MG Bloom Booster?

[mistakeith1]

Hey guys, I've got and experimental grow goin startin off from 12/12. When the babies get older I plan on using MG bloom booster (15-30-15) Mainly because it was easy to get and not pricey.

Should I expect good results from this fert?

[Boss]

Yes. But I would flush weeks in advance. Also, check the pH of your water with and without nutes (mix a gallon and test) You may need a calcium and magnesium supplement. Check for Plant-tone organic or something like that at the place you found the MG.

I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to flush early. I have used this and it will make for some nasty tasting smelly crap if you leave it in during harvest.

Oh, and if you have a choice, find another source, preferably organic. You will be very please with the results.

Alright. Thanks Boss.

What is a good organic fert?

And if I end up having to use the MG, proper flushing? I'm new to growing but my understanding of flushing is just watering with no ferts. is this right?

[Boss]

Correct on the flushing. I would plan for once at light switch, and at once at 2 weeks, final about 3 dyas before you chop. MG is powerful stuff, and the taste and smell can really stick if you don't clean em out real good.

I use plant-tone from wally world, just because it was easy to find and in front of me. But, it works :-)

Well sounds like I may be leaning toward some organic fert if I can get it at wal-mart. I must have looked over it the first time. But now I know what to look for.
One more ? ...my babies are on 12/12 already...when I start using ferts should I just start in with a bloom nute? or use a veg nute to start out?

Thanks Boss

I use an even 4/4/4 at that stage. It takes N to make females, so I go bloom when they show sex.

[mistakeith1]

Okay sounds like a plan. I think I read that somewhere about more N more likely to make fem. I'll hafta make a trip to the store

[Boss]

I got it from a group of nuns that did a test back in 1934 :-)

[mistakeith1]

Well thats a reliable enough source for me
