  • Seedling Booster: 1.5 tbsp

Vegetative Stage (Weeks 1–4)

  • Water: 8 liters

  • Growtime Nutrients: 1.5 tbsp

Flowering Stage (Weeks 1–8)

  • Water: 24 liters

  • Flowertime Nutrients: 4 tbsp

  • Plant Booster: 1.5 tbsp (used only in Weeks 7–8)

Standard NPK Nutrient Program (Tablespoon Conversion)

Seedling Stage (Weeks 1–2)

  • Water: 8 liters

  • Seedling Booster: 0.25 tbsp

Vegetative Stage (Weeks 1–4)

  • Water: 8 liters

  • Growtime Nutrients: 0.5 tbsp

Flowering Stage (Weeks 1–8)

  • Water: 24 liters

  • Flowertime Nutrients: 1.5 tbsp

  • Plant Booster: 0.33 tbsp (used only in Weeks 7–8)
