Cannabis Feeding Schedule
Hi guys, I’ve been growing Cannabis for 2 years now with bottled nutes, FoxFarm. Now my girls are confussed and look locked out since I was following feeding schedule of the KNFCalculator. Is there any direction you can point me out? Any chart, reading or book is very apprecciated. Thanks for your support.
From the KNF library
The library does not cover nutrient lockout or the switch from bottled feed. It does explain the KNF feeding logic.
Drake says flowers follow the same fat/skinny schedule as regular crops. Plants cycle through childhood, puberty, and reproduction, and the KNF Food shifts from growth tips to unripe fruit to ripe fruit as the plant matures. (Office Hours Ep. 39, 37:48) Growth tips assist vegetative growth. Flowers and unripe fruits assist the changeover period, the plant's puberty. (Office Hours Ep. 31, 46:06)
Cho warns against feeding by calendar alone. Following a fertilizing schedule without considering conditions can damage fruit trees. (Cho, Theory, p. 115) He also found that phosphoric acid works best at flower bud differentiation. (Cho, Theory, p. 10)
For reading, start with Cho's theory of the nurturing cycle. (Cho, Theory, p. 10)
