What are weed fertilizers?

Weed fertilizers are essential nutrients added to the soil or irrigation water to ensure healthy and productive growth of cannabis plants. These fertilizers provide the necessary elements such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), along with other micronutrients, which are vital for development at each stage of cultivation. Using specific fertilizers for cannabis can significantly improve the yield, quality, and taste of the buds.

Types of cannabis fertilizers by cultivation phases

The cultivation of cannabis is divided into several phases, each requiring a specific type of fertilizer to maximize growth and production. Here we detail the appropriate fertilizers for each stage of the cannabis life cycle:

Germination and seedlings

In the germination phase and the beginning of the seedling stage, the nutritional needs are minimal. It is recommended to use mycorrhizae to accelerate root development and mild, well-balanced fertilizers with low N-P-K content, specifically designed for young plants. Liquid fertilizers are ideal at this stage because they are easily absorbed and avoid the risk of burning delicate roots. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure an adequate source of micronutrients to strengthen the root system.

Weed growth fertilizer

During the vegetative growth phase, weed plants require higher amounts of nitrogen (N) to promote vigorous development of stems and leaves. Growth fertilizers should have an N-P-K ratio where nitrogen is the predominant component. An example formula could be 3-1-2 or 4-2-3. These nutrients promote a robust and healthy structure, preparing the plant for successful flowering.

Pre-flowering and flowering

The transition from the vegetative phase to flowering, known as pre-flowering, requires an adjustment in feeding. During pre-flowering, phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are gradually increased to stimulate the formation of buds and flowers. Once in the flowering phase, flowering fertilizers for cannabis should have a higher proportion of phosphorus and potassium (such as a 1-3-2 or 2-4-4 formula), which is essential for the development of large and dense flowers.

PK fertilizers and bud fatteners

PK fertilizers, rich in phosphorus and potassium, are fundamental in the final phase of flowering. These fertilizers are designed to "fatten" the buds, increasing their size, density, and resin production. A good PK fertilizer could have a formula of 0-10-10, 0-13-14, 0-50-30, or similar. These bud fatteners not only contribute to the weight and volume of the flowers but also improve the production of terpenes and cannabinoids, enhancing the aroma and effects of the weed.

Bud maturation and flavor

In the maturation phase, it is vital to gradually reduce the amount of fertilizers to allow the plants to consume the remaining nutrients. This helps to clean any residue in the buds, improving the final flavor. Many growers opt to use "flushing" products in the last weeks, which eliminate excess salts and improve the purity and taste of the final product.

Stimulants and additives for weed cultivation

To get the maximum yield from your cannabis plants, it is essential to complement basic fertilizers with specific stimulants and additives. These products enhance various aspects of plant growth and development, optimizing nutrient absorption and boosting flower and resin production.

Root stimulator

The root stimulator is a crucial additive in the early stages of cannabis cultivation. Its main function is to promote strong and extensive root development, which is fundamental for efficient nutrient and water absorption. Root stimulators usually contain natural hormones, vitamins, and algae extracts, which encourage rapid and healthy root system growth. This not only improves the plants' resistance to stress and diseases but also establishes a solid foundation for vigorous growth during the vegetative and flowering stages.

Growth stimulator

The growth stimulator is used during the vegetative phase to accelerate plant development. These products are formulated with a combination of growth hormones, amino acids, and micronutrients that favor greater chlorophyll production, improving photosynthesis and energy production. The result is faster and more robust growth, with plants developing more branches and leaves, better preparing them for abundant flowering. Growth stimulators can also help plants recover more quickly from stress situations, such as transplanting or adverse environmental conditions.

Flowering stimulator

The flowering stimulator is essential to maximize the productive potential of cannabis plants during the flowering phase. These additives contain a mix of phosphorus, potassium, sugars, and other components that promote the formation and fattening of buds. Additionally, many flowering stimulators include ingredients that increase resin and terpene production, improving both the yield and final quality of the harvest. By using a good flowering stimulator, growers can expect larger, denser, and more aromatic flowers, with a higher cannabinoid content.

Types of weed fertilizers

Success in cannabis cultivation largely depends on the choice of the right fertilizers. At Pevgrow, we offer a variety of options that cater to different cultivation needs and preferences. Below, we explain the characteristics and benefits of organic fertilizers, mineral fertilizers, and biominerals, so you can choose the one that best suits your cultivation.

Organic fertilizers for weed

Organic fertilizers are a popular choice among cannabis growers seeking more natural and eco-friendly cultivation methods. These fertilizers are derived from organic materials such as compost, manure, guano, bone meal, and plant and algae extracts. The benefits of organic fertilizers include:

• Soil improvement: They enrich the soil structure, increasing its capacity to retain water and nutrients.
• Slow nutrient release: They provide gradual and consistent feeding, avoiding the risk of overfeeding and root burn.
• Sustainability: They are biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
• Product quality: They can improve the taste, aroma, and overall quality of the buds.

Mineral fertilizers for cannabis

Mineral fertilizers, also known as chemical fertilizers, are formulated with mineral salts that dissolve easily in water, providing immediate nutrition to the plants. These fertilizers are ideal for growers seeking precise control over their plants' feeding and quick results. The main benefits of mineral fertilizers include:

• Immediate availability: Nutrients are immediately available to the plants, which is crucial during high-demand periods.
• Precision in dosing: They allow for exact adjustment of nutrient quantities according to the specific needs of the plants at each growth phase.
• High yield: They can significantly increase the yield and size of the buds due to the optimal availability of nutrients.

Biominerals, the middle ground

Biomineral fertilizers combine the best of both worlds: the naturalness of organics and the effectiveness of minerals. These products are formulated with a mix of organic and mineral nutrients, offering balanced nutrition that promotes both soil health and rapid, vigorous plant growth. The benefits of biomineral fertilizers include:

• Perfect balance: They offer both immediate and long-term nutrient release, ensuring continuous access to necessary nutrients for the plants.
• Soil improvement and yield: Like organics, they improve soil structure but also provide the rapid growth associated with minerals.
• Flexibility: They are suitable for a wide range of cultivation methods, including soil, coco, and hydroponics.

Formats of weed fertilizers

At Pevgrow, we understand that the choice of fertilizer format is crucial to meet the specific needs of your cultivation method and personal preferences. We offer a variety of formats so you can select the one that best suits your cannabis cultivation practices. Below, we present the main formats available:

Liquid fertilizers

Liquid fertilizers are a very popular choice among cannabis growers due to their ease of use and rapid absorption. These fertilizers dissolve easily in water, which facilitates their application both in irrigation and hydroponic systems. The benefits of liquid fertilizers include:

• Ease of application: They can be mixed directly with irrigation water, allowing for uniform nutrient distribution.
• Rapid absorption: Nutrients are quickly absorbed by the roots, providing immediate nutrition to the plants.
• Flexibility: They allow for precise control of dosing and can be easily adjusted according to the plant's needs at each cultivation phase.

Solid fertilizers

Solid fertilizers, also known as granulated or powdered fertilizers, are an excellent option for those who prefer a slower and more consistent nutrient release. These fertilizers can be mixed with the substrate before planting or applied as top-dressing during growth. Among the most well-known solid fertilizers are worm humus and bat guano, but you should know that there are many more. The benefits of solid fertilizers include:

• Prolonged release: They provide continuous nutrition to the plants, reducing the need for frequent applications.
• Soil improvement: They contribute to improving soil structure and fertility in the long term.
• Less frequent application: Ideal for growers who prefer less intervention and maintenance in their cultivation.

Tablets and pills

Fertilizer tablets and pills are a convenient and efficient solution for feeding cannabis plants. A while ago, only Bio-Tabs used this type of fertilizer, but today you have tablets from other brands like Advanced Nutrients, Top Crop, or B.A.C. among others. These concentrated forms of nutrients gradually dissolve in the substrate or irrigation water, providing controlled nutrient release. The benefits of tablets and pills include:

• Simplicity of use: Easy to apply, simply insert them into the substrate or dissolve them in water, reducing preparation time and effort.
• Controlled release: They provide gradual and consistent feeding, ensuring that plants receive balanced nutrition over a prolonged period.
• Space and storage: They take up less space and are easy to store, which is ideal for growers with space limitations.

Fertilizers for Cannabis According to the Type of Cultivation

How to Choose the Right Fertilizers for Weed

Choosing the right fertilizers for your weed grow is crucial to ensure a successful harvest. Here we explain the key factors to consider to make the best decision:

1. Grower's Personal Preferences

The choice of brand or type of fertilizer can be influenced by the grower's personal preferences. Some brands, like Advanced Nutrients, are popular for their advanced technology and ease of use, while BioBizz is preferred by those seeking organic and sustainable products. Research the available brands and choose one that aligns with your values and growing goals.

2. Growing Experience

The grower's experience is a crucial factor. Beginners can benefit from fertilizers that include automatic pH correctors, like the pH Perfect line from Advanced Nutrients, which simplify the feeding process. More experienced growers may prefer products that allow for more precise control, such as the three-part fertilizers (Grow, Micro, Bloom) from General Hydroponics.

3. Type of Grow

The type of grow (soil, coco, hydroponics, aeroponics) determines the type of fertilizer needed:

• Soil: Organic fertilizers like BioBizz Bio-Grow. If you want to prepare a rich and natural mix, don't miss this article explaining how to make Super Soil.
• Coco: Specific products like Canna Coco A and B.
• Hydroponics: Completely soluble solutions like Flora Series from General Hydroponics.
• Aeroponics: Nutrients that are quickly absorbed like Botanicare Pure Blend Pro.

4. Strains You Will Grow

Some cannabis strains have specific nutritional needs. Autoflowering strains, for example, require balanced and fast-absorbing fertilizers like Top Auto from Top Crop. If you want to expand your knowledge, here you can see the best specific fertilizers for autoflowering strains. Research the needs of the strains you plan to grow and select fertilizers that match those needs.

5. Available Budget

The budget can significantly influence the choice of fertilizers. High-quality organic products, like Advanced Nutrients, can be more expensive, but they offer long-term benefits in terms of flavor and sustainability. On the other hand, mineral fertilizers like Hesi or Atami offer good value for money and are effective.

6. Goals in Yield and Quality

If your main goal is to maximize yield and quality, consider fertilizers designed to increase flower and resin production. Bloombastic from Atami and Monster Bloom from Grotek are excellent options to improve the size and density of buds, as well as resin production. On the other hand, organic fertilizers from Biobizz and Canna offer better organoleptic properties of the final product, although the buds may be less tight or heavy compared to growing with mineral fertilizers.

EC and PH Table to Ensure Fertilizer Absorption for Weed

No matter the quantity and quality of the fertilizers you use to feed your cannabis plants if you don't adjust the PH so they can assimilate them. The EC or electrical conductivity is the ability to conduct electricity in an aqueous medium, and it can also be measured by the amount of dissolved salts, in this case in PPM (parts per million). Below you can see a table showing the optimal PH to achieve the best absorption of each of the macroelements and microelements that weed needs for its perfect development. At Pevgrow you will find PH meters and liquids to raise or lower the PH, as well as EC meters and dissolved salts meters.

Optimal PH by Element

Ideal PH Depending on the Week and Type of Cultivation

Ideal EC Depending on the Week and Type of Cultivation

PPM to EC Conversion

Cultivation Tables Depending on the Fertilizer Brand

Each brand of fertilizers for weed has its own cultivation table where they recommend the specific doses of each of their fertilizers depending on the week or cultivation phase the plants are in. In our blog we explain how to interpret these tables, and I advise you to take a look at them so you are clear on how to use these products:

• Advanced Nutrients Growing Table
• Biobizz Growing Table
• Canna Growing Table
• Plagron Growing Table
• Hesi Growing Table
• Top Crop Growing Table
