How many times a week to you feed your plants veg to flower? I have absolutely no idea what I am doing in this category.

Glad you asked, and it depends on what/how you are feeding. You're using dry nutrients, right? They're like a slow moving ship. You have to anticipate your turns in advance and know it will move slowly. Dry amends you should only need to refresh every couple weeks. Whatever you're using should have instructions on how often it should be replenished.

So with dry nutrients and cannabis, getting to know the demand curve of cannabis and how it changes over the life of the plant is going to be your biggest guide, because as I said, you're steering a slow moving ship. They're more stable than the liquids, should normally amount to less trouble for you if you just get in the general ballpark of the ratios. Less prone to spikes and salt issues.

Running that ratio from seed to harvest, absolutely. No argument there. And I should clarify. Early flower, slightly more P than K and when tops are setting, K in the lead.

again there is no evidence, no science behind these numbers i don’t know why you insist on dying on this hill. this is just some made up bs by bro-scientists who also by overfertilizing with P poison water sources causing algae blooms. there is no such ratio as 1-5-4 backed by any data.

phosphorus doesnt make plant bloom better, thats genetics and light. phosphorus is an element which allows plant to express its genetic code as best as it can and take advantage of the light as best as it can. but P is not the only one N and K along with secondary and micro nutrients and trace elements they all need to be in balance and in the end that balance has been found to be at its best at something like 3-1-1/3-1-2 for the whole growth in numerous scientific studies. one study finds for example that cannabis inflorescence has 5-2 N-P ratio. which is pretty close to 3-1 again.

1-5-4 is just not a subject of botany anymore its literally made up or kept alive to sell 5-6 bottles to growers and thats it. for seedling a bottle for veg a bottle for transition a bottle for bloom a bottle for mid flower a bottle for ripening a bottle. show me one study on flowers which suggests 1-5 ratio of N-P and it doesn’t have to be cannabis it can be roses too.

in the end you do you ofc but please dont make made up numbers, not backed up by any tangible scientific evidence, your identity. then maybe you can change your mind when presented with contradicting evidence to your beliefs which is not a shortcoming but strength.

I got mine from ebay but i just looked up plant food on amazon and theres loads of vitax products, including a spray fertiliser. (i am in europe though, perhaps they dont sell them over there)
i put 4-5 of those throwaway dehumidifyers in my room during bud and water less to prevent bud rot , the worst i ever had it was on a gorilla glue (which was a 'spare' ) so i experimented and took off ALL the leaves, and towards the end it couldnt perspire moisture, the whole plant went almost over night
