So you think my best bet is to use 40%-40%-20%,
happy frog, strawberry field, pearlite with the the megagroup is my best option? I can get this all locally except the megacrop which I can have shipped to me easily. How often do you fertilize with the mega? You use this blend from start to finish?
That is about the % that I use. You can always vary it to your own liking. Perlite is Very important.
You may like the
FFOF better than SF, but I didn't. I used the Ocean Forest for about 2 yrs before switching.
I used to use Canna Terra nutes (pricey but good). I got a
free sample from greenleafnutrients.com and loved it. Yes, you use the same product throughout the grow, albeit in different strengths that you mix (I use my gram scale). I did find the need to add Calcium (
Cal-mag) as deficiencys showed without it.
You should experiment for yourself and gather up free samples where possible. That's a better way to learn imo. These things are our best guess and different strains..yada, yada..
Megacrop is most cost effective in the 22lb size ($50 some odd dollars), and it lasts forever. I was lucky and got a 1000gr sample that I am still using. Remember..if you go with
Foxfarm soils..no ferts are needed from 2-4 weeks as there is plenty in the soil.
My complete feed is: (other than experimentation)
Megacrop base
Ginormous PK booster (flower)
Botincare Sweet raw in flower
Assorted beneficials (Mycos etc)
Herculean Harvest (
Nectar of the Gods Calcium throughout the grow)
** plus an weekly dash of liquid Kelp in mid-late flower.
CAREFUL as the Megacrop already has kelp within
Important....as with most nutrients and Cannabis..LESS IS MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
