13/13/13 fertilizer????Good or bad for plants

[Ddaman79]

I have some triple 13 fertilizer I was wondering if it would be good to throw some to some of my photos and autos

Using it lightly would be the same as using 4.4.4 witch I seen folks use might not be the best & personally would amend it depending on witch stage of growth I was in

It really depends what else is in it

better with veg growth or used lightly as a baseline, even during flowering when adding other nutrients

also is it water soluble or slow release

also is it water soluble or slow release

That part is a big deal! And I don’t think a lot of people even consider it! Especially newer people!

 

[Ddaman79]

I think slow release tomorrow when I get where it is I'll send pic to see if u might be familiar with it

That’s what I was thinking too! We’ll see when he gets a picture!

 

[Ddaman79]

Damn I was just out there with it the bag was empty but I'll still send picture around 6:00 when I go back it's a big white bag

 

[Ddaman79]

I didn't go back but I will tomorrow also I have a question I have some compost that is a couple years old dark soil soon I'll be transplanting some gelato photos when I dig my holes I'm not putting any dirt back in there I have like 3 or 4 different bags of soil and was going to mix my compost with it and I asked my buddy if I mix 50/50 compost and soil would it do good and he said it would burn it up what do y'all think my mix should be

My understanding is it's helpful to mix compost with soil if organic growing. The ratio depends on the density of each. It's mostly used for support of microbial life and water retention. Cannabis, however, likes its root zone to drain well. Adding perlite or rice hulls will help with that.

Compost isn't likely to cause nutrient burns. Not all compost is the same, though.

If the fertilizer is mineral or synthetic, there wouldn't be much need for using compost.

 

[Oldchucky]

If the native soil grows pretty good native plants, I would mix it 50-50 with the soil you dug out of the hole along with the perlite. There are so many variables and unknowns with the compost and the soil that’s all just a guessing game anyway! As long as you didn’t have to dig your holes with a rock bar! I think you’ll just have to take your best guess! Or try a hole each way! My guess would be that two year old compost won’t be very hot! Specially, if it is mostly plant material!

 

[Ddaman79]

Thanks man and I'ma go with what u said try one soil compost mix and one compost and store bought I know in one of my buckets that has the store bought soil in it one has fox farm ocean floor

 

[Ddaman79]

I have like 19 starter cups and just about all of them the seeds have poked out tomorrow I'ma take a picture of them so u can tell me if the starter cups are big enough to keep them in till it's time to transplant out in the woods also I have planted garlic around my plants to keep animals away a old school partner of mine said it would work that and onions

Oh man great info with the rice hulls never heard of that and I don't have any perlite lol just a good ol country man just trying to get by

Of course, if your plants spontaneously combust three days after your transplant, I’m blaming it on, love growing it and Nick!

Lmmfao man I love this app and the community of ppl on here this is a real good thing they have going on here

Actually... Compost can spontaneously combust, but that's only while it's composting. Microbial activity can get quite hot. It was used in greenhouses to keep them warm. The practice was to have composting material under the tables and benches. I remember my grandfather's greenhouse from my childhood days back in the 1950s. He was an amazing gardener, and he used composting to keep his greenhouse warm in the winter. Walking into it was like walking into a tropical forest because of the heat, the humidity, and the powerful organic aromas.
