I'm very happy with the plant and am very excited to see the results soon. The sun was shining nearly the whole week and you definitely see that the plant needed it. As I mentioned before, the last two weeks were really cloudy and I think the plant would have grown even better if the sun would have shined then too.
Would you recommend to use fertilizers, although Royal Queen Seeds write on there website that Royal Gorilla Automatics don't really need those/ only a very few amount? And if so, which one would you recommend, that I would also find in a hardware store?
Sure, i'm running 5 of these right now, every auto need fertilizer. One easy to use fertilizer is Bio Bizz, organic product, not to much risk of over feeding.
If you are limited to a hardware store than any basic fertilizer similar to a NPK ratio of 20-10-20 will work.
You can also use soil feeding, for example RQS offers the soil fertilizer that you mix with soil and then use during the whole grow, running one Royal Gorilla with that right now and the plant does great 👌
Hi! What should a good fertilizer contain, suitable for the flowering phase? And what could I use if I want to buy it in a hardware store? Or can I just keep using my normal fertilizer, that I also used during the growing phase? Thanks for your help :)
Hello.. Hope you are well.. Potassium and phosphorus are the 2 main elements ur girls need in flowering.. A little nitrogen is usually in premixed nutes aswell.. But reduced a small amount whereas ur p&k is raised.. Essentially a 3 part liquid feed is great for messing around and finding those peak levels.. Stay safe n gud luck with your gardening activities.. 👍🍀
If you want to grow organic, look for an all purpose 4-4-4, if you cant find that, organic tomato nutrients work well in a pinch. They tend to be in the right npk range and have higher calcium % that cannabis plants need. Depending on your soil, you may need to pick up some garden lime aka dolomite lime to buffer your ph.
@Growkong, you should be fine. If you have a peat based soil, the ph could drop over time also chemical nutrients will affect ph as well. Thats were the lime could be helpful. Most city tap water is in the 7.5 to 8.2 range and should be fine to water with. Its highly recommended to water with dechlorinated water, you can pick up an inexpensive $15usd filter online or at a hardware store.
@Ga4rd2en0er, thanks!
I bought soil with a ph of 6,5. So that should be no problem I think, right? Although I don't know what ph value the water has. Should be around 7-9 probably. Is this a big influence or can I ignore that?
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Continue to do what you do and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is complete.
