I've done well with my outdoor grows (as a lot of you have seen) so I'm trying my hand at some indoor growing to get some experience under my belt and using it for breeding.
My girls are about a month into the flower cycle. Using colloidal silver on two to produce female pollen on specific branches (that turned out weird but I don't think it had any bearing on this discussion). I don't need to identify the deficiency. From home soil tests I've done the results were...
pH - 6.5
Nitrogen - very very low
Phosphorus - dead on
Potassium - very very depleted
Before I feed them again I want to know since my P and pH perfect (I think) if I feed them bloom nutes (options of HB&B 5-50-17, Kool Bloom 2-45-28, a dilution and or mix of both) to restore the K will it cause the pH and P to spike, giving me a different set of problems. Another thing is, should I kick up the N a notch or leave it super low. I'm about 4-5 weeks into an 8-10 week flower cycle.
I omitted any information regarding lighting and the soil they're in because I don't think it had any bearing on the answer, other than they were started in a well balanced soil with good living microorganisms.
Also, I'm on a very limited budget, so I'm not going to be purchasing anything more than say, $10-$20, If needed at all. After the 1st I'll have more cash to work with.
Thanks guys. If I'm missing any info necessary to answering this question, let me know, and I will do my best to provide it.
Oh, and the tent is outside, the temps have been drpping into the whole range of 40'sF at night. I'm running a seedling heating mat under the two Banana Ice Cream (right side), the Chocolate Nepal (left isn't very cold sensitive).
(*note* I'm growing these girls for seed so I'm not concerned about getting huge colas or a big swell.)
