nute question??? +rep

[HERBAL ADDICT]

ok how do people,,

im a little confused,,

i hav had to swich to 12/12 this week but my flowering nutes aint here for another 10days,, ive been using bio canna vega for a veg nute
(its shit not enough N ,plants kept getting defficiant) npk 3.5/1/5.5

i just got a little bottle of cheep nutriants from town,, i thout it might do me until my biobizz selection gets here..

it says flowering nutriant

this is what confuses me=

it says NPK ferlilizer 4/20/10 with trace elements

then underneeth it says

nitrogen 0.4%
phosphorus 2.02%
potassium 1.01%
does this mean the npk is 0.4/2.02/1.01 ?????

mg 0.23%
fe 0.02%
cu 0.001%
b 0.0006%

so what npk is it?? im confused??

i thought if i did it half strength it mite be npk 2/10/5
if the full npk was really 4/20/10,,

any help on this matter deserves some rep as i havent got a scooby

is correct, i use all canna soil/nutes...but not their bio range , thats is poor.

 

[GoldenGanja13]

Now I am confused? But I do give my ladies veg nutes for first 2 weeks in 12/12.

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

yea them bio canna range are pure spaggage, ripoff,, like double the price of bio bizz,,
i would continue to use the veg nute for the first 12 days of 12/12 if my veg nute wasnt so shit..
my plants use the nutes in 3days and they only need watering once a week, so im getting 3days of good growth then 4 days of deffincencys if u get me?

with the new nute whats confusing me is is says npk 4/20/10 then underneeth it says

n 0.4%
p 2.02%
k 1.01% so is it 4/20/10 or 0.4/2.02/1.01 ????????????????????????????????

im using the canna terra pro+ soil aswell


also where in the uk can i get magnesium sulphate (epsom) ??

From what I've read and gathered, lowering the N during flowering is mostly to help taste. If your plants are showing N def early in flowering , give them some. (a blood meal tea is pretty much nothing but N. Nature's Nectar has a line of individual nutes)

dude, i think youv worked it out rite.
also, a blood meal tea sounds look like a good idea.

ive got npk 8/1/1 guano wich i make a brew with for my N boosts,

even though a veg nute should have enough N so that u shouldnt get defficent the bio canna dosent

4/20/10 and .4/2.02/1.0 are the same thing, it's a ratio. Half strength will be the same ratio of npk.

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

why does it say n 0.4% and n 4,, shal i just assume its 4/20/10 like it states and ignore the n p and k percentages?

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

4/20/10 and .4/2.02/1.0 are the same thing, it's a ratio. Half strength will be the same ratio of npk.

im still confused if they both ratios,,

cos if i feed 4/20/10 that is stronger than 0.4/2.02/1.0 aint it

thats fine for flowering. and that is the NPK the last two numbers are your flower numbers. the 1st number is for growth. but you do need to keep an even ballance.

 

[Hedgehunter]

the normal canna range is expensive but second to none imo , i use the lot , veg ,bloom, rizotonic , cannazyme , pk13/14 ,boost acc, and flush in canna pro soil.

their site has a very handy nute calculator.

[herbose]

Yes, assume it's 4/20/10. The more important thing is to know the EC or TDS. If you dilute it you'll still have the same ratio on npk, just a lot less nutrients.

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

so a half strength mix of 4/20/10 wil be like feeding them a 2/10/5 nute? does that sound fine then until i get my biobizz stuff?

or shud i use a bit off nitrogen guano in the mix aswell?

my plants eat nitrogen like no strain ive ever grown

i cant test ec or tds

 

[Hedgehunter]

canna pro soil does have N in , how big are the plants ?

i know, ive seen some good results with canna coco & canna terras but the bio canna isnt half as good as biobizz,, ive now used both and biobizz whoops bio canna,,

ill still be using pk13/14 but thats it,,

lets face it canna shud of left the bio nutes to biobizz,, instead of charging stupid prices for nutes that fallshort,,

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

my plants eat all the N in canna soil in less than a week,, PLANTS ARE 3.4 FOOT TALL

If i gave them 4/20/10 nute full strength would it fuck them up..

 

[Hedgehunter]

its not ideal at this stage of growth.

 

[HERBAL ADDICT]

its not ideal at this stage of growth.

so half strength it is then,, cheers people,

just looked at the canna nute calculater and is says the first 2 week of 12/12 i shud be using alot more than the stated full dose,, well why the fuck dosent it say that on the bottle!!!!!
so full dose aint really full dose the lying bastards,,,,

thanx ppl
