Plant Ferts in the Uk for Veg Stage

iNFID3L · May 16, 2011

Ok,im new here, and ive already been made aware of the fact i need a plant fert with a highish N ratio for veg stage,and a slightly higher p ratio for final stage.

I was going to just buy some miracle grow and weaken it, but im now thinking maybe something with a higher N ratio.

Basically,what im asking is, what are you guys using, it needs to be something i can ''pop out'' and buy...

ANY advice greatly appreciated. ;-)

I like Fox Farm Grow Big, easy to you and almost impossible to burn your ladies.. Been using it for almost 10 and have NEVER had problems with it.. But there are alot of high quality nutes out there. Best to do some research to see which one fits your needs

look for something similar to this NPK ratio

Vegging 18/6 light cycle
3-1-2 3% Nitrogen 1%phosphorous 2%Potassium

Flowering 12/12 light cycle
2-1-3 2% Nitrogen 1%Phosphorous 3%Potassium

You could also look for a PK booster.

You should ideally start reading soon. I advise you to try and find some issues of URBAN GARDEN MAGAZINE this mag is my bible here in the UK. Nothing to do with MJ but plenty of handy info.

To be honest though anything pretty much will work to an extent it all depends how well you pick up the hobby and how much you are prepared to read about growing in general.

I use CANNA and they are a good manufacturer but in order to follow their feeding charts you need the full lineup of
A B , rhizotonic, cannazym, PK1314 and BOOST .

ok, what would you suggest i buy from there ?

Would you be willing to name all the nutes you would buy from them ?

because i am a noob, so far ive decided to get a ph test kit, along with ph adjuster, and ''something'' to help me with nitrate when i re-pot, after making sure the water i use is spot on.

Am i anywhere near right ?

everything on the list above would set you back around 1000GBP plus a few days setting up.

Seriously start reading about growing and grow room design and setup.

its not as simple as a magic bottle will do all.

thank you kindly

How much weaker should i be mixing this ?

I was going to make the mix up in water, then add double the water, then use it ?

jondamon · May 17, 2011

mix at half recommended on the bottles.

Start with feed water water.

Ive already l;ocated and purchased some good fert, with a 3 1 2 mix

2 1 3 NPK for flowering? Are you fucking kidding me? Get Canna Terra Vega (Veg), Terra Flores (Flower) and PK13/14 (Additive for week 4-5 of flower). Dont buy a big list of bullshit, just get the basics, it will grow you alot of weed without the need for shoveling out for 200 quids worth of crap on a first outdoor grow.

its a well documented standard ratio for MJ, look into RIDDLEME's posts.

The guy wanted cheap ferts to try with, i listed everything i use just for a laugh.

This way by giving him a basic npk ratio he should do fine finding something cheap to have a go with.

zippythehippy · May 17, 2011

now if you want it cheaper and dont want to order online go out and get a bottle of babybio plant fert for veg and for flower get yourself some tomorite tomato feed thats all i use in my grows and i get good yields
