Fertilizing cannabis is essential to its healthy growth, potency and quality yields. Cannabis plants require many essential nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Many growers choose store-bought organic nutrient mixes specifically tailored for growing marijuana while others opt for homemade solutions which allow more control. Which fertilizer you select ultimately depends upon several factors including your cultivation method, strain and phase of flowering.

Organic fertilizers come in many varieties, from worm castings and blood meal for nitrogen fertilization; bat guano, earthworm castings and rock dust as sources of phosphorus; wood ash/kelp meal/wood ash fertilizers as potassium sources and dolomite lime as a calcium and magnesium source – often more effective than synthetic and chemical options due to being made up of naturally-occurring elements.

Organic marijuana fertilizers typically absorb through the roots, helping balance pH levels and improve soil structure while simultaneously improving cannabis cultivation in soil-based systems. Some organic cannabis fertilizers come in liquid form for more direct watering of your crops directly; their labels typically display their N-P-K ratio (for instance 10-4-4 indicates 10% nitrogen, 4% phosphorus, and 4% potassium by weight), making these ideal for the vegetative stage while those containing less nitrogen might work better during flowering stage.

Experienced cultivators recommend selecting organic fertilizers when it comes to choosing the ideal weed fertilizer, as they’re healthier for both plants and the environment. Organic cannabis fertilizers usually include vegetable and animal waste as well as beneficial minerals found in sediments like gypsum or glacial rock dust, making these powder and liquid options easy to apply before planting your seeds.

Addition of microbial inoculants can also increase your crop’s nutrient availability, such as those available from Xtreme Gardening such as Mykos mycorrhizal inoculant which works to promote root growth and increase uptake by adding beneficial microbes into the plant, while Great White mycorrhizae enhances this by stimulating root fungi.

All-in-one organic marijuana fertilizers offer convenience by providing all the nutrients your plants require at every stage of growth in just one bottle. They’re specially formulated with soil, coco coir and hydroponics cultivation in mind for maximum success. FloraGro helps enhance development during the vegging stage while FloraMicro promotes flowering stage growth. FloraComboTM features three pH-balanced organic marijuana nutrients designed specifically for hydroponic use, but these organic nutrients can also be utilized with soil or coco coir growing media. When applied during vegging and blooming stages, FloraGro, FloraMicro, and Big Bloom can be mixed together for custom nutrient solutions that you can either apply directly onto roots or spray directly onto foliage for best results.
