Grow Questionswhat if bananas are not enough??Next steps and deficiencies?

what if bananas are not enough??Next steps and deficiencies?

ActionJoshstarted grow question 2 years ago

I am writing to enquire about if any of you used water from banana peels throughout the life cycle of the plant, is able to provide (NPK) the required demand of seedlings and avoid deficiencies in later phases because it uses rainwater ??Thanks in advance

If banana peel water is the only nutrient you're providing, the answer is a resounding "no" - that alone will not provide the necessary NPK... it's basically only giving the plant a bit of potassium.... You'll need to provide it a LOT more than that. If you want to grow organically, there are several nute lines specifically formulated for growing weed that are all organic... or you can try to be your own chemist and concoct a regime for yourself... Good luck!

I only used rainwater with Canna nutrients, it was in the initial phase, there was nothing to complain about, only later the problems started, (B) (Mn) the second time I used rainwater only for seeds, the rest was tap water and there were practically no deficiencies but I focus on ecology, although better results are obtained with tap water, after a short thought I decided to use Biobizz starter fertilizers, see what will happen:)

nope.. and rainwater isn't magical. it has not special properties compared to tap water. in fact it is likely acid rain and worse for your plant.

Fert Switch Veg/Flower Timing When and how do you switch from Canna Vega to Canna Flores? Feel free to share any tips. What are your "signals"? Do you suggest a hard switch like in the Canna schedule, or do you prefer transitioning by mixing the fertilizers? If you need more info, please check the diary.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

Nutirents for hard water Question regarding the correct fertilizer amount. Advanced Nutrients. If my water already has a high EC of 0.75 I use less base fertilizer (Bloom A+B). But do I also reduce the amount of additives like Voodoo Juice and Sensizym, etc? Is there anyone here with experience with AN?

Can I use NPK of 2-3-3 for flowering phase?I found in the store a liquid fertiliser only for flowering plants with a NPK ratio of 4-6-6, so a lot of potassium and phosphorus which are good for the flowering phase. I was thinking about feeding the plant with this, halving the dose reaching a 2-3-3 ratio. Is it good?
