Im hoping some of you more exp. growers can help me out. I just transplanted my girls into their final pots. I took them off the 12/12 sched as soon as i learned their sex. Now that they are going to be vegging a bit longer, I really need some help w/a nutrient regimin- ive read the faqs, but i need a simplified version. i think they need more N & P while vegging and more P & K while flowering. Im afraid to give them anything at this point bc Im so confused.I planted at the end of April. they are 54 days today. I have got bone meal, epsom salt, hydrogen peroxide,alaska fish emulsion and miricle grow plant food. Can someone please advise on how to feed, or what i can use on them now, in the veg state?do i feed them the nutes seperately? Is an 1/8 if a tbs of each to a gallon of water too much? pls help! :confused::confused::confused:

Your making this harder than it should be,remember what you learned about applying ferts to the vegatative cycle,the same would apply to your current situation,just because you induced flowering to show sex does not mean they need any special regime of nutrients,go back to the basics asap,feed them ferts that are high in nitrogen content until its time to bud,then go on a regime of flowering nutrients.

Also try to simplify your nutrients,stay away from multiple packages of different nutrients,being a new grower your best bet is to stick with simple fertilizers that contain the levels of nutes you need & that also include micro nutes,micro nutes are extremely important,use one type fert for veg & another type for bud,get rid of the epsom salt & bone meal & get an all in one fert like peters 20-20-20 for veg,mix 1/2 strength & feed the plants,use half strength for the 1st few feedings then increase each feeding until you reach full strength,use this method to allow your plants time to adjust to the ferts both in veg & in bud,use peters 10-30-20 for bud & add some molasses once they start showing good sized buds,peroxide is ok but keep the levels low.

Most miricale grow ferts are extremely low in npk content & fish emulsion is just as low in content,i use emulsion but only for seedlings & clones,after that they need stronger ferts.
