Nute newb

[Jystone420]

So i am growing a plant to train myself for the couple sprouts of PPP i just planted
and the "training" plant is about to its 6th tier and i was thinking of starting to add nutes to it, ive never used any before and was wondering if there are just some basic nutes to start. or if i should wait till i see a problem and keep em all Nature-al

Any info on nutes in general would be appreciated
tnx

I usually start with a lower dose than what is called for on the bottle when they are young and then work them up to more nutes. you don't want to wait until there is a problem that could stunt the plant. cause slow growth. I wait to water until I see the leaves starting to droop a little bit not to the point where you see problems. So start with a small dose and work your way up. IMO it is easier to correct a slight over fert than fixing a lack of.

in early stages i like to just use some fish emulsion till they get a little older.

I would strongly encourage you to check out some books about growing:

Marijuana Horticulture
Guide to Hydroponics

Both with help you with your basic questions as well as with your nute questions.

I personally use Advanced Nutrients for my grows, though it sounds like you have a lot less to work with right now, so you probably only need a portion of what a grower like me might use.

I use: Sensi A&B Grow
Sensi A&B Bloom
Voodoo Juice
Big Bud
B-52
Overdrive

But you can probably get away with something like Grow-Micro-Bloom in small amounts.

Go to www.advancednutrients.com. Really, they have a nutrient calculator and tons of info about their stuff.
