How old are ur plants?
i used get good results from nutes, nutes, water. depends what stage they are at really and how they handle them.
Dont over fertilise anyway. Remember u can always add more, but u cant take it back once its added. Feed them little, if they want more, give it to them

Medium makes a difference. What medium we talking about?
what nuts are ya usen lol srry had to nuterients
i use ffof soil with perlite added
my veg ferts are pure blend pro and seaweed extract plants from seed get after 3rd set of full leaves
this is my old feeding regime
step 1 small seedlings and clones
cut a fresh cut off the mum about 3 inch long try and have at least 1 node below
waterline. cut everything leaf and branch shoots off from main stem
leave only the new growth shoot and 1 fan leaf and top growth shoot. cut the fan leaves
square so they root faster. use plain tap water PH'd @6.5 so in plain
water just add 1/4 teaspoon PH down to the gal
allways in fresh soil plain PH'd water for 1st watering only water
untill drainage is achieved then move to next plant. when plant feels light
in approx 2 days for established plants water again this time ferts
alternate feedings 1 plain water 1 ferted so on so forth.
i dont feed seedlings untill 2-3rd set of true leaves are out
1teaspoon pure blend pro grow per gal water and 1/4 tsp PH down your at 6.5ish
fresh rooted clones same as above
after 1wk bump upto 2tsp pbp grow still need 1/4 tsp PH down after 2 wk 1 tblspn, 3 wks 2 tblspn
step 2 flowering
when ya place into flower try n time so they are fed ferts
1st wk of flower
1tsp pbp grow
1tsp pbp bloom 1/4 tsp PH down
end of 1st wk flower hit them with
1tsp pbp grow
2tsp pbp bloom
1/8th tsp powdered kool bloom 1/4 tsp ph down
2nd wk flower
1/2 tsp pbp grow
2tsp pbp bloom
at the end of wk 2 add 1/4 tsp powdered koolbloom
wk 3 flower
2-3tsp pbp bloom 1/4 tsp ph down
at end of wk 3 hit them with 2-3 tsp bloom and 1/2 tsp powdered koolbloom and
3 squirts from eye dropper PH down
wk 4 flower
2-3 tsp pbp bloom and 1/2 tsp powdered koolbloom and
3 squirts from eye dropper PH down
wk 5 flower
2-3 tsp pbp bloom
1/2 tsp powdered koolbloom and 3 squirts from eye dropper PH down
stop all ferts end of wk 5 and begin only plain PH'd water
1/4 tsp ph down per gal water do this for next 10-14 days.
i wrote this for my son incase something ever happens to me so the PH up or down messurements for you most likely be differant
i've added few things to the feedings but this is a general idea on how i bust pound and a half every run from soil 9-12 plants in 2 gal grow bags.
i veg under cfls and flower under a 1k hps horti bulb

i always did feed feed water. also in flowerin ya cambring ya ppms way up if the plants can take why not give it . just slowly increase not all at once my advage ppm for differnt plant was around 1200 ppm. somepepole go alot higher than that each strain is differnt so add a lil at a time and watch your plants they will tell ya when to back off. best of luck
I am currently growing in Peat/Sphagnum/Perlite but will be switching to Coco when my new clones root.
How I feed:
Nutes (for established clones, vegging plants and flowering plants):
Feed Schedule:
All plants get fed the same.
In peat/sphagnum/perlite mix, I feed every other day.
Once every two weeks or so, I feed with plain water.
Once every month or so, I mix 1 tsp per gallon of Clearex with plain water and dunk each plant once, then I resume normal feeding.
In the last 2 weeks of flowering I switch to 1-2 tsp per gallon of Clearex with plain water and continue this every other day until the last two waterings before harvest.
Plants get 2 feedings (48 hours apart) with plain water before harvest.
I'm not an expert. Your results may vary! But it works for me with my plants (Serious AK47) in my environment.
How I feed:
Nutes (for established clones, vegging plants and flowering plants):
- 7g of GH MaxiBloom per 1.25 gallons. (In a 5 gallon container, I use 28g)
- 1/2 tsp of Dyna-Gro Pro-TeKt per gallon
Feed Schedule:
All plants get fed the same.
In peat/sphagnum/perlite mix, I feed every other day.
- Each plant gets submerged to the stem (entire container underwater up to the soil line) which forces any and all air pockets up out of the soil.
- When the bubbles stop, plant is removed from the bucket and set in an empty container to drain off excess fluid.
Once every two weeks or so, I feed with plain water.

Very good advice from anti. I do the same, but dont buy into clearex... I have never liked leaching product and just run 2 or 3 times the pot volume of water through them once a month or so. to each his own, but great advice from anti. I just recently started watering by submersion and think it is by far superior to top watering by hand.

Ya ever think about going ORGANIC?? This might sound like I'm being an ass...but I only "feed" my plants if they are hungry. If they are dark green, with maybe some burnt tips...they just get water. If they are a pale green or some of the bottom leaves are turning yellow then I will give them a tea. No schedule, no checklist...it's best to listen to your plants...they'll let you know if they are hungry.
tried all organic for a spell didnt like the yields, i knock out 1 and half pounds every 50 days now . thats 9 plants in 2 gal bags best i ever did with all organic was 1 pound and alot more plants then 9.
