Is big bloom the same thing the same as moab 1-52-34 in theroy? Have you used it?

GS

Never used Moab!

big bloom like all foxfarm is organic full of earthworm casing and bet doodoo. says N=.o1% P=.3% K=.7%.

Tiger bloom is N=2% P=8% K=4% plus other yummy stuff. Togther they seem to work fine.

... flowering girls need high P ratio in there food....

GS

Peace

Thanks for comfirming that GS! I have been using a high phosphrus Bat Guano (1-10-0) because I remember being told budding plants love phosphorus. I thought I may have been overfeeding for a while, but if you can use a fert. with a P level of 52 then I guess my measly 10 is not going to hurt them.

I have also heard that plants love potash during flowering as well. Advanced Nurtients makes a fert. called "Bud Blood' for hydroponic growing. It has a rating of 0-39-25.

So would my plants benifit from added potassium? I want to mix greensand into my guano tea to obtain this, but I am unsure of the mixing ratios (have yet to buy it though) and I am also unsure if it will have any benifit. Currently the only potassium they are getting is .5 from the fish emulsion I am using.

Wow, I thought I was using high phosporus with my bat guano (1-10-0) but you guys are using numbers like 45-50. Do you think I should mix my guano tea stronger on purpose? Current mix is 3 tbls. per gallon. Maybe goto 6 tbls. per gallon?

NO......

IF YOU DO WANT TO TRY IT .... DO IT ON ONLY ONE PLANT TILL YOU GET THE HANG OF IT..

I HAVE FRYED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF BUDS....
JUST TRYING TO FIND THE FINE LINE NOT TO CROSS...

STAY WITH WHAT YOU KNOW......

 

[RooRman]

I hear that. And with only 2 plants, both female, I rather not risk frying them with ferts that are too strong. They are green and healthy, so maybe I should just leave well enough alone. I always find the most trouble for growers is when they try and force their hand and make the plants grow faster or larger and end up killing them instead. They are plants, they grow on their own, and you can't make them grow any faster then they will allow. Thanks for the advice.

I use only well rotted horse manure mixed with water,thats it ! and the buds are fine and the smoke......divine........
