Can anyone tell me why theres more N in my Bloom nutes than in my Grow nutes?

**scoobles** · 10-03-17, 04:46 PM

I always thought N was reduced during flower after the initial stretch period?

Just realized I probably posted this is the wrong place, Apologies

Because at bloom your plant is all grown up and needs more nitrogen than a seedling.
While absolute amount might be higher, the ratio with P and K is much lower.

Thanks for reply fella

At a time when ur likely to be feeding highter EC, wouldnt the plants get more N anyway?

Yes, but then ratios will be different too.

The nutrition in plants is not any less complex than in humans.
There are many options, and not one right answer.

The idea is to find a system that works for you, without underfeeding or over feeding.

Plants allway need nitrogen, including different types at different stages of growth.
If you are interested in how,what and why plants use nutrients can I recommend teaming with nutrients it a wonderful read in my opinion.

You didn't mention what brand of nutes you are using...

I personally pay no attention to brands.
All the they do is take the same ingredients any common garden fertilizer uses, put a nice sticker on it, and sell it for 2-5 times the price.

The most important information anyway is the NPK ratios, and sources.

Sometimes it also helps knowing the brand, as that way we know what we are discussing...

Wouldn't it be more accurate to write exactly what we are discussing?
Like the precise ratios and composition of the nutrients, instead of a brand name?
