Simply How often do u put the fertilizer on?

[Jstromz]

I think i have 15-30-15 fertilizer and used it once on my plant when it got its second leaf stem when should i use more of this....they are little pebbles and says two teaspoons of the stuff...and i think its a flowering fert so idk if i should wait or not?? oh yea its been about 2 weeks since i used the fert

Whats the brand? You want lower nitrogen for flowering. You could get by using 1/3rd every other watering through the whole grow if your not sure. Always work your way up. If the tips start burning you know not to add any more. It's really all trial and error.

15-30-15 Is great for flowering. 20-20-20 good for veggin

Igrowtomato, I have your quote on one of my t-shirts. Cool.

Anyway, yeah you want an even number for vegging (20-20-20) or you could also use something with a little more nitrogen (15-10-10) and for flowering you want more phosphorous (15-30-15 or 10-20-10) You want to give it 1/4 strength that the fert recommends and then work your way up over the next waterings. You are supposed to give it nutes usually every other watering or whenever the plant looks like it needs some lovin'. Let it grow for about a month before you start giving it anything.

i am seeing this everywhere and feeling stupid what are nutes????

Nutes=Nutrients. Lots of people use the words "nutrients" and "fertilizer" interchangeably and from what i've come to understand, the only real difference is that a lot of people who do Hydro grows will call them "nutes" and people who do soil grows will call them "ferts".
