A few Days ago I started having a few problems with my girls and one of the suggestions to help them was to start using organic nutes because they are less likely to cause nute burn etc..

SO since I am two weeks into flower I decided to go with Espoma Flower-Tone with an NPK of 3-5-7. Well after I got home and read the directions it says to-- sprinkle 1/4 cup around the plant like your adding salt and pepper to food being careful not to get any on the stem or foliage then water thoroughly.

My question is...Did I get the right stuff? I am used to using products that you desolve in water and then feed your plants. And if this is not the right stuff what exactly do I need to get?

I know lots of people use Fox Farms but the place I shop doesnt carry that brand and since this is my first grow and im learning LOTS of things I should have done diff., I want to wait on ordering anything online (such as Fox Farms) so I can order everything at the same time and get everything I need for my next grow.


Maybe im just being paranoid and should just do what it says on the back of the bag, BUT I wanted to make sure since this is my first Organic purchase and dont want to mess it up by adding the wrong stuff.

Thanks in advance for your help! :heart:
 
When in doubt use 1/2 of the rec amount of nutrients. How old are your plants? I use botanicare pro grow and bloom they are made from a tea of of bat guano, bone meal, seaweed extract and more. They work really well and I have'nt burnt my plants even when I gave a newly rooted clone full strength bloom nutrients! Plus they are only $40 for the 2 bottles which will get you thru the full cycle. Whatever you decide remember you can use dolomite lime at 1 tablespoon per gallon of mix instead of buying cal mag. A six dollar bag of dolomite lime will take care of something like 50 gallons of soil.
