So I'm I've literally hit the 1st wk.mark of flowering. I started 4 plants 2 hindu kush & 2 girl scout cookies in fox farm ocean forest soil which had enough nutrients to carry plants into flowering stage cuz I flipped early. I've read that you shouldn't start blooming nutrients until wk.2 of flowering. I'm using GH floraduo nutrients. Part b is 1-5-4 which I've read is good for early stage of flowering. I know you probably can't use guidelines on bottle cuz it's not specific to cannabis. It says 2 tsp.for mild bloom on bottle. Its 1 tsp per gal.to represent the 1-5-4. Does doubling the amount double the npk? In other words is 2 tsp.for mild bloom equal to 2-10-8 & is this too much for early flower stage?

Bib4tuna. Increasing the amount of nutrients you give the plant increases the PPM, so in a way your understanding is correct but at the same time incorrect. The 1-5-4 stands for the amount of NPK in a percentage. Meaning the total volume in the bottle has 1 percent N 5 percent P and 4 percent K. If you want to be safe this early in the grow I would start out feeding at about 1/3 of what the max is. Follow the instructions on the bottle but just lower the amounts. I would increase each feed to a maximum of 75 percent of the amount the bottle states. As you gain more knowledge you can tweak the amount you feed. You can feed more but risk lockout or killing the plant. Also make sure to use the other parts of the line if there are others.
