Yo jonny! So, the seaweed: I went to the seasol site to see if there were any instructions, even though I am sure that you have already done this. But this is how things look:these are my babies after about 5 days flowering; i keep having to raise the lights, theyre really starting to shoot up. i can see pre-flowers they are too small for me to tell. i tried taking photos of them but my camera is too shit with close ups
off to get some flowering fert and new pots tomorrow
any1 know if i should use this 'seasol' on my plants
here is the info
Active Constituent: Seaweed extract which contains naturally occurring growth stimulants, potassium and trace elements. Equivalent to not less then 700g/litre of fresh seaweed. Seasol is a plant conditioner, not a nitrogen based fert. It contains virtually no nitrogen or phosphorus.
If i do use it, then how much should i use? all it says on the back is "9 litres diluted mixture covers approx. 2-4 square metres. what about three pots?
All measurements are given in terms of 9L water, and, as you said, are meant to cover 2-4 square meters. Let's say (and you'd have to do the math yourself as I have no idea what size containers you ended up getting) you have 1 sq. m., as this is easily cut in half if it's too large.
They say at seasol that roses should get up to 50ml/9L, and palms, accustomed to getting a little less water, are usually at around 30ml, up to 40. I would personally go with the larger number, as roses, although a bush, are probably not getting as much light as your plants and are therefore unable to go through the nutrients as fast. I would recommend the rose dose as a starter. So: they say that you're wanting a dilluted mixture of around 5.5ml/L (50/9) and that one liter will cover between .2 and .4 square meters. So 11ml/2L should cover, at most, .8 sq. m. For three plants, that should be plenty of water depending on the size of the containers. I would guess that this liquid, mixed in to a regular fertilizer regimen (although it could be tested on its own or just with molasses if you're hesitant to possibly overfeed) would suit your needs just fine. Let me know how it works out. your babies are looking good.
good luck with ur grow though.
