Hey guys. Got a question for you. I'm new to all of this and since I've recently had a harvest, and have another one on the way, I figured I'd get some advice. We've learned a lot through this first round of growing and have received tons of help because of this site and the very informative people on it. But I have a question about fertilizing...I have a CFL based grow with about 13 cfl bulbs scattered throughout the reflective grow box (a $15 linen closet purchased from walmart and lined with reflective insulation) with a combined wattage of about 400W. I have three fans blowing at all times and have the lights on a 12/12 cycle. I'm using a mostly organic soil grow. The growing medium is a mixture of scotts poting soil, organic compost from our worm farm, perlite, bone meal, milorganite and miracle grow tomato food for veg. The bloom boosters we are using are Better Grow Orchid Bloom booster (11-35-15) for stage 1 of blooming and Green Light Super Bloom (12-55-6) for late stage blooming. She's in her 4th-5th week of bloom and she's doing very well. She's producing so many buds that the pictures don't do her any justice. We had a previous plant go hermie on us and produced a ton of seeds (built a new box and disrupted the light cycles of that particular plant severely) but this one is doing much better. (we harvested 4 oz off the other plant even though it seeded. still super fire 
) My question...is the green light super bloom too high in the phosphorus category? Seemed like my previous plants were all negatively affected by it in some way with moderate cases of rusty leaves and lockout. Should I just stick with the orchid bloom booster? Seems to be producing very nice buds. And how often should I be fertilizing and at what strength? Does the setup seem to be enough power for a plant of this size (very bushy)? Thanks guys for any helpful input! Happy Burning!
