Re: Roseman's 2009 December Harvest
Roseman:
I have a question on Fertilizers.
I currently use a veg 3-1-5 and a bloom 2-2-6 with a xtra bud addon potash plus 18 % potash.
I read a quote from you that you wished you hadnt listened to or used fertilizer add ons or similar to that.
I wondered what you used in NPK ferts.
The 2nd part of the question was that I'm looking at a fully organic liquid fert which is
N=18.5
P=4.3
K=14.5
I'll pm you the make.
Would it be better to use something like this with a much stronger % of nutrients and also much cheaper than buy dual/triple bottles of other nutrients @ twice the cost.
I'm considering using a product silicia which is supposed to stack on plant tissue.
Ever used it?
I grow with Coco so should work with bubbles just faster with bubbles right?
Also with that stronger nute, I read how you found that nitrogen stoppped dying leaves.
Well, that products got a stack of nitrogen.....
I total misunderstood your PM and I'm not qualified to answer questions about coco growing.
I use cheap, pre-packaged, pre-mesured, pre pH balanced, NO brand named nutes :
GROW or VEG N-P-K 10-5-14
CALCIUM 6%, MAGNISUM 2%, SULPHUR 3%,
IRON .12%, MANGANESE .05%,
AND BORON, COPPER, CHLORIDE,
MOLYBDENUM, AND ZINC .01%
BLOOM or Flower N-P-K 5-15-14
(NOTE A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF NITROGEN IS STILL IN THERE)
CALCIUM 5%, MAGNESIUM 3.5%,
SULPHUR 4%, IRON .1%,
AND BORON, COPPER, CHLORIDE,
MOLYBDENUM, AND ZINC .01%
my comment about not liking additional nutes or supplements is because of the advertising, you know, "Use Whale Bloom and get buds as big a whales"
is jsut a scam to get you to buy more.
I like SIMPLE.
If the nutes you are using are worth using, then why add more to it?
And I can not see the logic in using an all purpose 3 in one nutes. The two distinct cycles of VEG and FLower need two different kinds of nutes.
and I can not see the need of ORGANIC nutes either for me, but it is a matter of preference.
