Hi all,

I see most of the good growers have moved from edit then ?
I only know about this website because of a little detective work uncovering LKDJ's recent ban.... So I have reproduced a post that was on edit but was not answered well. If anyone could help please ???

Right, this is the story...

ON my 21st day of flowering. 2 x unknown (huge been in veg for about 2 1/2 months), 3 x KC Brains mango, 3 x Afhgan x Maroc's, 1 x Orange Bud. I feed them with Chempak #2 all their lives in veg which is N-P-K 25-12.5-12.5, so high nitrogen for veg. I have now switched over to Chempak #8 12.5-25-25. High potassium and phosphorous for flowering. However I read a post earlier today by a grower (sorry can't remember name) when asci replied about day 31 (i think ??) their plants started showing signs of nitrogen defciency. So day 31 is a few days from week no 5 which is when pk 13/14 should be used (?? i think), so the question is as I am using high potassium and phosphorous feed anyway, I think this will worsen nitrogen def ???

So do I feed a little chempak #2 back in their on week 5 or what ???

asci, Marijuanamat, greengiant, lkdj??, midnight toker etc responses would be apreciated. Not that I don't want anyone else to answer but as fellow editors you understand where these people lay when it comes to growing.

This has been an interesting first grow for me as I have gone it seems against general consensus using things like canna veg + flower, boosters etc, instead going for chempak fertiliser based on a ganja plants requirements. you comments on this also would be appreciated.

I always did like science !!

Edit - this is the link i was on about with asci - http://forum.everyonedoesit.co.uk/sh...ad.php?t=97911

Edit 2 - am stoned !! - I repotted 10 days ago but am still feeding chempak 8, they show no signs of nut burn in last 4 feeds. Will new soil provide enough nitrogen ??? As new soil is rich in nitrogen ??

P.S this directly links to edit, perhaps not a good idea, please feel free mods to remove (however I don't think I will be the last person to do this on THC talk ??)

He ended up with the deficiency as he wasn't using enough nutrients mate. I've not used the chempak stuff so I can't really say but it does sound like she's getting enough overall....

welcome to thc mate.. :)
