Plants with a short flowering period of 8 weeks or less need higher amounts of immediately available potassium in the early stages to produce more and heavier fruits and flowers in a shorter time.
Potassium is needed in large amounts and plays a major role in plant metabolism. It regulates CO2 uptake, is essential for the production of the energy source for photosynthesis
Green House Powder Feeding can be used on all media.
The feeding schedule is slightly different, however, and if you are using something other than soil, we recommend using a PH and EC meter to achieve the desired values
and have full control over your feeding solution.
Easy grower
If you are growing on fertilized soil, we recommend starting with powder feeding 2-4 weeks after planting the seeds and starting with a mild solution (0.25g per liter).
During the vegetative phase, you can increase the feeding up to 0.5g per liter.
At the beginning of the flowering stage, you should slowly increase the amount of powder feeding until you reach 1g per liter.
Following this schedule, there should usually be no problem and growers will achieve a good yield.
Experienced Grower
Experienced growers usually measure their nutrient solution to give the plants the exact amount of nutrients and the correct pH value of the solution.
Whether you are growing coco, hydroponics or aeroponics – with all these systems you should measure your pH and EC values.
When you use a pH and EC meter, you can optimize your cultivation and achieve much better results.
Steps for mixing nutrient solution:
1. a) Check the pH and EC value of the water and make sure the temperature is around 18-22 degrees Celsius. You should also check if your water contains enough Calcium.
b) If your EC is 0.0 (using RO or rainwater), add Calcium to your water before adding powder feeding. Make sure your EC rises up to 0.3-0.4 EC
2. Add Powder Feeding and mix well for 2-3 minutes, then measure the EC value. Repeat if necessary until you reach the desired value.
3. Once you have reached the desired EC value, wait 15-30 minutes.
4. Then measure the PH and adjust if necessary with PH up or PH down – mix well for 2-3 minutes and wait another 15-30 minutes before measuring.
5. Once you have reached the desired values, feed your plants.
