New Grower When to stop using root stimulator

[melki]

Hey Guys,

I'm 2 weeks in to my first ever grow. Things are going nicely so far. I have been feeding just water with some Rhizotonic root stimulator, no nutes yet but getting close i guess now. My question is when do i stop using the root stimulator or do i carry on using it throughout?

Im obviously going to be mixing water with some veg nutes with in the next week and wandered if i still keep using the Root stimulator as well as the veg nutes in with the water.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I think it's sorta preference, but there is probably some science to it as well. This is what I do basically and it depends on strain. I use General Organics Bio nutrients.

Week 1-Plain Ph water
Week 2(day 7+)-Superthrive and Bio Root(root stim)
Week 2.5-Superthrive, Bio Root, 1/8 strength veg

I will slowly work that veg up depending and drop that after Week 3 and then reintroduce for at least 1/2 strength right as it's going into good lfower when you switch to bloom nutes. Hope this helps.

I'm a noob also and I'm on my first grow as well. I just picked up the GO BOX from General Organics which has root stimulant included. By reading the feed chart on the box, you use it throughout the veg state. I don't see where it would hurt to use it a little longer as long as your not burning up your roots. I'm sure some pros will be along soon and they will be more helpful.

No worries. One suggestion isn't as good as three. Especially if yours is basically the same.:thumbs:
