Make llfe easy. Save #1 (the Fox Farm) and give the rest to somebody for their flowers. Also could use some Fox Farm Big Bud.

im barely in veg cycle. my lil plants are like 1-2 weeks old. so i should just use the fox farm and superthrive?
and is 6-4-4 better than 12-6-6?

hi crick.. Start with a diluted portion.. and see how your plants react... obviously PH your water.. : )... I would use the 12-6-6... but Fox Farm is getting mad love from growers these days

what size are your pots...??

how do your leaves look? green.. any browning of the tips?

cheers

Hello mr beetle,

If your tips are brown (necrotic) and the leaves are dark green? It is most likely over fertilizing... If you post a pic in a new threa! I will tell you for sure... In the mean time... Stop feeding.mm just use properly ph ed water...

Darkness can not exist in light

Love

thanks for the link.. You have a plant that looks like it is being over watered and maybe a bit rootbound.. definitley not enough light for how tall it is..

but it is a fantastic first grow and I am going to guess that you are working with minimal resources..

you should start a thread in the GMG forum.., post pics.. ask questions... people like following other peoples gardens

What is the gmg forum. yea i figured they had to much water they are just in miracle grow soil. they are outside and i have minmal area. root bound? what is this

Maybe they are not root bound.. maybe it is just over watering.. "root bound" occurs when plants are watered incorrectly or the plant has out lived its container.. which is expidited do to poor watering technique...

or the container maybe to small....

and the roots start to suffoctae each other...

cheers

spray feed Elanors VF-11 and root feed a mixture of Elanors VF-11 and Superthrive, Superthrive is not a fertilizer but a very well formulated mix of 50 minerals and trace elements , you can use Elanors through veg also,mix it with Mir Acid 30-10-10 and Superthrive for roots and spray mixing Elanors and Mir acid.Everyone has different opinions because there some good products out there. After 35 years of gardening ,I know that is a really good recipe,well good luck,

If you continue to have signs of nute burn or even if you don't I agree with this advice 100%. You cannot force feed plants and with this being your first grow you are almost guaranteed better results if you don't get all complicated and just use one thing or that and big bud. One thing to get right is a lot easier.

I'm sure this sounds really lame and you won't want to give all that stuff up, but odds are you will yield better. Too much shocks plants bad and stunts growth, potentially to a standstill.

gk is correct about diluting but go to mir acid 30-10-10 and mix with
Elanors vF-11 15-85-55 and dilute it and feed a little at first and they will do what you want them to do.
