Thanks heaps guys for all the info, i had germination success My next question is what is the best thing to feed them with..atm im just using seasol but if there is something better i would love to give it a go. As i said i have only grown indoor, and may moons ago so this is all new to me. I have spread the love and given afew friends seeds, but i want mine to be the best

Seasol isnt plant food

 

 

Help me to help you.

 

What strain are you growing, what medium are you using(perlite, coco, dwc), what lights(cfl, HID, the "beloved"...*snort* led panel.)?

 

What light cycle are you on? 12/12, 18/6, 20/4, 24/0??

 

How far into growth are you??

 

 

Also pictures work miracles, you should put some up.

All the info you asked for Capt, is on the previous page... does she really have to repeat it all again before you can say like "they need something with more macro nutrients than Seasol"?

 

Ang3l, if the plants are in containers of potting mix and the botttom leaves on the plants have begun to yellow - it is time to begin feeding. Seasol is a seaweed extract preparation, it is good for soil conditioning and supplying trace elements but doesn't contain the major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) the plant needs once the nutrients in the potting mix are exhausted.

 

There are two ways of supplying your plants with nutrients. One way is to repot the plant into a bigger pot of fresh potting mix, the other is to use soluble nutrients, eg. add the nutrients to water and then apply to the plant. If you go this way it is a good idea to add some dolomite lime to the potting mix before planting.

 

Fish emulsion is a simple and inexpensive way to add soluble nutrients to potting mix. Something like Seasol's Power Feed or Charlie Carp will do the job well without draining your purse. Available at supermarkets, hardware and garden stores.

On the other hand, if you have planted your plants directly into the earth there may be no need to feed them anything extra.... unless, of course, the plants have a lot of yellowing leaves and then you can either feed soluble nutrients as above, or use a slow release pelletised fertiliser like dynamic lifter, or a mixed release formula like Thrive 'Shake and Feed'... although you need to be careful not to overdo mixed release fertilisers.

 

In any case - Always read the instructions on the packaging and do not exceed specifed doses.

 

All the best for flowering, lou

I'll admit I didn't give it a proper read through as I should have.

 

Outdoor.

 

Doesn't say food or medium, yes, outdoor does account for light hours.

 

in soil

 

What louise suggested for food would be good. When you get to the bloom period, maybe try out Manutec Bloom Booster, lots of folks have recommended it, I've tried it out with no ill effects

Awesomeness..thanks guyz..i had planned on using fish emulsion, but i was worried it might be too strong for leaf spraying, and someone gave me some seasol and i thought it might be less harsh for regular use.

I raised them in peat pots and now have them in good potting mix, the soil here is disgusting

And ta about the bloom booster as of course budding under lights is very different...Cheers

[swallow]

Thanks everyone...this just answered a tonne of questions for me too!

Cheers

You really don't need to spray anything on the leaves.

[Lov3lyAng3l]

Great thanks! One more question, is daily foliar feeding too much??
