i just got some Alaska Morbloom 0-10-10 today and i was wondering could i usethis lightly on my plants with every watering or should i just give em one heavy feeding every so often. My other question is i know to much nitrogen can burn up a plant, but can too much K and P during budding actually do more harm than good or can i just let em have it.........
im gonna start watering with some molasses in my water too cause ive read some good stuff on that, so i cant wait to see and taste the difference!!!
Thanx Peace

I wouldnt use alaska products, but thats just me. Id add 1/4 reccomended dose and slowly build up. I wouldnt feed every water, maybe every second water. And you dont want to feed a shitload at a time, start off slow then build your way up. You dont want to burn her.

too much of anything does more harm than good, plants still need N during flowering so make sure you aren't only feeding them 0-10-10 unless you want all your leaves to fall off ;)

I'd say quarter strength max at the beginning - I started feeding my plants too early and burned them a bit (started at beginning of 4th week) so for flowering this time I'm probably not giving them QUITE as much as I could/should but I'd rather be safe than sorry...they seem to be lapping it up and blooming quite nicely though so I can't be far off the right amounts!

Make sure you give them nitrogen too. More green leaves means more bud. It is easier to just use a product that is properly mixed already for bloom. The reason so many leaves turn yellow during bloom is the lack of nitrogen during blooming. Just read about this recently as I had been in the same boat as everyone else thinking they didn't need much nitrogen however I was wrong and so are the majority of the mj specific nutrient manufacturers. Don't ask me why these manufacturers mix the wrong NPK ratios for flowers. The best thread I've ever read is Uncle Ben's: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/150004-plant-moisture-stress-symptoms-solutions.html There's more quality information in that thread than I've ever seen. No b.s. scientific facts. The guy should get some sort of an award for his time and effort and no nonsense advice.

I use my own mix of organic tea... but before I used that, I used Alaska Fish Emulsion 5-1-1 and Alaska Morbloom 0-10-10.... See that nug pic as my avatar? it was grown on that sucky Alaska product under spiral cfl bulbs..... heh

So the answer is mix it in at about 1 tbsp per gallon, every watering. P & K are both essential for plant growth, not just bud formation.
