Should Nutrients Be Used For Flower?

I have 4 photoperiod plants that are on 16th day of 12/12.
MG Soil
Throughout the entire grow I’ve never added any nutria/additives etc. just water and the occasional epsom salt.
Plants have made it this far & I’m just wondering if using nutes now would be beneficial to my yield.

Unless it's an all in one soil with added potash and phosphorus you'll want to use something to feed em. What's the NPK of that MG soil? Does it say if its "slow release"?

mg all purpose slow release granules are 17-9-11 npk, which are probably whats in your soil if you're using MG all purpose garden soil.

so first you should test ph (mix 1 tsp soil with equal water in a container, shake, leave for 24hr then ph test the water with eg. litmus paper).

if all good you can feed anything high in P & K (phosphorus and potassium). dont overdo it.

seaweed extract is great too and its also high in potassium (so reduce other nutes accordingly), its a great foilar feed and soil feed too as it feeds the beneficial microbes and contains natural plant hormones that apparently increase bud size

Yep, pics would help. At some point those time released MG granules will be used up and you'll need to feed them. I'd get a bag of Maxibloom or Megacrop 1 part nutrients-these are complete nutrients with adequate calcium and magnesium. If you don't have a TDS or PH pen, I'd give them 1/4 dose to start and go from there. I think the dosage recommendations via the "scoop" they come with are quite high, which is why I say 1/4 dose. I use a gram scale to measure them out then check the PPMs of the nutrient solution-you can start doing all that stuff if you get addicted to growing and want to continue. Good luck with your plants!

There's a few members on this forum who think it's their duty in life to harass and make fun of any new member or member who isn't a skilled grower. It's pretty embarrassing for the site to tell you the truth, it's why alot of people don't stay. This isn't directed at dank bongula.
Just ignore it and take the advise of some of the Good growers that actually try and help.
