Couple Feeding Questions

This advice is doo doo, water. Sorry brown, bud, but some fertilizers require you to water plants thoroughly, and allow to absorb before applying.

Hmm, dissenting opinions, eh? What does someone else think about this?

Also, apparently I'm an idiot, Fresno, and I can't read. Because I looked at my MG bag again today and it IS the shit in the picture you posted. Should I still stick to my plan of starting off slowly with the feeding regimen and seeing how my plant reacts?

hmmmm...... are your plants showin any signs they have used up all the nutrients in the soil? like yellowing or necrosis, and things of that nature.

Only my littlest one. The big one looks perfectly healthy.

I'm the type of person that likes to read my plants...if it aint broke, don't fix it......i would leave the big one alone until it shows signs of nute deficiency. the half plant I would give a dose of nutes at half strength and see how it does and go from there

if it says it will feed up to 6 months be very careful with adding any nutes. personaly i would wait it out rather than risk it if its your only crop

Alright, thanks, guys. Wish I would've figured this all out before dropping $80 on nutes, haha, but at the very least I'll have them for my next crop. Lesson learned.

I'm still pretty sure that u can slowly start to feed them some bloom nutes. The mg is high in nitrogen, so try not to give them anymore. The tiger bloom at 1/8 should be ok. I would use half a tsp in 1 gal and check the plant the next day. If it takes it good then the next time use 1 tsp in a gal and so on until you get up to the regular dose. I would also use plain water between feedings. Starting slow like that isn't gonna hurt them. If you notice any tips turn brown just stop with the nutes. I have burnt the fan leaves off of a plant before and still harvested some good bud.

haha i got some Miracle Grow Bloom Booster yesterday for $1.37 at Rite Aid lol.

Nice, can't beat the price. I used bloom booster on my little plant. It made the buds grow like a mutha fucka, but it fucked up the fan leaves. Probably cause I hit them with a big fat dose right away instead of working it in slow.

lol yeah i use the small scoop at 3/4 strength.....if I go full strength I get brown tips sometimes

I am gonna try Dyna's advice. Thanks again for the input, guys. Wish me luck; I'll post some updates in the near future.

please do.....good luck bro. hope all goes well

Good luck, hope it turns out well for you

Alright, so I just fed each plant a gallon of water, with 1 tsp of Tiger Bloom, and 1 tsp of Big Bloom, and adjusted the pH to 6.5. I'll check them tomorrow and see how they react to the feeding.

If they show signs of burn, should I flush them with the Sledgehammer... or just straight up water? Or should I just let them be for a few days?

I don't even know wtf Sledgehammer is bro lmao....hold on imma look it up.......okay so I found it is a flushing agent.....yeah I would use it so you can REALLY get those nutes out of there......You are gonna want to sit there and water ALOT just to make sure you get most of the excess nutes out. I flush with regular water myself....I don't feed my plants that are in the ground because the dirt is so fertile they don't need it so I have never had to flush in the ground.....maybe somebody with experience in this department could be of better assistance

Haha, alright man. I'm so worried that I'm gonna burn my plants. I'm already regretting feeding them, rofl. Please be nice to my girls, nutes!

I think you will be ok, I have never used a flushing agent, just a lot of plain water for me. Just wait until tomorrow and check them. A little tip burn isn't gonna kill them.

Your words are reassuring.

I wish I would've reread your last post though. I was sure I remembered you saying start with 1 tsp of Tiger Bloom, but you actually said start with 1/2 tsp of it.. oops. But yeah, I'll keep you guys informed!

yeah I know guys who push the nutes to 2tsp per gallon until they get leaf tip burn ON PURPOSE....they get fat fuckin buds lol......I wouldn't recommend it.....leaf tip burn is acceptable imo

Good news! The ladies seemed to take to their nutes well! I'm gonna water them tomorrow, wait a day, and then feed them the same dosage of nutes that I fed them yesterday. I'm gonna do that for another week, and then I'm gonna up their dosage a little bit. Exciting times!
