Nitrogen during flowering. PK fertilizers do not have abundant nitrogen and during the early stages of flowering the nitrogen needs to be still supplemented.
They piss honeydew all over your leaves, and buds. You can spot them on the plant by locating water on leaves and white residue almost like hard water stain. You can flush them out by running your hand on the opposite side of the trunk and watching for them to bolt around towards you. From there...
Move the pot to the grass, but make sure it is a clean area.
The surface area of your concrete is much bigger than that of your pot.
The pot will act like a wick, for heat transfer out of the concrete.
When your roots get above a temperature threshold, they brown and die off inviting disease...
Bloom nutrients are lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus followed by potassium. When your plant goes into flowering, it takes mobile nutrients stored at the first branch site leaves and moves up the branch as it is needed. The lack of nitrogen and other essential nutrients in your bloom...
Keep in mind that Blood Meal use outdoors can result in possible unwanted junk foragers (raccoons, skunks), but can act as a mild scent repellant of mammalian foragers.
You want to increase the available nitrogen to the plant, at the same time as providing other basic mobile and immobile nutrients.
We also use molasses to sweeten and enrich Alfalfa meal teas. Our standard recipe for this use is:
4 gallons of water
1 cup of fine ground alfalfa meal
1 TBSP blackstrap or sugar beet molasses
After a 24 hour brew, this 100% plant-based fertilizer is ready for application. Alfalfa is a great...
Organic is a set of principles, not a style of soil.
Feed the microbes in your soil to keep them alive. Feeding them organic matter (fish emulsion) will make the microbes happy, making them poop and then the poop feeds your plant and keeps the ecosystem of your soil happy. Without feeding the...
Remember that every time you water the soil till it leeches out below, it leeches nutrients outside of the root-balls active area. This is both a good and a bad thing as it will not only remove excessive amounts of nutrients, but also causes a leeching of the mainly under available nutrient...
This is my routine and is done in connection with my nutrient regiment. Please exercise caution if attempting to mimic.
I foliar daily with Epsom salt/calCarb, 5-0-0 natures nectar, and then a wash at the end of the day. I do not use surfactants, instead I rely on an atomizer head on my pump...
You might also look into an earth worm casting (EWC) tea that will help supplement any other under available nutrients. But fish emulsion will boost the soil, just have to watch out as it will attract other wildlife that will want to dig it up.
The 5-1-1 is probably Alaska fish right? It should give you a nice kick, but use it at 1/4 strength and move up from there over your next few waterings.
