cannabis nutrient requirement chart

i hope this doesnt sound like a stupid question but does anybody have a general nutrient requirement chart for cannabis?
i know which nutes to feed and when but im after a chart with a breakdown of the nutrients that the plants require at each stage such
as the first couple of weeks from seed/clone and the same with veg and flowering requirements
ive looked on here and online and havnt found anything
no pointless or sarcastic replies please

Different nutes will be given in differing doses. Go to the website of the brand of nutes you use and they should have a feeding chart on
there.

If I understand you right, you mean what amount of each nute is required ?
So as a seedling, you would need ;
50 ppm N
30 ppm P
70 ppm K
35 ppm Ca
10 ppm Mg plus micros. Is that what you are meaning ?
Because I think it's very important that we should all understand what levels our plants operate best with the right amount of nutes.
Mel Franks came up with the 100 N 100 P 200 K 60 Mg formula many years ago, and it's just as valid today as ever.
If you can keep close enough to these numbers all the way through veg and flower, you will provide your plants with all necessary
elements, in the right quantities for vibrant growth.
What most of the nutrient manufacturers' try to hide from their customers is the fact that just about any plant food is as good as
another. they understand better than we do, just how much money is to be had from the "NEW" gardeners.
So, they have us buying 5 bottles for about 40 per grow. Mixing all the essential elements up into stupid configurations, so that you
must use all the stuff just to get right ppms to your plants.
The range that cannabis will grow at is very large. For example;
Dyna-Gro Grow (7-9-5) (NH4)2.6% (NO3)4.4% Mg0.5% Ca2.0% Fe0.1% S0.05% Mn0.05%
@10ml/Gal
N 242
P 136
K 143
Mg 17
Ca 69
Look how high N and P are, yet K is low and Mg needs supplementing.
Then you have AN;
AN Sensi Bloom A (2-4-0) Mg0.6% Ca2.1%
1g/1mL =1g/mL
@10mL/Gal
N 53
P 46
K0
Mg 16
Ca 55
AN Sensi Bloom B (2-0-4) S1.1%
1g/1mL =1g/mL
@10mL/Gal
N 53
P0
K 88
Mg NOT LISTED
S 29
That 106 N 46 P and 88 K for flower. Very low P and K for a flowering food.
What that was showing you was the discrepencies that exist with these foods. Veg food with toxic looking levels of P, and flowering food
with hardly any P.
So, what is it? How much is enough? That brings us back to Mel with his 100 100 200 60 ppms. It's impossible to know the exact amounts
of each element for each particular stage, so many variables to consider.
Here's something to ponder on. How can so many people across the world simply use a one part nutrient solution, and grow the finest
dope ?
No seperate veg or flower food. No Boosters or additives, just a one part. Whomever makes the nute, knows that as long as it's not toxic
with one element, and has all the micro's, then it's fine to use.
Like GH Maxibloom
GH MaxiBloom Powder (5-15-14) (NH4)0.5% (NO3)4.5% Mg3.5% Ca5.0% Fe.1% S4.0%
@7g/Gal
N 95 MEL SAYS N 100
P 115 P 100
K 214 K 200
Mg 64 Mg 60
Ca 90
I know it a bloom, but at 7g a gal it works out just like Mel's magic formula.
I hope that was what you were asking, and if I was helpful.
If that wasn't what you were asking, then please disregard it and we shall say no more about it, lol.
Cheers Bigred
