I use some cha ching when Iām feeling lazy but I mostly give it some potassium tea made from bananas dried and powdered and black strap molasses. Along with a big shot of pure cane sugar water every other black strap feeding

No matter how much I read about nutrients, none of them really tells me how often I should give them to my plants, especially since they are in potting soil. I keep being told that soil has all the nutes the plants need for the first 3 weeks, but then go on to say feed nitrogen when vegging. So, I just went and bought some fish fert 5-1-1 for vegging, but I donāt know how often Iām supposed to give it to them. If they need water twice a week, then everytime? Or just one time a week after the 3 weeks of new soil? This is definitely where I break down
Iām definitely going to listen in when it not so late thanks for this info!

Basically feed when the plant needs itā¦ I know its not easy at the beginning but eventually you get the hang of itā¦ if youre not too sure then you can feed at a really really low strength every waterā¦ or you can try half strength once a weekā¦ all depend on climate tbh. ā¦ so hard to tell from not being where you areā¦ when youāre ready to flowerā¦ you keep on your nitrogen feed for a week or soā¦ itās called the transitionā¦ you start adding more of the p and K and start weaning off the Nā¦ after 3.weeks of flower you should be off the N almost all together. I donāt use any bottle nutes but if I did id do a basic 2.1.2 feed through veg and a little into flower while flower youād want to transition to a 0.1.2 or 0.2.2 npk. . Hope Iām not confusing you lol

Lol you want to watch the coyteldons. . .The first round sprout leaves. . .when they start to die a shrivel up you know your little one is hungry. . .it used the energy from the coyteldons to fuel itās growth. . . .usually about 3 weeks give or take. . . After that I half strength feed for first feeding. . . Then full strength it after 4 days or so. . . And do feedings once every week

Fish emulsion kelp and molasses is a good mixā¦ I make home made fish emulsion and feed with kelp and molasses through veg ā¦ works great for meā¦ just make sure you start weak and build up to where you feel comfortable
