New Grower Use nutes with soil?

[sugarman1210]

Okay guys and gals, I'm here with another question. I have 2 auto bubble and 2 auto critical starting to flower. Here is my question, I transplanted them last week into a larger pot and they are doing well. I used Miracle Gro organic soil (Yeah I know it sucks shit, just found that out). I will be getting my Advanced Nutrients today. Question, should I use the blooming nutes or will this counteract the soil and cause a nutrient overload? I hope this is enough info, if not let me know.

really they have enough nutes for at least 2-3 wks.

I reckon i would start nutes in a weeks time small amount then increasing it

If there in wk old soil there will still be nutes unused so if your going to start feeding i'd go eazy, maybe 1/4 strenth and see how you go. its always eazyer to add nutes than the opposite sugarman. good luck mate

Ps i would stick to the grow nutes if in early flower, i normaly start bloom nutes at wk6 but im in big pots and they seem to take a little longer

Thanks a ton.

Thanks so much fellas. I'll hold off for a bit on em. However, what is the easiest way to measure these nutes. I have advanced nutrients conisseur a and b as well as voodoo juice, b-52, overdrive, and big bud. It says 4ml for every 1 liter for the conisseur a just as an example. If I use this stuff for soil I assume I should mix it with RO or Distilled h20 however should I convert the ml to gallons or what. What is the easiest way to do this. I guess I could use an empty clean 2 liter bottle and just add 8ml, but then should I just use half and then add more water? How do you guys do this? I know I will learn a lot with experimenting, but I need a place to start. Also, while I'm at it, how should I do this for an aerogarden with only a 1 gallon resevoir.

hey sugar i use AN also. itd be best if you went on there website and did the nutrient calculator and you can put it in gallons for easy reading. but always start off quarter strength with the advanced. you can use RO/ or tap depending. i use everything u used except i switched voodoo juice for roots excelurator by house of garden. if you have voodoo just use it. but the president of AN even said the roots excel is more superior than voodoo. but i also satrted using bud ignitor and sensizyme also. i also use a technaflora calmag cuz i dont have AN cal mag. i also use a baby dropper to meausure nutes in ML.

Thank you so much Been. I scoured the website and found the calculator. Thank you tremendously. About the Cal Mag, are the nutrients deficient in that area? I just read that a higher Cal Mag will help increase yield. I was under the impression that this would be all I needed. If I need it I can get it no problem.

you're gonna wanna watch your runoff ph with miracle gro. Mine kept dropping and locking out it was slow release nutes that never quit putting out(constant flushes) 4l = 1 gal. divide by quarter

Got to agree with beenjammin when you start use only a 1/4 strenth and you might find you get more control if you measuse the nutes with a syringe, works for me. AN nutes are good but go eazy at the start SM

If you start with good soil and big pots you don't need any veg nutes at all. I have gone into flowering many times without a feed and without showing a nitrogen deficiency. Lots of growers work on the principle of waiting for the plant to tell you what it needs.
