I grow.

Anyone aiming at the 30ppm Phosphorous suggestion from Dr. Bugbee, and his colleagues, this year?

I'm going to grow the same way I have been and get the same great results I always do. Bugbee is a smart guy but it doesn't take a PhD to grow cannabis and I have no time or desire to turn the simple task of growing cannabis into a complicated science experiment.

But if you do I'll be interested to see the results. :plant grow:

I've never seen any Dr Bugbee buds, has he ever grown weed?
I get the feeling he's clued in ( as in a USER ) on what end product is most desirable. The problem is that I've heard him say they can't use high thc cannabis in their laboratory in Utah.
Some of that CBD cannabis looks and smells like super dank, so I do think his findings would support high THC plants as well.
BB is all about efficiency. His goal would be to grow the plant at maximum genetic potential and in the end, not a single atom of nutrient left over in the feed... and the guy is actually doing damn near that.
