Need help with nute question.

Ive been growing 3 pineapple express plants for 5 weeks in veg without any nutrients. This is my first grow and i would like to use an organic nutrient. Could someone please advise whether i can start giving the plant nutrients at the late stages of vegging? Furthermore if anyone has any suggestion to what organic nutes would give me the best quality bud i would be very happy. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

Yes, you can and should give nutrients to your plants during most of veg. A good organic nutrient is Botanicare, there may be others that I am not sure about.

The only times you can't fertilize is with seeds, seedlings and clones. Even then, they can still benefit from certain weak nutrients. Also, at the very end of flowering, ferts should usually be stopped to minimize fresh growth that won't have time to mature. Other than that, give them all they can handle when you want strong growth.

Some of the best fertilizers include Worm Castings, Bat & Seabird Guanos, Fish Emulsion/Hydrolyzed Fish, Bone Blood & Kelp Meals, Maxicrop and Palm Ash.

can you use the guano in a hydro setup tho?

Of course. Afaik, everything the plants absorb is soluble in water. So, all you have to do with solid ferts is allow the soluble substances to disolve and then filter the insolubles out, making a tea. In hydro setups it becomes much more important to filter the tea very well to minimize the deposition of residues in your system. I'd imagine that any buildup left behind after using organic teas would be less toxic than buildups from chemical ferts. I could be wrong, though.

well I just broke down and got some dyna-gro flower its working great so far only tryed it on 1 of my ladies and she turned a nice darker shade of green within 6 hours well started to thx for the info tho might try all home made ferts on next one

Humboldt Nutrients has a great organic line and GH has a pretty good 2 part organic line.
