- Vegetative. Feed your plants with a fertilizer that has a 3:1:1 NPK ratio. A 1:1:1 ratio may be sufficient if you have quality soil with nitrogen.
- Flowering. Switch the NPK ratio to 5:10:7 in early bloom. Drop it to 1:3:2 at around mid-flowering, then 0:3:2 later in the stage. Stop feeding nutrients around two weeks before harvest. Flush your crop with distilled or purified water.
