Need nutrition help fast

[CharlesDavis]

Apologies if this is naive advice, but I keep a daily log book on my grows with entries for "observation" and "actions" (e.g. fed x soluntion at y ppm without pre-water). You can then go back and see where things went south and avoid mistakes in the future. It also helps keep track of what particular strains like when growing multiple strains. Over time you will develop a system (e.g. choice of nutes, soil preparation and feeding schedule) that work consistently for you.

Yeah that was one of the mistakes I made this is like I said my very first grow and there are about a hundred and fifty mistakes that I've made that I know better than to do the next time I'm just trying to get as they say all my ducks in a row before my next grow when I started this one I had nothing more than one 4 foot fluorescent light I have work my way up in the last 4 months to get what I've got a thousand watt HPS light and a 6-inch fan with a 16 inch carbon filter so now that I got the lighting I just need to figure out the ( easy stuff ) lol. And I thought about a journal about two months into the Grove but I figured with as many things I've done wrong already I'll wait until my next grow to start one

XTSHO would it just be possible for me to take a clipping off of the smaller plants to start me a new clone that way it would be ready to put under the big light when my other ones are finished flowering from the way I understand it I can get my seedlings started under my LED fluorescent light and then put them under my HPS light but the question is I guess do you think it would work so I can start over with him smaller to do the screen of green

And just all of you thanks for all the help you are giving me and not found on me too bad I'm sure a couple of you are sitting back laughing saying you dumbass lol but thanks all the same happy token

One part nutrients are everything in one part.
Two part nutrients are split into two usually a grow and bloom where you use both but more grow during veg and more bloom during flower.
Three part nutrients are split into three parts. Typically one part for nitrogen, one part for micronutients and one part for potassium and phosphorous. You mix them in different quantities depending on the plants stage of growth.

one, two, and three part nutrients will all typically supply everything a plant needs to grow.

Additives and boosters are things that people use to supplement their grow. They have names like bud blaster, cha ching, silica blast, etc... and are not intended as a main source of plant nutrition. Until you've mastered a couple of grows it's best to keep things simple and stick with just the base nutrients.

Promix HP already has perlite in it so if you add more it's good to use the chunky perlite not the fine.

Just off the top of my head
2 parts promix
1 part perlite
1 part worm castings
1 part compost

But why not keep it simple for now and just buy some Happy Frog or other good quality ready to go soil?

Which Happy Frog soil medium would you recommend they've got a couple different ones as far as I can tell

 

[Newgrower4now]

If I was to use Happy Frog would I need to add any perlite or any amendments to it

Is the Flora Nova okay to use for soil and not hydroponic I do not use a hydroponic setup I am using a soil medium? And which Flora Nova product would I use from start to finish they have several different products if you could point me in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated as of I do not have a lot of money to spare and all of my spare money has gone into this and I would hate to lose it all

Floranova is for hard water, do you have hard water?

I agree you've got some kind of soil and or pH issue going on, you need to reassess, also I would follow directions for 'when to feed what' exactly on the back of your nutrient bottle, as I agree that's likely what you've got off balance

however I would use say 50% strength or even less going forward right now, in fact you're going to need a lot of plain pH adjusted flushing to straighten that issue out before you start feeding again imo

Put in as much info as you can, your medium, what you're feeding, pH & all that 411 for best results

^ I would follow all the information this poster has given you in this whole thread for best results, including Mega crop you can get a big free sample for just $3 shipping! Great reviews, I'm starting to use it this week on a few sample plants

Its a common error to make when switching to 12/12 many also switch up their nutrients, but you have to transition your nutrients not just a cold switch

If I was to use Happy Frog would I need to add any perlite or any amendments to it

No

Can I use ff big bloom 1/2 dose?plants are only two weeks in happy frog soil looking great jut fimed and topped. I got the megacrop crop mutes but I was told not to use any nite for the first month or two in that soil. But isn’t big bloom more of a supplement? Any advice much appreciated thanks

There is no reason to feed those plants anything right now. That Happy Frog soil will keep them happy for awhile.

 

[Ziggyman22]

Got it much appreciated! Again lol

 

[xtsho]

Got it much appreciated! Again lol

Just let them grow. Plain water only for a couple weeks. Happy Frog soil will keep those plants happy.
