Started off week 7 of flower with a light Dr. Earth fertilizer tea consisting of 7 Tbs Flower Girl and 1 Tbs All Purpose in 3.5 L of dechlorinated tap water.
Is there a good "rule of thumb" N-P-K to start with for flowering? I have a 4-6-3, 3-9-4, and 2-2-2 to mix for various N-P-K's. I'd like to get close to an ideal mix when I top dress in a few weeks. I know fertilizer needs will vary by strain, but I'm interested in a baseline.
Hey Growmie,
A general rule of thumb is to remain close to a 3-1-3 (N-P-K) ratio for the first few weeks. During flowering, it is best to reduce the proportion of nitrogen to phosphorus and potassium compared to the ratio used during the vegetative stage. It is essential to lower the portion of N at this point. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"
@MrJones, thanks! I've been pleased with how the Dr. Earth line has worked as a dry amendment and for use in making fertilizer tea. It has definitely made this a much easier experience. The Afghani #1 strain has also been very forgiving.

@MrJones, I'm super pleased with how they are growing! I was prepared for many more difficulties than I've had so far with this being my first grow. Thanks!
When in flower, you want to be around 45/55% Humidity - I am struggling with that as well, I kicked up my fans to at least keep the air moving, I also started to water at beginning of lights on, so the heat from the lights can dissipate a bit of the moister created after watering, would love to see pictures of the flowers :)
