Q about fertilizer

I have some 5-20-10 and it says its for flowering but its all i have and i was woundering if it work ok.

 

Work ok for what?

Hmmmm?

try a highly diluted mix and see what happens in two days.. possible scenarios are 1.) nothing, 2.) growing faster and greener, 3.) death by fertalizer...

 

work for growing doja of coarse and i was just planning on mixing it with the soil

 

I meant for veg or flowering.

By mixing it with the soil I take it that it is granules that time release?

-B

 

I was going to use it for both,yes its granules and the container says "formulated with high phosphorous content to help new plants form a sturdy root system and strong top growth." i also read somewhere that high phosphorous in veg. can cause more male plants?

 

My Bad,

I didn't see that this was under the "Outdoors" section.

Herb is a nitrophile and wants alot of it. Outdoors it will grow and grow and grow.

You could probably get away with it but might want to consider blending it to balance out the NPK a bit. Too much P can lockup other nutes. But you never know some growers just rely upon mother nature.

ya thanks i just figured its plant fertilizer and if i dont over do it, it couldnt hurt

 

If the granules are "time release" or "long acting" don't use them! Cannabis is a high energy annual - it wants everything it can get within a rather short time. If it's not time releaed, add some Bloodmeal (it's cheap) to bring the combined NPK up to about 25 or 30-20-10. Mixing ingredients can be confusing, read the lables closely so you really understand the amounts you're dealing with!!


Yeah, you need more Nitrgen or you may get mostly all males!!!

 

right off the bat im going to say no. not because it wont work, but because you shouldnt use it. why? because it is going to ruin the taste of your herb. sure, the numbers sound near ideal for flowering, but those flowers are going to taste bad. why? because it is cemical fertalizer. you really dont need it. some chicken shit and greensand would make it flower real good, is cheap, and your herb will tast great. sure you dont care if its organic, and yes you may just want more weight so you can sell it, but your going to sit on that weight along time because it tastes bad, and sittin on that is gonna get you introuble.
