Adding nutrients to your indoor grown weed can be a surprisingly difficult task. Not only do you run the risk of burning your plant's roots, but actually mixing the fertilizer with the soil can be a difficult process. In this post, I will try and sum up what I have read on this indoor grow guide. Throughout the life cycle of your plant, you will not use one, but three different types of nutrient all with varying chemical properties.
When the plant is approximately at the end of its third week of growth, you will add the first dose of fertilizer. Growers often begin the nutrient process with Fish Emulsion with a mix of 5-1-1. The 5-1-1 mix is a very gentle formula of fertilizer, and is safe to use on your plants at this stage. You will want to follow the directions, but start off with about 1/2 of the recommended dose on the package, then work your way up.
When the plant has matured a bit more and is about six to seven weeks along, you will want to change to Bone Meal fertilizer with a mix ratio of 1-11-0. This is a little bit harsher of a fertilizer, but is safe to use on the plant after the root structure is firmly established. You will continue to use this fertilizer until you or the plant decide it is time to being the flowering process.
The final fertilizer you will use, is Bone Meal with a mix of 1-11-1. While this may seem the same as the 1-11-0 mix, it is not. The difference in chemical properties is just enough at this stage to make a difference.
There you have it, you don't know everything about weed fertilizer for indoor plants, but you know enough to be dangerous. Enjoy!
