Hey guys!!

i live in Kenya and i finally found NPK nutrients..

i got a ratio of 12-10-8 (N-P-K)

here is how the back label of the bottle reads:

So the label says i should use it on 14 day intervals.. but i am growing micro in a party cup in a micro-grow environment. To do this i must supply nutrients on a daily basis so as to stop the roots from running out of space.

Should i mix 50ml in 20ltrs of water and since my grow area is around 10cm x10cm x15cm(height) i approprirately measure it and continue to apply it every 14 days? will this prevent the roots from finding the space too small?

last time my plants died of over fertlizing and i dont want that to happen again

Can anyone help me out and let me know how much is should mix and feed to my plant on a daily basis if i have this nutrient brand?

i am unable to get any other marijuana specific nutrients where i reside.

Thank you so much for any help!
With your guidance i want to start growing like a pro :P

How will supplying nutrients everyday keep the roots from filling the cup?
 
My guess is that the idea more than feeding every day is to water so soil never dries too much, sending roots in search of water.

Given that you overnuted last time, I would ponder only using hte nutes once a week or so and just water the rest of the time.
 
Thanks so much fro your replies!

So growindad if i just use normal water everyday and use a 50% strength solution once a week it will still give me a good yield in such a small cup?

Thanks a lot bro!
 
I am not saying that. First off, nothing you do will get a "good yield" for a plant out of a party cup. You have experts doing it for fun, not max yield.

I also would not want to water everyday. I like to dry my plants out and you risk overwatering, root rot, etc. I was just saying the only reason I could see for doing it in a party cup. If doing it, my guess would be to use a very airy soil - lots of perlite - and add just enough water daily to keep it damp without being wet. Maybe even bottom feed or something.

But I am not a party cup grower....
 
if your interested in yield a party cup is just not going to cut a good yield . i prob throw away more trim than you would get from a party cup
