so i just have a question about the nutes i've been using, every journal i read people are adding nutes to their water, but the nutes i bought tell me to spread it on top of the soil, did i buy the wrong type of nutes? since it has CTR i only add nutes once every three waterings...and also is this an adequate npk for the veg state?

I wouldn't say that you bought the wrong ones. Well let me think yeah you did buy the wrong nutes. Soil feeding would supply the soil. With nutes every time you water, causing your plant to cause a nute lock and all kinds of hell. If you are gonna still use it I would use 1/2 strenght first and then maybe the next watering add to the dosage. I've used those kinds of nutes before, and they can be somewhat tricky. I would say to buy different nutes, but if you wanna stay with what you have use small doses otherwise it could turn ugly!!!

i'm gonna switch to flower in two weeks so i will probably only use them one more time then i'm gonna get something that is better for flowering 10-20-10, and i'm gonna search every inch of home depot to find superthrive,or what's that other one blossom bloom or something, i'll look for it on here shouldn't hard to find the name

before i bring my plants into the flowering stage, i wanted to do one final transplant, i'm going from a 4.75L pot to a 11.89L pot...is it possible to do this without destroying the first pot? if not what is the best way to transplant?

I don't know if you live in the U.S. or not. Have you ever tried Jack's Classic (20-20-20) and Jack's Blossom Booster (10-30-20) ? They are both really good and cheap as well. You can 1.5 pounds each of Jack's Classic and Blossom Booster for $12.58.

i did my research for flowering, so i was looking and blossom bloom with the right npk...and there were only two at my home depot, the first one was 15-15-15, so i def passed on that one, and went with the miracle grow one

Well, if that's the best you can get I guess it should be fine. I don't recommend it personally as it can make your bud harsh tasting as it is a synthetic fertilizer. Make sure you give her a good flush before harvest.

yes, i am trying to avoid any harsh tastes. i'm going to stop using nutes and flush 3 weeks from harvest
