Should I add bloom nutes?

[Herbinatah]

2 weeks into flower wasn't sure whether to add anything for flower. Grown under a 600 watt LED.I have been using Pro-mix potting soil mixed with compost. I have a bottle of root farm bloom. I also cannot find much information about either product as far as cannabis growing so if anybody has information thank you.

I personally use 1 tablespoon of non sulphur molasses which feeds the micro nutes in the soil and it does make s difference. More trichromes and sticky

Ok thanks I was just reading about deficiencies just wanted something to supplement Potassium and Phosporus if I even need to.

Kool Bloom last 4 weeks in bloom for me. I run a basic GH schedule indoors with my water adjusted to 200ppm TDS using rain/RO. There are organic bloom boosters and I use high P bat guano in the greenhouse when bloom starts. I don't worry about K because I have alkali water out there. If you're worried about K, wood ash works fine, but be careful.

Research compost tea...
I take 5 gallons of Spring Water, put a 4” air stone at the bottom, attached to 3.5psi air pump (aquarium).

Add to water
Seaweed/Kelp extract (Usually 15ml per gallon)
3 Tablespoons non sulphur molasses
8 Tablespoons URB (Optional)

In the straining bag: (Dry ingredients)
2 cups Earthworm castings
3 cups Compost
1/2 cup Bloom/Flower/Rose/Bud blend
1 scoop GW mica
**Mix well in separate container**

Suspend the compost bag half way up the bucket, and brew for 12-24 hours. Add another spoon of molasses at 24 hours if you want to run a 36 hour brew. Use within 4 hours.

I feed every other feed with compost tea, and use a seaweed+water only mix for the alternating weeks. They also have premade tea bags, but I haven’t tried any to recommend.

Or just buy some OMRI listed bottle bloom nutes. There’s a ton of them out there.

Happy feeding!

I use root farm bloom nutes for flower... works great. I recommend only giving them bloom nutes once a week at most. I started mine off with bloom nutes every 2nd or 3rd watering and started getting a bit of nute burn.

I would. Perfect time. Don’t be shy. Do the recommended dose.

Thanks for the help. I have decided to use the Root Farm because I have it on hand and a lack of funds. I have used it every watering at recommended dose with one break on the third watering. One question i have is im almost at week 7 of flower and I have no fading on any leaves is that common?. Here are some updated pictures and a cheap usb microscope image of the development of trichomes.

It's looking really good! I would start flush soon.. your starting to get a tiny but of yellow on the tips of the leafs which is #1 indicator of nutrient burn. The soil will hold nutrients in it for awhile and when you keep feeding with nutes it builds up in the soil. When your sugar leafs start getting yellow tips and not just the fan leafs you know your definately over feeding.
Remember less is more in some cases.
But looking amazing in those pics!

ok thanks for the response I didnt want to mess anything up by reading things on the net. I tend to trust you or others here who have actual documented grows.
