Thank you! For the little fan, no problem- I really do need info about the feeding timing though, is it ok as far, or should I feed her twice a week during the blooming? (That is the frustration so far) I know that she's healthy, my gracious is she growing well and quickly :love2::party1:
Flowering period,
First we need to know the strain and it’s potential flower time/length
Here is what I do,
I feed half strength veg feed along with half flower feed first 4 weeks into flower, I feed every 3rd time she needs water.
Important as the stretch and flower development does require some nitrogen and higher bloom/potassium and phosphate.
I will add cal mag at every watering, at 1/2 strenght
After 4 th week, I switch it to 100% bloom feed,
Now this schedule is true for 8wk flower and 10-12 week flower, only difference is that sativa temps to need a bit of a boost say the last 3 weeks, the leaves won’t be able to support the bud development without more nitrogen input.
Hence the cal mag every watering, calcium nitrate is (nitrogen) just in the macro stage.
I also add super thrive week 5, 7, 9. Along with cal mag /watering.
The feeding stays constant. 4th week beyond, 100% bloom strength every 3-4th watering /feed.
I add extra waterings feed by purposefully under watering as to allow for faster absorption: uptake. Don’t drench her. Plant your size, 1/2 liter every other day (2cups worth) .
This allows more feedings in small proportion and watering with cal mag. In flower the root zone is only active up to 1/2way into flowering, then they slow up on uptake. Feeding less quantity allows for Dryer periods :better uptake.
Last 2weeks of flower plain ph water, if tap water, always take 3-4 gallons and let it sit overnight to allow the chlorine to evaporate.
Adjust ph to 6.2-6.5 in soil. Use lemon juice, or ph down. Few drops, let it sit 4hrs to stabilize, test and then water.
