Flowering Fertilizer

whats some half way decent flowering formula you cna buy at a ace hardware, or wal mart? or any cheap ones that come from a recognized source on the internet?

If you want a decent flowering fert from local store, go to walmart and buy miracle grow bloom booster... works great, just be very easy with it, use1/4- 1/2 the dosage it says. its cheap like $5 and is great NPK 15-30-15 a very cheap easy to get nute... it will work, like I said be easy with it and follow the schedule as far as watering.

bone meal is a much better flowering nutrient that any MG fertilizer. Bone meal can be found almost anywhere that sells gardening supplies

Ive seen the MG bloom hes talking about in action it works good.

yeah it works well if used properly... Also need ot remember to do a goooood flush and run water atleast the last 5 days before harvest. With many nutes I dont think flushing is really necessary but with MG nutes, I am a firm believer in it.

go for Plant Prod 15-15-30
i just bot a box of it at Canadian tire for like 8 bucks.
mel frank tells me plants need almost twice the amount of K rather then P.
bone meal as a flowering fert? it contains NO Potassium! good luck.

An inexpensive mix which I use in large part is fish emulsion and seaweed extract. The fish emulsion is 5-1-1 while the seaweed brand I buy here is .6-12-18. I use this solution the last 6 weeks or so of flower, most of my strains run 12 to 14 weeks, provides all of the macro and micro nutes and can also be used as a foliar spray if your plants get a bit hungry. You don't have a burning problem with the fish emulsion which is an advantage when you are growing strains new to you which can ruin a crop late into flower.
No matter what you use during your grow the fish and seaweed are great suppliments throughout your grow for lush healthy plants, both watering and foliar feeding. Good Luck

When I used to grow outdoors, I used Peter's 20-20-20 for veg, and Shultz 10-60-10 for bloom, and they alway's did a good job.

I've also had very good results with MG Bloom Booster. Just flush often so you don't get a buildup and use 1/2 strength.

miracle gro bloom booster is the best thing to use if u are on a tight budget....it makes a good foliar spray too...

Bone meal is a good organic source of N. but nothing else

I used the miracle grow bloom booster 15-30-15. It was my 1st time and it worked great. just remember not to use the full dosage. I mixed mine with warm water, then let the water pale sit overnight to let all the flouride and other chemical's evaporate out before using it to water both of my plants. I would use it every other watering at first. Then I would use it every watering until the last 2 or 3 weeks and I would just use water without fertilizer. Bud's are big and smelley.

More excellent advice. I add sugar daddy/molasses throughout flowering

youre thinking of blood meal, blood meal is 12-0-0

bone meal is 4-12-0

generally

Some of the best MJ fertilizer, period. Look to see if there's a store in your area:

I use 1 teaspoon/gallon as a baseline for full (ie. 100%) concentration with every watering. I say baseline, because often the concentration is higher, driven by the genetics, environment, and the light intensity. 1 teaspoon per gallon is a safe (full) dosage that brings about excellent results. In essence, you can't miss.

Like I said, feed with every watering:

Veg from seed or clone - 20-20-20

1st watering - 1/4 concentration
2nd watering - 1/4 concentration
3rd watering - 1/2 concentration
4th watering and every watering that follows - full concentration

Flower:

Week 1 from clone: - 100% veg, from seed 50% veg and 50% Bloom
Week 2 from clone - 100% veg, from seed 100% Bloom
Week 3 - 100% Bloom
Week 4 - 100% Bloom
Week 5 - 125% Bloom
Week 6 - 150% Bloom
Week 7 - 100% Bloom
Week 8 - ~50% Bloom
Week 9 - ~25% Bloom

ok, so you make 1 teaspoon per gallon instead of 1/4 teaspoon as the manufacturer says? and i have to water my plant only with concetrate in every watering?so i mean i have to water plant only with concetrate and not with just a water? or i have to water periodically with concetrate, for example once in 2 weeks with concetrate other days only with water...?.
(sorry for my english)

You mix the fertilizer with water, and use that to water the plants. For example, for your first watering from seed or clone you'd use 1/4 teaspoon of the fertilizer, mix it with a gallon of water, and use that water to pour into the pots.
