Hey so I’m in week four of flowering and just purchased the flora nova (picture below) I have been using the three part GH in this grow. HERES THE DUMB QUESTION. Do I use the flora nova in addition to the GH three part or just the flora nova? I’ve read use both at half speed or just use the flora nova at full amount. Also next dumb question who feeds at every watering???? I always thought you should feed every 3rd or 4th watering??? Thanks and sorry for being annoying!!!

stick to the trio its a tried and true method. are you in coco?

you could also use just flora nova bloom alone

ok then you probably don't want to nuke organic soil with salt ferts that being said since you already have id follow a feed water feed water feed schedule to avoid excess salt build up

true organics will feed a micro herd of tiny organisms thats eat the organic waste in your soil and feed the plant, using bottled nutrition requires attention to PH of your feed water 6.5 is ideal

you can decide what approach works for you, feeding the micro herd or watching your salts , both achieve the same goal essentially

search Organics for "super soil recipes" or "no-til" if you truly want to not worry about ph or bottles but you will always need to buy amendments these ammendments are basically what you have in liquid form in your bottles, the difference is the bottles contain nutrients the plant can uptake instantly

Okay I will thanks!!! I have also had a consistent issue in all my grows with around week 3-4 in flower almost all my fan leaves and small five finger leaves turning yellow and falling off. I know yellowing in flower is somewhat normal but this is very aggressive. Should I hit with more nitrogen?????

at week 4 no but during the first 3 weeks of flower stretch it will need N then it will taper off , I prefer 1:3:4 ratio NPK for week 4 flower and 1:2:2 veg ->early flower

you should start researching how all the ratios interact since your using the trio and have total control , or if this becomes challenging fear not you can always try organics and let the herd do the math
