Fertilizers

Marijuana Horticulture

by Jorge Cervantes

Plants can be fertilized enough to make them respond and grow well within a temperature range of 60-90F, reasonable humidity, adequate sunshine, and moderate wind.

Be sparing with fertilizer the first month after transplanting. Depending upon fertilizer, application could as often as every watering or as seldom as every week or two.

If fertilizing with every watering, you may need to dilute the food to half strength or less until you figure out the proper dosage.

Fertilize with a mild, soluble flowering solution for germination and seedling growth. Change to a high nitrogen formula during the vegetative stage and back to a super-bloom when the long nights induce flowering.

Use grandular concentrated fertilizers or organic fertilizers that are lightweight and not bulky to transport and store.

Build organic soils using different natural substances. Always use the most readily available form of the element.
