Whats up DGC. I have been on and off about buying and using 2 different products one for grow phase and one for bloom. I use advanced nutrients sensi grow and sensi bloom A and B. I am running low on bloom and have a good bit of grow left. I am only growing autoflowers and they really are only in veg for maybe 30 days at the most. So question is do I really need to feed only Bloom for bloom phase or will grow still work fine? The grow is 4-2-4 and bloom is 4-3-4. This is my base nutrient of course and i add others for the stage of growth she is in. Im trying to save some money but want to hear what the DGC thinks first.
just use the 0-4-5 (part B) in flower your part A 4-0-0 do not use in middle and late flower because the plant doesn’t need all the “n” if any at all in mentioned stages (middle (weeks 4-6) and late flower ( weeks 6-8)
Thanks man. Not sure why this didn’t post with my name under it. But will B still work alone if not mixed with the A?
Like Hawkman said, you don’t want to feed the grow nutes during the bloom phase. They don’t need as much nitrogen as veg plants do but they do need higher levels of P & K. Advanced Nutrients are great but can get expensive fast if you’re buying all the extras so if you’re trying to save cash grab some more bloom, don’t fall for all the hype on AN’s extras and buy some Recharge instead. You’ll be 🤘
For the A & B question: It depends on what stage you’re in. AN separates the N out into A & the P & K into B. You can use one without the other but your plant might not be getting everything it needs, depending on what stage it’s in. You’ll definitely want to give it the B mid to mid-late.
Thanks for your response. I plan to use part A and B simutanesly through Veg and during flower is when I would cut down the dose to half strength. The perfect Sensi blend i use has a PH tech that works only if both parts are used so ill always need to add both A and B. Just wanted to cut out the Grow or the Bloom. Since I’m using recharge and other bloom and veg nutes along with my base Perfect Sensi I’m going to either feed Grow A/B full grow or just Bloom A/B. I’ll expierment and share some results later down the road. Thanks for all the support.
Stay Irie friends
If I had to pick it would be bloom then. A bunch of people do this with autos especially if using soil as the base soil has enough N in it out of the bag to get you to flowering.
Autos flip by the third week you should see the noticeable pistils popping out at the nodes yet some say there really isn’t much of veg cycle at all and that they head strait towards flowering almost immediately.
