yo gimme some newt halp

i got florabloom,floragro and floramicro. whats a good VEG ratio and if you can pleaase just break it down to how many tsp per gallon. i got koolbloom too if that will do anything atm.

the thing is i have no idea what week im on... my plants are almost a foot tall and have four nodes.

At a foot tall i'd be feeding them full strength with the nutes i use. Why not start at their week 2 feeding schedule. If you feed them and yous ee leaf discolouration a day or so later, jut means back off on the strength, but at a foot tall, it should be able to handle it's nutes.

ok i am just flushin atm as of too much nitgrogen, i made a mixture of 2tspmicro, 2tspgro, and 1tsp bloom.

So you're using GH flora series in soil?

I used the 3-2-1 ratio for veg and 1-2-3 for flower (gro-micro-bloom) because that's the easiest one to remember and lots of people use it. Flora series wasn't very forgiving in my experience, little room for error. I used straight ocean forest soil, distilled water, and cal-max in the recommended doses.

You're going to need ph up if you want to add enough nutes for a healthy plant. I topped out at 1½ tsp per gallon because I don't like adding excess salts to my soil and therefore won't use ph up in my mix. My nute solution in that concentration was 6.4 and my soil ph remained stable at 6.3.

Also, I don't know why but everything I've read about flora series says to add your micro to the water first, then gro and bloom, so that's what I did.

Hope you have better luck than I did.

Per gallon? Your ph must be in hydroponic range, but I'm curious to see what happens.

its on the bottle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why doesnt anyone ever just pick up the and just read the directions

i cant get any of that ph shit which is shitty but its my first time so i cant do a whole lot if shit as i barely know anything about it. but thanks man!! and for doobered, no shit its on the bottle its called not messin up.

if you fallow to bottles formula it will work fine or use half the recommended to a gal
kool bloomz if for later for flowering its pretty decent

or GH will have different schedules for you

and how would you mess up if you fallow the the feeding schedule

Because the instructions are for hydro and OP is growing in soil

Mandala Seeds said:

For the cultivation in soil there is a common rule among cultivators to use 50% of the recommended dosages. Growers follow this rule without actually knowing what salt concentration they are feeding their plants with. For soil cultivation an EC meter is the most important tool to find out what the proper dosage is. This is why everyone who values their plants should not save on this rather moderate investment of 45$/Euro!

General Hydroponics
One Part Bloom (N-P-K: 2-4-7)


Recommended min. dosage (Hydro): 8ml/1L or 1.5 EC
Recommended dosage on soil: "less" (?!)
Recommended frequency on soil: every second watering
2ml/1L = 1.30 EC
4ml/1L = 2.00 EC
0,5ml/1L= 0.70 EC

The amazing thing about these instructions is the inaccuracy of the amount to fertilize on soil. What does "less" mean? If we were to use the common rule and mix 50% of the recommended dosage we still get an EC of 2.0! That would lead to immediate symptoms of overfertilization. Even at 25% of the dosage we are still in the danger zone. With 0,5ml/L or 6% of the recommended dosage we finally have a safe solution! This example shows how important it is to have an EC meter at hand.

OP is going to kill his plants.

i get the soil thing for sure
its the only medium i grow in well its a soil coco perlite mix

Yup, we've all got our winning combos. The only reason I used GH for last grow is because the bottles were collecting dust. I'm going back to foxfarm for soil grows.

use earth juice or roots organics they are supieror to FF
ff's open seseme, beastie blooms, and chaching good bud builders

hey guys so uh how many tsp of eaach per gallon would be perfect??

... you could google a feeding schedule of you liking for GH or any nute line

1½ tsp (7.5 ml) per gallon combined gets you 6.4 PH. I used millimeter doses from gro, micro, and bloom. (medicine dropper $2) If you want to add more than 1½ tsp you need a $10 bottle of ph up, which must be diluted in water before being added to your nutrient mix.

Adding lime ($3) to your soil will help counter the ph drop. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, there seems to be an endless line of products and hardware that you can buy to grow pot. Just buy what you can when you can, and try to think ahead when it comes to your soil. Once your plant is growing, it's too late to make any ammendments to it. (unless you transplant)

Keep growing

yeah thanks, i cant even get a ph meter, so i just have to do what you said for my next feeding

You could simply try, and as a result, learn. Being spoonfed can take you only so far.

Sounds like you need to pack your grown down and wait till you've actually researched and bought what you need.
