hey all, so ive got a quick question ive got some ferts for my plants but its my first time using them and dont want to kill my plant so my plants are auto and these ferts are 3 step ones by the looks of it but i cant be 100% sure of the order and ml I would need for my autos or when to start giving it now im just reading off the bottle here and am relying on you kind folks to help a newbie Grow: directions 2ml per 1L of water Npk 10-5-4 PK boost: directions 1.5ml per L as soon as budding begins npk: pk fertiliser solution 13-14 Bloom: directions 2- 2.5ml per L npk: 5-4-9 so my question is when do i start them on the fertiliser and how much do i give im terrible at maths so il need an ml per L number if possible and stages of when one is a fruit punch heavyweight auto and the second is blue cheese barney auto both on 18/6 lighting if it makes a difference and the growth medium is coco-coir blocks mixed with a compost called westland multi purpose with john innes stats on the bag dont show any kind of npk but about 70% peat 5 and 6 nutrient out of 10 westland MPC+JI and a ph level 6 ive attached photos of the compost and fert info and some of my plants so you can see what I can see any guidance is helpful now im not great at watering either so ive got watering globes this way with the coco i figure i can mix the fert put it in the globe and the plant can take what it wants without it drying out or dying of drowing like my last one did if its already diluted and all its all the same ammount right it wont kill the plants or anything like that? ive got a 2 liter bottle so id mix each step by half filling with water and adding fert chem closing and shaking the bottle quick update to clarify it hasnt had anything yet figured i dont wanna kill it
Grow is used during veg. Bloom is when you start seeing buds Boost says for budding but you can proably use it for the whole cycle of the plant Start with mixing 1ml of fert to 1 gallon of water, give it to the plant and wait a week and see how it reacts.... If every thing looks good then add 1.5ml of fert next week. Keep increaseing by .5ml each week till you notice any negative affects. So how this will go is this Veg to flower give it the grow fert once a week and boost every other week. Once you notice buds forming use the bloom fert every week and the boost every other week. Hope this helps
i thought that too but looking at it the pert is around 75 percent out of 100 in the compst so do i need to buy more and put it in right. also thanks for the help
Growing autoflowers in a fertilizer mixture like that... You will not need to add nutrients for weeks probably. Autoflowers are very sensitive to nutrients and could probably grow pretty successfully with using almost none of the nutrients from a bottle. I suggest feeding it once after about 2 weeks, then maybe another feeding once the flowering starts. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
going from us gal to uk liter says 3 liter water to 1.5ml right 10 that means to 1 liter or 0.264172 gal would have half an ml ?
