Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using Cannabis Fertilizer
Using cannabis fertilizer correctly is vital for the health of your plants. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:
Over-fertilization: Over-fertilizing is a common mistake that can damage your cannabis plants. Too many nutrients can lead to nutrient burn, stunted growth, or even plant death. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended dosage and start with a lower amount if you're unsure.
Neglecting pH Levels: The pH of your growing medium (soil or hydroponics) plays a significant role in nutrient uptake. Cannabis plants prefer a pH range between 6.0 and 7.0. Make sure to regularly test and adjust the pH of your water and nutrient solution to keep it within the optimal range.
Not Flushing Before Harvest: It's essential to flush your cannabis plants with plain water before harvest to remove any excess nutrients from the plant. This helps improve the taste and smoothness of the final product. Neglecting this step can result in a harsh and unpleasant smoking experience.
