Give minerals when nothing to give? I'm desperate :(

[tokerLV2]

Hi, community

I have a few autos growing outdoors and one has started to flower, others still have only preflowers. My soil mix that i am growing these in is organic and since sowing they haven't received anything else but organic nutes (Biobizz grow & root joice) however i didn't thought they'll flower so soon!

The problem is- i didn't order bloom fert early enough. The biobizz bloom is on its way now, but it will ship for about 3 weeks and i have NOTHING to give to my soon-to-be-flowering babies! None of local gardening stores has anything organic with high P and K rates, the best i could find was cactus fert with ok P/K but it is MINERAL!

The question is- can i use this one until biobizz comes or it will destroy all the microbiological life in soil? Also- Should i still give BioGrow to them when they'll all start to flower? If so- what dosage and until which flowering week?

Sorry for long post Here is some Auto Wappa for ya

hey toker

firstly don't worry too much they will be fine!

how old are your plants? the reason I ask is they look about 4 - 5 weeks old which means they shouldn't need any bloom until week 6 ish. watch them and when the vertical growth stops its time to switch to bloom. Although they show pre-flowers early they still need veg nutrients.

so keep them on grow until they stop the vertical growth then switch to bloom low doses then build up, below is what I do:

week 5 - 2ml grow per litre

week 6 - 1ml grow 1ml bloom

week 7 - 0.5ml grow 1.5ml bloom

week 8 - 2ml bloom

week 9 - 2.5ml bloom

week 10 - plain water

If you have to use something while waiting look for a good tomato food they usually are balanced and have good p/k content

I hope this helps

Thanks for the quick answer!

All my plants are indeed 4-5 weeks old. Normal autos i've grown has always started to flower at 4th or 5th week outdoors. Growth has stopped on this particular Auto wappa and by the pictures you can see the amount of pistils on top so i consider it has started flowering. Other auto wappa is tiny and haven't got even preflowers yet. Pandoras are the same- small and no preflowers. Late bloomers- Think Different and Auto Mazar are gatting BIG (biggest autos i've grown yet) and has few tiny preflowers. I suppose them to flower in next 2 weeks or so.

I will look for organic tomato food. But still- does mineral fert hurts soil badly?

Mined minerals are organic. Minerals that are the result of a chemical process are not.

The BioBizz grow is a complete fertilizer, just keep using it till your bloom gets in.
