Can compost burn cannabis?

Can compost burn cannabis? Im not sure if I'm calling it right
In my country we have, Fertilizzante, and concime.

Fertilizzante is usually something specific that has fast release, while compost is usually slow release

I have some universal compost, it's very little pink balls, and it says it's npk 15-9-15(+2) youre supposed to mix it in the soil or put it on top, and after a few waterings it completely dissolves?

What's the difference between this, and say, the cannabus fetilizer i have which only has 3-1-3 which burns plants way easier?

I think that both of the products you have in your photos are fertilizer.

Compost is organic material such as leaves, stems, sticks, fruits and vegetables that have been piled up and allowed to decompose. As the plant parts decompose the material starts to turn dark and look just like soil or the dirt in a farm field. It does this because of the bacteria and other microscopic life is eating the organic materials. It is so low on the NPK numbers that most of the time there are no numbers used when we find it already bagged up.

It is good for the soil because the plant parts have been turned back into the basic nutrients that plant roots need to find in the soil.

Will the pink stuff burn a seedling?

All things CAN burn plants, meaning compost, nutes etc

Too hot is too hot

What bigger number means tho? I get that 3 1 2 anf 4 1 2 means that there is more nitrogen, but what about 5 5 5 and 50 50 50?

Means hot...hotter... FLAMING HOT

How is it mesured, like 50 50 50,how many grams is it? And what if it's a liquid?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Simple answer


These numbers represent the percent by weight of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in every container and are always listed in the same order. For example, a fertilizer such as Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food designated as 24-8-16 is comprised of 24% nitrogen, 8% phosphorus, and 16% potassium.

Yes. That is a fertilizer. After spending a little time translating some of the words from Italian I have the feeling that the bag of NPK Original Gold is meant for plants that are becoming established. This means, to me, that the plants have good roots and healthy stems and leaves. I have the feeling that the "pink stuff" is meant for fertilizing small trees and grape vines. You might be able to use it later but not until your plant has grown more.

People who are more familiar with the Canna line of products might be able to help you with the other product.

In my country we have, Fertilizzante, and concime.

The concime is the compost and I am sure that you can find an article in Italian that could explain it better, including the N-P-K formula, than my wife and I trying to translate from English.

Wait no, concime is not compost, there is a difference between fertilizzante and concime, and i just dont get it, because there is no word for it in eneglish, it's all called fertilizer. I'll google it when im home....you're right, that fertilizer is meant for big plants, i use it i the garden for grass and pretty much most of my plants, and it seems to do very well, so i wanted to give it a shot with weed. Since i dont like to add liquid fertilizer often...

concime

When I used the internet translation it came up with compost. Let me try again. I looked at a few more translations and came up with "fertilizer" and "manure". Oh, and I noticed the pronunciation for it. If we keep this up I might be able to talk to my wife's mother in Italian after 50 years of being married to her daughter.

I wouldn't put that anywhere near my plants, especially young ones. Do a.little reading on here and find some nutrients that are cannabis specific and have a good reputation. Then order some online and you're good to go.
I used some heavy fertilizer back in the day on some plants, they were almost 10 ft tall and burned the hell out of them!

I to have cannabis fertilizer, but it's liquid, i was just wondering if that stuff could do, just don't like to always have to check ph, how many ml I'm putting in etc... Kinda of a pain

Growing weed isn't as easy as drop a seed a d walk away....lol

That's part of the fun is the entire process

That said...LOS is water and forget....maybe look into that
