24-8-16 NPK Ratio

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Muncheese, Jul 20, 2006.

  1. Well, my seedlings (3) came out of their 2 weeks under 160 watts of white flourescent lighting and are now outside under the all powerful sun. I found some miracle grow that my mom uses on the garden with the 24-8-16 NPK ratio, and watered them with that, properly diluted of course. Will this be almost as good as the 15-10-15, or should I get that instead? I'm not really looking for huge yields out of this crop, since it is my first grow, but I only have 3 plants and don't even know how many are males yet since I am using bag seed. Thanks for any opinions you have.
     
  2. It will be fine for vegging. I would like to see higher levels of P and K for flowering.
     
  3. wow 6 years and its still up here lol. i am also using 24-8-16 mg. i have noticed my leaves are yellowing all over from the lowest and climing up. ph of water is 6.8 and i dont know the soil oh but could this be from buildup in the soil from the nutes? plants are 3 weeks into flowering so 3 months old in total and the yellowing is getting worse "only since starting 12/12"... is this normal? or do i need to flush?
     
  4. For anyone who will read this..

  5. You'll want P and K for that, more P than K. Some N is, of course, OK.
     
  6. Keen to share photos bro?
     
  7. Which will be better they both claim to give big buds but have totally different ratios

    Is their a such thing as too strong??

  8. You can definitely over-nute a plant, no matter if it's indoor/outdoor or soil/hydro or any combination there-of. I dunno about that 50 there, someone better versed in such things should answer you about that.
