Small town,limited supplies.quick grab nutes for flower,"Cactus Plant Food",2-7-7.??

Just wondering if this will work for food through flower,been rushing to try and find good bloom fert but it's a few hours away.I'm new but the numbers seem right.no?????2-7-7...does it matter that it's cactus food????It's got all the micros as well...

that will be fine, unless its time released.... plants are universally the same, all requiring basically the same nutrients, but in different ways. Tomato plant food usually has more P in it though.

ohhh,It may be time released,I will check in the morning.I saw quite a bit of tomatoe fert but was all high in nitrogen.I read that lower numbers all together could be better...2-7-7 rather than like 10-20-20 or something,dont know just lack of option and low nitrogen,seemed good.

lower numbers are good if your not experienced with adding nutes. High concentrations can easily destroy your plant or stunt it badly. Thats why if your new at it (like I am), its better to use lower concentrations until you get the feel for what your plant is asking for.

If it is time-released, you can dissolve it in some hot water (use how it says mix on the package). Then in another container, add 1/4 of your nutrient solution to 3/4 water and feed that way, so that you dont burn up ur babies.

awesome...thanx!I have actually (through veg) been giving them half of the recommended dose(24-8-16) as I am scared of burning them and they are doing awesome.I gave them a good flush with clean water before I introduce the new nutes and plan on the same routine.they don't seem like they are starving so....trial and error I guess.....If it's time released then your measurments here seems appropriate...thanx again.

np man, a lil rep never hurt anybody!

10-20-20 just means 1-2-2....
2-7-7 is relatively close to 1-3-3

1-3-2 is a suitable stand alone fert for Flowering cannabis.
you should have decent results. just dont over fertilize, start with 1/2 the recommended dosage and work your way up depending on how your plants react.

ahhh I see....makes sense....thanks guys!
