Their both looking good so far considering UK Weather(and their owner) lol...

Hello to you all on RIU.
After nearly killing both my Girls with too strong a mix of Bicarb & Liquid Soap they are now looking so much more healthier and it`s all thanks to all the Great advice that i`ve had from some lovely people here .
I have a couple of questions and a picture update for you if you could spare a few minutes and some of your Vast Knowledge kiss-assand Expertise...
First of all i`ve been using these two Fert`s
alternating them each feeding time (water, red fert, water, blue fert, water) and so on.
Is that ok ? Both girls seem to be ok with this at the moment but will it be ok to continue this into Flowering ? ( i have No Buget for any more fert`s).
I`ve also been LSTing and Fimming and wondered if it was correct or do i need to change any of it ?View attachment 1691671View attachment 1691672 They are both 9 Weeks and 3 Days Old today but i`m still not sure if they Are girls Yet ? I have taken a clone of of each and put them under 12/12 cfl 4 days ago so time will tell.
But here is a few more pic`s just in case you can tell better than i can.
Many thanks for any Help & Advice you might offer. +Rep to the best

Happy Growing Everyone

from what i see they look like females! gorgeous ones! good job

You're probly gonna want to increase the % of phosphorous as you get into flowering. Those two ferts are pretty similar to each other (NPK ratios roughly the same)...and both are relatively low in P. Maybe add some high P bat guano to the ferts you already have...or some other, even cheaper source of P (don't know one offhand, but I'm sure there's some).

Then again, I've grown some pretty decent bud with just Miracle Grow formula (the cheap blue powdered stuff) used throughout veg and bloom, without any other additives...so you could probly get away with using what you have. You might not get as high of a yield without adding some P, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it would be.

My advice would be to search around on the web for some ideas for cheap (like, free) natural sources of P for plants, and add a little more every few weeks to your nute solution once flowering starts. If you really can't afford (or find) some, I wouldn't worry too much about it, your plants will still produce flowers for you (if they're female, that is).

Thank you xebeche and Andrew. I was wondering about only having a low Phosphorous on both bottles and how to get around it ? I`ve been making a Tea with all the leaves from my Fruit & Veg that i`m growing 15Ltr`s of it. It`s been 2 weeks since i started it and it Stinks so Foul it would make you sick from 100 yards away lol.... Should i dilute some of that for flowering or maybe use it now for vegging ? If not i`ll have to start searching the net and riu for some answers

Not sure what you'll end up with in that tea you're making. No doubt it's got plenty of organic goodness for your plants...but as to how much of the individual nutrients, it's probly anyone's guess. I still think the easier route would be to add some phosphorous source to the nute solution you're using now. Rock phosphate and bat guano are the usual P sources for gardeners with a few bucks to spend. If you wanna go cheap, though, maybe just some Coca Cola. It contains P in the form of phosphoric acid, so it will lower the pH of your nute solution (and might necessitate adding yet another additive if it makes the pH too low). Honestly, though, you can probly get some hi P bat guano for not a lot of money. You won't need much, and ten bucks or so (US $) would buy you enough for multiple grows.

Thank you xebeche for your help I would never have though about using Cola for the Phosphorous content... I don`t think i want to poison my girls anymore with the rest of the additives that are in it though lol.... I think i`ll have to save my small change and go and Buy some Proper Fert`s for the job as i`ve done well so far and don`t want to undo the good work that i`ve done. I`ve always been a Professional Plant Killer and i`d like to change that if possible Plus i can always use it on my Fruit & Veg that are also doing well. Rep+ coming your way my friend, Thank you...
