Hi, you gave me some grow advice 6 days ago I'm looking to follow up on. I've taken your recommendations and this is what I'm looking to experiment with (all of this I have, or have ordered and will have probably even before I start the seed soak) is:
Marphyl Liquid Marine Phytoplankton Soil Enhancer which has an NPK value of 4-0-1 and seems most useful in veg. It comes in 500 ml bottle and they recommend 50 ml/L (its not concentrated) though I don't think I'll use it much at full strength, and only in veg because the ratios are backward for bloom. It has some added benefits though, so I might add a drop of it (10 ml/L) early since Early Miss goes into pre-flower before day 21. It has some P, and enough Ca and Mg that Cal Mag isn't needed the weeks its used.
For bloom, I have mostly Bud Juice: like Marphyl, this is also 100% organic and I decided to substitute the Marphyl for their Nitro as Nitro at 12-0-0 doesn't seem to offer as much as Marphyl does since I'd have to dilute that because that's probably too much N for 21 days of veg (including seedling), but Grow (2-14-0) looks good for the recommended week 4 as soil dressing, with some K added and then Bloom (0-0-15) in week 6 with some Cal Mag and NPK from "Nitrogen Fuel" (a 3-1-1 freebie I got that can be added as a supplement in all stages).
I'm looking at half strength for anything new and no Marphyl past week 3 to avoid too much N build up. What do you think? Its for Early Miss autoflower, grown in a 3 gallon pot with Pro-Mix "premium potting soil" which I had decent results with for what it was (my first grow is 2 & 1/2 days on the rack and looks like it put out about 25-30 grams, once its dry, from a 2 gallon pot with a 150W LED that draws 63 watts. This is what I'm hoping to improve on (though the bud itself look excellent: very dense and thick with resin).
