I always used dry nutrients when growing outdoors in native soil. Use as directed on the bag -- full strength if it's fertilizer for cannabis, half if it's for general veggies or tomatoes.This is one of those questions that probably has an obvious answer I'm missing: how do I know how much nutrients to give my plants that are in the ground outside? With potted plants I mix up a batch of nutrients with the proper pH and ec and water until there's runoff. Is there a way to know how much to give or just go by plant health?
I agree and I should have specified that. I use organic nutes outdoors and indoors. Unless you're using one with a lot of chicken manure, it's hard to burn them.Synthetic nutes outside are not the best I would recommend a dry amendment like gaia green. I would not put bottled nutes outside into the ground, too much phosphorus can potentially cause issues in your local area aka toxic algae bloom. Good luck
highly recommend moving away fromSo far, so good....I've been using 1 tbsp Miracle Gro 24-8-16 twice a week and they seem happy and healthy so far. From first to last: GG #4, Purple Urkle, Fat Bastard and Gelato Glue. The Gelato Glue started to flower in June and then stopped and has been in a holding pattern ever since - not sure what that's about but I doubt it has anything to do with nutes since the others are not exhibiting this behaviour.
Once flowering starts, I'll be switching to Monopotassium Phosphate for a PK boost and I'll see how that goes
For generations, Native Americans buried whole fish beneath the root system of plants being transplanted into bigger holes. Cut one whole mackerel in two and stuff it down the hole about a foot deep, then add a sprinkling of worm castings or native soil to cover up the fish, before finally placing your young cannabis plant into the hole and backfilling with worm castings or native soil. Water in thoroughly to eliminate air pockets, and then that is it. Job done. Bob's yer uncle.This is one of those questions that probably has an obvious answer I'm missing: how do I know how much nutrients to give my plants that are in the ground outside?

They will always need nitrogen just because the plants go into flower and feed on more p&k doesn't mean to stop the N.The Fat Bastard has some of the older leaves yellowing, I'm assuming from a nitrogen deficiency. Based on previous years and her rate of growth, shes probably in her last week of veg or first week of flowering. When in flowering does she stop needing nitrogen? Does she have enough stored up that I can switch to pure PK or should I keep feeding her N? If so, should I use veg levels or reduced levels for flowering?
The other 3 strains are all green and thriving :-)
Sorry to hear that.Well, thanks for the advice but a storm took out the Fat Bastard last night so the issue is moot.
How long have they been in veg for and how many gallons is that pot? That tree is pretty big for the containerThe Fat Bastard has some of the older leaves yellowing, I'm assuming from a nitrogen deficiency.

I cut the bottoms off the buckets and let then grow right into the ground. The buckets are more to elevate the plant to make it easier for me to prune and train them. It also seems to be keeping them away from whatever critters were digging at the roots last year. That time I placed rocks and stones around the stem for protection.How long have they been in veg for and how many gallons is that pot? That tree is pretty big for the container
