Hi braindead

Good advice given by Pharm Girl.

I though since I have some time I would expand a little on that for you.




The numbers she talked about are NPK ratings. That stands for Nitrogen-Phosphorous-Potassium.

These three numbers that are found listed on fertilizer labels correspond to the percentage of these materials found in the fertilizer.

If you were looking for a Veg fertilizer you would want one with a higher first number(Nitrogen) and lower 2nd and 3rd ones.

Since you are looking for a flowering fertilizer you want one with a lower first number(Nitrogen) and a higher 2nd number (Phosphorous) .

I use 12-6-6 for Veg and 5-10-5 for flower.

So dont worry if you cant get the exact ratio recommended by Pharm Girl. Any good fertilizer with low N high P will work.


And the molasses is good stuff. I add 1 Tbsp per gallon of water.


Come share a picture with us at harvest.

Good Luck.
