Hey guys, i found a box of 'Wonder-Gro Plant Food' in the house and was wondering if its any good for my marijuana plants. I don't use ferts and have been reading up about them.. and then came across this wonder-gro stuff in my shed.. so i was thinking could i use it, does it have the right amounts of NPK? will it work for flowering or veg? wel heres the details:

N.P.K ratio = 16.10.27
N - 16%
Phosphorus - 10%
Potassium - 27%
Mg - 1 %

and then just the regular trace elements.. what do u guys think of this? what will this do for my plant, is it any good or not?
Thanks, and Happy Growing!

That would work, if your plants are needing some nutes. I feed mine Pure Blend and would recommend either Pure Blend or Fox Farm but I just love organic.

Would it work alright for the flowering stage, beacuse i know marijuana needs differernt levels of nutrients at different stages this is the bit i get confused with.. will it give me bigger buds than using no nutes at all? will it do anything for them in flowering cycle if so how often should i use the ferts every time i water or every other water or what? thanks again.

Happy Growing!

It will work for flower but not as well as flowering nutes.

N makes the plant grow

P makes the bud sites

K makes the buds

in a rough breakdown... P and K may be mixed around It may be K makes bud sites, etc.

Since you are already putting all this energy into it, I would spend $20 and increase the crop... you'll save more than that in the end with the small investment now.

actually, that fert will work best for veg, although its not the optimal ratios
for veg a ratio of 2-1-1 is reccommended (1-1-1 will work just as well)
for flower a ratio of 1-2-1 is whats reccomended (1-2-2 will work well also)
find something close and be ware of miracle grow. not sure if its available in the UK but it has a tendency to burn faster then other brands.
