Additives in flowering

[anarowe]

I am getting close to flowering and I was wondering what kind of nutrients people are using.  I read about people using molasses and teas to enhance outcome. How do you use molasses and teas, how often, and do you use it with regular flowering nutes? Also how do they affect ec/ppm?

Molasses doesn't directly feed the plants. It provides nutrients for beneficial bacteria in the soil. Compost tea is great to use all through the growth cycle.

Fox farms line of nutrients have been my mainstay since day one

 

Grow big for veg  Big bloom and Tiger bloom for flower .

Canna Coco was great in coco! Just follow their chart, and add a couple ml of CaMg. Only nutrients that following the chart isn't 3x as much as you need!😂

If you use cana coco, go to their site,use the nutrient calculator. It will get you set for the size reservoir you use and units you wish to measure with.

When instructing new growers I always recommend picking a nutrient system like Fox Farms and sticking to the simplest schedule with the least additives for a baseline so they have a solid platform to start from, a solid foundation for building knowledge and experience. 

Pick a nutrient solution that is specific to what you are growing in. Fox Farms is for dirt.

General Hydroponics is a simple solution for hydroponics (reservoir).

I agree that beginner growers should  go the easiest route  with their first crop then  move on to bigger and better things when they gain  more knowledge on the art of growing cannabis.

Compost tea has worldwide acceptance. You can get a user manual while buying it. Add 1 tea bag to 2 to 5 gallons of water. Then Steep the compost tea bag for 8 to 12 hours, then use immediately. After steeping, give the tea bag a squeeze, then remove it from the compost tea.  Recycle the tea bag into your compost pile or garden. Aerate compost tea by stirring for a moment before applying. Use a watering can to drench the soil base with compost tea, or use a sprayer to apply to your flowering plants and roses. When drenching, apply tea at the same rate as a normal watering for the specific plant. Apply it once a month for optimum results.
