Hey everybody. I have a noob question for ya. Can anyone tell me how much npk marijuana needs at different stages of growth (early veg, late veg, etc.). Or at least point me in the right direction. Im having trouble finding this information. Also Im looking for a good list of organic ingredients npk values. Help is appreciated. peace.
Your noob question is kind of hard to answer in a neat quick answer, but I'll try. To the best of my knowledge mj in general, and there is a lot of varietal differences, seem to like high N, low P, high K. With a lot of mag needed and lots of cal in early flower. Some think you don't need much P, and some think several shots of P in early flower is important.
But since your in the organic forum. Keep in mind in our type of growing we want to feed the microbes a diverse diet, and they in turn will indiectly feed our plants. Actually the plants take what they want and can manipulate the microbes through secretions to do their bidding.
So do what you can to make your soil a good home for microbes. Helpful in this are ewc, compost, both bacterial and fungal foods.
All this can sound complicated, and it is, and i'm still a learner, but you can take a good peat based mix, add some perlite to keep it light and airy, and some dolomite lime for ph buffering as well as cal and mag, and charge your soil with a dry mix (espoma's bio tone starter plus is a good one) wet it, rest it a couple of weeks, a month is better, and it will do great things with only good water added. Then while you read and learn about organic growing you can step up your game with compost teas and such....hope you find this helpfull......good luck
