Hey,
just like the title says. I have tomato plant food 5-10-10 and I don't how long the food takes to brake down and give the plants nuts. I have taken the time and grind the plant food to a dust like (powder) plant food.

can this hurt my plants? I'm in the flowering stage 4th day now. i just have been giving them water but i know they need more.

any info will help.

I use liquid tomato plant food and if you want to see what my stuff looks like just look in my bud pics post.

As to grinding up solid nutes you must check first to see if it a slow release food because if it is you will most likely kill your plants from doing it as the feed is designed to dissolve slowly over a period of time grinding it up will possibly and probably make it dissolve far to quickly and either kill your plant or make it nute burnt:blsmoke:

If they were large lumps then they are slow release.
There are many products out there,the only ones that i have ever used is miracle grow and tomorite so i cant recommend any of the others as i haven't used them before.

I have had great results with these products but if you want a more advanced nutrient then you'll have to ask around a bit more:blsmoke:

Tomorite is really good, cheap food and CAN be used all the way through. For cheap flowering nutes use a rose bloom food-many brands all widely available and low cost.

Money. Big Man Nutes, Big Man Money. Not everyone can afford it, esp plus P+P if there is no Hydro store local.

I have used only one type of tomato food on ganja plants...MG tomato fert. (18-18-21)
If not used in too strong of a dilution it works fine. 1/4 to 1 tsp per gallon of water depending on environmental conditions. I used it for veg stage only.
It is very inexpensive and will certainly produce fat sticky potent buds.
I always flushed the soil thoroughly one week or so before harvest...the buds taste great. I think problems arise with chemicals ferts due largely to using too much, in too strong of a dilution.
I would not claim that the MG is optimum, but it is truly effective.

I got the idea to use MG tomato a long time ago in a grow book by Jorge Cervantes... (If I remember correctly around '83 or '84?)

I don't agree with DWR. At all. It's been around a lot longer than these fat arsed Chav trendy over priced fetish object wank juice "specialist " "Pro" "Budzilla" wallet fucks dreamed up by old hippies to rip off young fools.
And I bet a fucking million £'s, not $'s that DWR can't tell the diference between butter and margerine, let alone Nutes in a smoke.

LOL...That is a tad on the harsh side! Hahahah.
I agree with psyclone...marijuana does not need expensive specialty nutes!
Slick marketing and uber-hype have lots of growers believing otherwise.

Yeah go ahead and eat margarine you noob....

I'd rather stick with butter... Better price... and oh yeah, its healthier ! NExt time u want to come at me like that you better state something all i heard was u whining cuz of the high pric'd shit thats actually better than tomato nutrients....

So go ahead and feed your plants the margarine whilst I feed mine the butter.....

Go and read about it dude... and then you'll see that Margrine is Tomato shit and butter is " the stuff your hating on *

Anyways i did overdo it with the shit weed.... but i just dont like it...
Maybe you do.... You like margerine i like butter :P

You lost you fucking Million £ or $ or Euros whatever....

Now go and ask a little kid what the diff. is then you might feel superior in there presence

Come off it mate, these things have only been around comparatively recently.
How do you think we managed before then?
And do not tell me that grass now is stronger than it was. It is not. If your a good grower you might get near the Colombian Gold, Thai Sticks, Durban poison, Jamaican Ganja and good African Weed that was freely available when I was helling around.
I grow in cow shit and tomato ferts outside-you would not tell me my weed tastes of cow shit. From a fall in a meadow I know it doesn't.
