Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone could give me a little advice. Since I am using organic nutes and all my girls are taking very very well to my nutrients, would I be ok to add a little nutes this water? Last water I fed with nutes as well. Thanks guys

I water with nutes almost every water. Depending on the stage they are in is how I determine how much to give them. I have always found that organic nutrients tend to have less salt build up so constantly feeding them isn't so bad as long s you give them a good flush.

Thanks bird! I am about to water and will add nutes. Do you think I should back off on the nutrients a little? What mix of flower and bloom nutes should I do? Last time I did 10ml of grow and 5ml of bloom. Thanks so much, I know you know your sh*t!

My thought was to water with half strength grow and half strength bloom.. What do you guys think?

If you are in the second wee of 12/12 I would do 5 ml grow 10 ml bloom. Then 3rd week cut out the grow and use straight bloom. Not sure what brand you are using, but usually the grow and bloom nutes consist of the same ingredients just at different N-P-K levels. When using organics I usually find one day a week that I always do a watering without any nutes. No matter what, I always water that day.

I get lost with All the labels...

My advise is to learn the N-P-K...

Problems solved...

I eye ball everything!!!

Never use the recommended mL per gallon... Always Over kill... I start with 20-30% less than whats on label until plants are vigorous...
If using additives in addition to your base nutrient you should always cut your base nutrient down by 20-40%
98% of the time folks over NUTE their crop!!!

Further, if changing nutrient lines I would cut down to 20-30% less than what the label says to add to a gallon...

It is very hard if not impossible to over nute your plants when using organics. NPK levels are very important but IMO where they are derived from are even more important when regarding organics. Synthetic nutes yes, cut those babies in half, but with organics I feed until I see my plants can't handle it anymore. Some strains I have given as strong as 2.5x the recommended amount without seeing the slightest burn.

i find that nutrient regimens are very personal and it is best to find out what works for you. try different things (within a reasonable range) and see what is easiest for you, gives the best results and is within your budget. just watch the plants and see how they react. you must have a green thumb by the health of your plants so just keep an eye on them and do what you think they need. one thing i would be doing now is lollipopping or removing all the lower growth. the lower budsites will not develop very well and those sites should be removed during week 2-4 of flower. this is what i usually do especially when i have the plants packed in pretty tight. or you could just leave them and see how they develop for yourself. you will have more "popcorn" but it may come in handy if you plan on making hash, bho, or edibles. if you want mainly big hard colas then trim the lower growth. keep us updated i am eager to see how your shit starts popping in weeks 4-6, thats when the majority of bud development happens. i am a little jealous of you actually seeing as this is your first grow and you get to see the buds grow before your eyes for the first time. never gets old for me but nothing is like the first complete grow.

This is actually exactly what I did before I had a chance to see your post! I think I need to start following my instincts more often. Right now I am still at that stage where I second guess myself and feel like I need to make sure I am correct before I actually do it, and then my instinct is almost always right! Lol.. I am using Roots Organic buddha grow&bloom. Grow: 2-0.5-0.25 and Bloom: 0.5-2-1

I am super excited to see the start of buds! I do want to take a second to thank everyone here for the help. I have asked so many questions and I like that I don't feel like I "bothered" any of you! I will definitely keep everyone updated and probably some new pictures tonight :weed: I have a feeling they will look really good after that watering :)

I have used roots organics before. They are good overall nutes but in my opinion they lack nitrogen in the bloom. I've noticed good results when mixing the two throughout the bloom stage. It got kinda pricey for the way I grow so I moved on but always had great results in quality :)
