Hi guys,
Really hoping someone can help me understand/learn Cannabis nutirent requirements. Possibly @MrSauga ; @farside05 @Emilya (and hoping you don't mind me tagging you) I'm new to the forum, but not a novice grower by any means, but always looking to improve my knowledge base. I've successfully used many multi part nutrients, but coming across Mega Crop (sorry Emilya) has made me wanting to learn more about what i'm feeding my plants/why/when. Now i know the basic info that's all over the web, such as higher need of N during veg and vise-versa for PK during flowering. But what i'm wanting to learn about is the specific ratios that i must stay within during different stages. There must be a max/min concentration of certain macros during certain stages/all stages? I've tried searching the net and have come across bits of info ie) I never want to exceed 150ppm of N, never to have ratio of N:K exceed 1:3.. but its all just broken information that i want to piece together. Is there a website/journal/study anyone can point me towards so i can learn this? I would really like to dive into using Mega Crop, it seemed so simplistic and great idea, but the more i read here and the more pictures i see of people posting of their plants on Mega Crop, its scaring me to take the plunge. Some plants are so horrific that i've never seen people keeping (never mind sharing photos of proudly) of plants like that. I'd be heartbroken if my plants ever look anything like them.
I tried (really really hard) to read and follow the MegaCrop thread and got up to page 29.. but there are still 160 pages to go and its mostly filler material. It took me a whole day to go thru 30 pages, i'll be scrolling thru that thread for the next 3 days. I wish there was a way to filter comments in threads by
Am i correct in doing my math if i assume (taking mega crop as an example 9-6-17) that for each 1000ppm there will be
232ppm of N
71ppm of P
360ppm of K
Using that as an example, how do i figure out how to encorporate a PK booster during flowering? Am i correct in assuming that i could lower the dosage of mega crop to 800ppm will bring down the numbers to
186ppm of N
57ppm of P
287ppm of K
so if i was to add 200ppm of 0-10-10 to this i'll end up with
186ppm of N
157ppm of P
389ppm of K -> still with in 1:3?
Is that correct way of going about this?
If i were to use 200ppm of SweetCandy as a PK booster 0-17-28 i'll end up with
186ppm of N
142ppm of P
477 ppm of K -> still within 1:3
Am i going about this the right way? any help or direction would be appreciated. I'm willing to put the time in and read if someone can guide where to look.
Thank you.
