Nutrients House & Garden nute question

[DogterB]

Hey all. I'm using House and Garden nutrients and have worked my way up to almost 100% strength on them. I'm in about week 2 of flowering and in a few weeks I'll be starting the Bud XL & Top Booster and a few weeks after that I start the Shooting Powder. My question is, should I start at 1/4-1/2 strength on these like I did with the nutes to begin with? Or do I follow the schedule and go full strength? I've attached the schedule, let me know what you think or have had experience doing.

@Mañ'O'Green I know you said you've used this line before, any advice?

Thanks all!

@DogterB Soil, Coco or hydro and the schedule did not attach? I love the results I got with H&G. Remember the nutrients do not "Push the plant" They just need to be available to the plant when it needs it.

Can you post pictures of your plants in regular light?

My bad! My head was elsewhere last night, here's the schedule I'm using.

I'm at school now but later when I'm home I'll pull her out and take a few pics

Sorry for the delay, school's been a beast. Here are some pics, I pulled her out of the tent for them. You can probably see some residual damage from when you helped me out with magnesium deficiency. Her tops have been drooping since late yesterday. I thought it was because she was pretty dry, but I waited to water her until this morning because she was about to go into the dark last night when I got to see her. After watering early this morning, she perked up some but is still drooping a bit. Idk, it's been super hot here this week and I've been having a hard time keeping her temps lower than 80F or so. The last pic shows some dark brown spots that I didn't notice before, so I don't know if they are new or old, worried they may be new.

It looks like too hot with maybe too high or too low humidity. Under those circumstances the plant closes the stomata to protect the plants hydration. So water and nutrients slow to a crawl moving through the plant. If this goes on for long the plant runs out of nutrients to grow the plant even though there is plenty available to the the roots.

Get temperatures and humidity in range. If you cannot get temps down raise humidity to 65%.

If you have kelp, fulvic acid, molasses and yucca powder or Earth Juice Micro-Blast you could do a little foliar feed an hour before lights out. This helps the plant pull in some nutrients.

Do you have the magic green? if so do a foliar with that.

Thanks man, I’ve been trying hard to get my humidity up. I’ve got a humidifier maxed out, sitting in front of my oscillating fan blowing into the tent, but can barely get it over 50%. Problem is that in the doorway to the room I have a big box fan to help bring in cool air, and if I move the fan and shut the door, temps go up. The bottom grating sits directly over an ac vent and I have a small fan over it blowing up to help. I also hang wet washcloths in the tent to try and get more humidity. This week has been killing me with these temps, she was great before this heatwave.

The only thing you listed that I have on hand is molasses, which I give her once a week with a watering. I have pretty much everything on the nute schedule, except the magic green and algen extract. Ugh. Tomorrow is gonna be another scorcher too, but is supposed to cool drastically this weekend and next week. Thinking tomorrow I might rotate some ice packs in the tent to help cool her down. Then maybe I can get that door shut and get more moisture in the air

Hang a wet towel with one end in a bucket of water in front of that box fan. Do the best you can. The plant won't die.

I’ll try that today and see how it goes. Hoping today is the last really hot day for awhile. As always, I appreciate the advice!

When i ran h&g i ran it on 60% of the chart for everything from day 1 to cut. I hate to support M but the line was gold. I have 4 full a+b sets now and got a reup on the xl. set for the year.

I use HnG cocos at about 70% dilution, roughly.
With strains I know that can handle it, I will pump it up to 100% during mid bloom but as man O war says, its just having them available. I often lightly flush with plain water once a week too as I've had toxicity issues in the past but that's more because I don't have a flood n drain set up.
I've had alot of success lately using HnG and also Aptus bloom amendments with plain water every third day or whatever.
I've seen no real benefit to using shooting powder myself so I don't bother.
My biggest tip is to add a little worm castings in coco at transplant and also a top dress. I like to topdress coco with bokashi too.
