Cannabis Flowering Stage Nutrient Schedule: Week by Week
Flowering cannabis needs less nitrogen and more phosphorus and potassium. A week-by-week schedule with pH, EC and flush targets.
Cannabis Nutrients Schedule: Optimal Timing for Your Grow
A well-timed nutrient schedule is crucial for healthy cannabis plants. Begin with an initial flush of water to remove residual nutrients and allow plants to adapt to the grow medium.

Initial Weeks
In the first two weeks, focus on a nitrogen-rich nutrient solution. This promotes robust growth in the early stages. Monitor pH levels regularly to ensure they remain between 6.0 and 6.5.

Flowering Stage
Transition to a higher phosphorus and potassium solution as the plant enters the flowering stage, typically weeks 4 to 6. This encourages flower development and fruiting.

Final Weeks
As the flowering stage progresses, increase calcium and magnesium for stronger stems and overall plant strength. Reduce nutrient application in the final two weeks to avoid excessive foliage growth and to encourage trichome development.

Monitoring and Adjustments
Regularly check nutrient levels and pH. Adjust as needed to maintain a balance. Over-feeding can harm plants, while underfeeding can stifle growth.
