What fertilizers are used to grow hemp

Fertilizers for cannabis provide it with everything it needs, replacing the natural balance of trace elements found in the soil. Top dressing is divided into organic and mineral, each of which has two sides of the coin. Organics include compost, vegetable humus, bone meal, manure and more. Among the strengths stand out low prices, long decay and a small risk of overflow. Such fertilizers do not affect the taste of the cone, leaving the inflorescence with a natural aroma. Mineral supplements are substances derived synthetically. Their advantages include good digestibility and easy use.

How to fertilize marijuana

At different stages of growing, hemp needs separate components. During germination, the seeds can easily do without additives. To speed up the process, you can use a growth stimulator. Being in the growing season, a young plant requires more nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Elements are involved in the creation of foliage, without which the growth of green mass is impossible. After the start of the next stage - flowering, a hunger for phosphorus wakes up in the plant. It is needed for the formation of cones. Top dressing with nitrogen and potassium should be continued, but in smaller quantities. 5 - 7 days before harvesting stop fertilizing the plant. This is necessary to wash out the remnants of substances from the inflorescences.

Is it possible to do without top dressing?

Some beginners wonder if a bush can grow without fertilizer? While the question may seem ridiculous to experienced growers, the answer is yes. But this does not mean that you can get a crop of grass by growing it like indoor flowers. To exclude the use of top dressing, you will need a large pot, at least 20 liters. The volume is filled with high-quality soil mixture. It is better if the soil is purchased specifically for hemp growing. Good soil already has all the necessary nutrients that will feed the plant. However, this method can still lead to a shortage of components.

Overdose of marijuana fertilizers

Beginner gardeners can literally drown the grass in their care. It is especially easy to do this by feeding with a mineral composition. With a surplus of fertilizers, the plant feels stress, gets chemical burns and loses its healthy appearance. In case of overflow diagnostics, the soil must be washed with settled water. In such cases, as a rule, cannabis does not need treatment. Cannabis regenerates itself a few days after rinsing.
