Right, im gonna use the gen organics man. Do you think that would be alright?
Personally, I don't like any of the typical hydro-store "lineups." I think it's better to focus on NPK ratio, and strength.
My advice to new growers is to just use a 1-1-1 ratio all the way through. If I were you, I'd run down to Ace Hardware and buy a box of MiracleGro Tomato (18-18-21). The only thing better than a ratio of 1-1-1 is if the K is a little higher all the way through. That stuff is great (for $6). If you want to improve the N in veg, you can add some fish emulsion. That's good for the soil microbes. In flower you can boost the P using a bat guano. (But, I wouldn't mess with that stuff. The Tomato is a ratio 1-1-1.2. That's good.).
I've used it. 1/2 to 5/8 tsp/gal works fine. When I fed too heavy, I didn't get nutrient burn. I got N toxicity (the claw and dark green). So, I think it's safe that way.
I'm assuming you don't have the GO stuff. If you're going to buy something, I'd do the MG. If you already have the GO... maybe it makes sense to use it. If you have time to buy something online, I'd recommend Grow More Sea Grow All Purpose (instead of the MG). I think it's better for the soil, more organic-based ingredients. But, MG grows fine. If you have the GO already, it should be ok.
A lot of people like Jacks Classic (1-1-1 ratio). I havent' used it. I like Sea Grow because its ingredients are less synthetic (I think. I can't find a Jack's label). Jacks also has a Fruit product (2-1-2 ratio). Mixing Classic an Fruit together would produce a nice veg ratio (or, just using the Fruit by itself, although the K might be a tad high). They have a Bloom product (1-3-2 ratio). Mixing that with the Classic in bloom could be good. (If I used Jacks, I'd play around with all three that way. I do that kind of monkeying around with Sea Grow. But, I use unrelated things to adjust the NPK ratio. Things that are organic. Like guano, fish emulsion.). I'm probably doing "multi-bottle" type stuff considering everything I use. But, I'm more in control of it, with an eye to soil health and NPK ratios. Not just following a proprietary "schedule" (which might involve synthetics).
And actually, checked the plants after work 2day and they are actually better looking than this morning. The best of the bunch even grew a good bit. Ive been letting them air out and thr soil dry past couple days. I need to be more careful with the waterings. But ill take your advice to stick towards my soil intended nutrients. Hopefully they keep looking up
It could be your soil is drying and the ph is rising. I've noticed my soil swings a full ph point from wet to dry. I think that's part of the problem when people treat a cannabis plant as a houseplant and water it every day. It doesn't let the swing occur. The full range of nutrients isn't as widely available. When the soil dries slowly, it's tempting to keep it wet because you want to deliver more nutrients. But, if the soil is kept wet, then nutrients are less availabe. As you add more, they build up. Spiral into more acidity, etc. You see the effects and you want to feed more (causing more wetness, more buildup).
When the plants grow into the container better, maybe it will dry faster. If you use the MG "Tomato," I think there's less risk of burning than if you used the chelated GH 3-part synthetics. if you feel you can't get the nutrients to the plant as frequently as you like because the soil doesn't dry fast enough, I think the MG would be safer to feed heavier, so there's more nutrients in the soil as you wait to water again. (If you tried to feed GH Flora strongly so there's more present during the "waiting to dry" period, that might burn.). MG might burn. I can't guarantee it. But, I never saw it. I deliberately fed heavy trying to find where it would burn. All I got were blue-green leaves with the claw. :) That's not bad.
