Noticed my leaves shining. Mixture of too much Nitrogen and heat. I'm now adding about 2 crumbs of fertilizer with 1 gallon. I have been to farm n fleet, menards, and walmart for a fertilizer high in Phosphorus, Ive learned its very essential in the flowering period. The fertilizer im using now is 15-30-15 which is a ratio of 1:2:1 right? Someone please explain this to me.. why am I suffering excessive Nitrogen. I never use full strength either, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon.

Also, could it have something to do with the type of npk its supplying? Like water soluble, or availability?
Here are the ingredients.

I do plan on buying the Fox Farm Trio for my next grow, but by the time I order it and I get it, It'll be too late for 2 of my ladies.

hey grim!..15% N is way too high..the FF grow big for veg is 6% and that's too much even..i use 1/2 to 1/4 of FF and NEVER more than 1/2 of label..big bloom is .01 N and tiger bloom is 2% N..so you can see why 15% is the issue..lemme know if you have any more questions<3

the flower liquids..big bloom is .01-.3-.7..and tiger bloom is 2-8-4..so you would need to find something similar and then you have the solubles (for oil production) "open sesame", "beastie blooms" and "cha-ching"..OS is 5-45-19, BB is 0-50-30 and CC is 9-50-10 used at 1/2 to 1/4 label used in rotation.

1 : 3 : 2 or there abouts works for me. Depends on what your plant is trying to tell you. You may also want to check out Dyna-Gro. It's complete with high quality formulas in ratios that make sense.

Good Luck !!

urea is one of its ingredients and it can be the corporate to the actual burning of the plants

Amazon Prime Trial, opt out before 30 days and you get 30 days of free 2-day express shipping.
You could have a 1L bottle there the day after tomorrow for 28$

Aha, Ive had some issues with them charging me for the amazon prime. I did it once for free shipping and didnt opt out, a month later they charged me. Is it really ok to cancel and just get the free shipping?
Thanks again.
