Beginners advice needed on nutrient feeding levels

[Shandan]

Hi All, This is my first time growing and would appreciate your advice on nutrient feeding levels. I'm growing outdoors in pots (25CM radius)

Following the seeds sprouting i used 1ML Root juice to 1 Ltr water for 2 weeks.

On the next week I used 1ML Root Juice, 1ML Bio-Grow & 1ML Bio-Bloom to 1Ltr water.

This week I started using: 2ML Root Juice, 1ML Bio-Grow, 2ML Bio-Bloom and 2ML AlG-A-Mic to 1Ltr water.

The plants do look good but am concerned I'm giving them to many nutrients too soon?

Can anyone tell me if the nutrient levels I'm giving them sound normal?

Sorry If I'm asking a dumb question :)

Outdoor plants can handle a tremendous amount of nutrients especially later in the season when the get large. If they plants look good and you are not seeing any burn or lock-out then I would not be too worried about it.

I am not familiar with the products you listed so I cannot answer specifically if that is a normal level for what you are using. I can tell you though that with my outdoor plants that once they are established I feed them 3-4 times a week via a soil drench and foliar feed once a week.

Uhh - 20ml's of fertilizers per gallon sounds like a pretty high dose - but I've have to check the bottles or the results with a TDS meter to be sure.

It probably works out to 800 - 1100 ppm's . . . . how big are your plants exactly?

Thanks for your feedback here guys.
Here's a few pics of my plants, please let me know what you think.

they look perfect....... whats the NPK on the bio bloom?

Wow yea they do look quite nice.

I guess it's working for ya.

Nice plants, nice job so far.
I have done some patio growth.first try to cover the pots with a white paint or at least a paper(as they are black and absorb light too much and make your roots too hot especially in periphery.

second,cover your top soil with bark mulch or something else to allow the roots come to surface for some oxygen.without mulch the surface temperature is too hot to be tolerated by roots.its all about maximizing the soil environment suitable for root to grow and a happy root is the mainstay of a happy plant.

anyway , good luck .

Cheers again for the feedback here guys!

GOTO-gumi, the NPK for the Bio-Bloom (using BioBizz) is:
N - 2.0%
P - 6.0%
K - 3.5%

Satica, thx for your great advice there, I'll get right on that :)

I was told to up the Bio-Bloom from next week from 2ML to 3ML and to start using 2ML Bio-Heaven (along with the other nutrients at the same current levels) - would you guys have any input there, do you think I should hold that off for a further week or do you think they look like they could handle it?

Thx again for your help here!

I used to use the biobizz stuff when i grew in compost. I think the most bloom i ever used was up to 4ml per litre. The grow is usually at 1 - 2 ml depending on the stage of growth and how much N they need.
The bloom shouldn't be given until they are a week or 2 into flower though. All you need is the grow up to that point.



that's their feed schedule, although i think that's for clones, but generally it's about right, you just extend the veg period abit for seeds.

Thx for your advice there Weedobix and for sending on the biobizz schedule :)

as a rule of thumb you dont have to feed plant from seed for first month the seed contains everything the plant will need to thrive until it establishes itself [1 month from popping threw medium

 

[Blaze]

Those plants look good - I can see new, lighter green growth in the pics you posted so they are obviously growing nicely. I do not think you are over feeding them at all from how they look so far.

Good to hear, thx a lot Blaze. Am concerned about raising the nutrient levels for next though, don't want to do anything that could unbalance them...and as I'm just starting out amn't 100% there, will see how I get on :)
