i just bought this at home depot and hopefully its useful, how much should i use on my plant

I would start with 1/4 strength and work my way up to full over a few weeks (water,1/4nute,water,1/2nute,water, full nute)
but thats just how I do it.

 

[Heshyyyy]

ok but how do i actually apply the nutes to the plant, just lay it on the soil

 

[goneja]

follow the instructions

 

[goneja]

I tried to find that product on their website but its not on it, so you will just have to see what it says on the back

 

[goneja]

oh I found it, says timed release I guess you mix it in with the soil. i've never used this kind of fert

 

[Heshyyyy]

i guess ill just give it a little huh?

Start with a teaspoon broadcasted around the base of the plant and water it in. Wait a week and see how the plant reacts if all is good keep slowly increasing dosage until you reach what is recommended. But remember these are time release fertilizers that leach from the top of the soil down to the roots so if you overdose your plants its harder to flush them. It can be done but you'd need to scrape all the fertilizer off the top of the soil flush them with straight water and then re apply the fertilizer with a little less. It will still work without a doubt its just harder to fine tune and dial in the nutrient level your plant needs like you can with liquid feeding.

can i just add that teaspoon to the soil if the soil is already wet? i dont want to over water

Wait till it drys out....

 

[Heshyyyy]

the thing that sucks though is that i live in south florida and its been rainy from like 3 in the afternoon till the next morning and all over again. the sun hits it at about 8 30

 

[Heshyyyy]

so it doesnt dry out easily even though when the sun is out its almost 100 and i want to use nutes soon.

 

[theloadeddragon]

wow.... really.... cool....


Im so baked right now I don't know what to tell you....

 

[Antny420]

what soil are they in? How long has it been in it?

 

[Heshyyyy]

they are in scotts potting soil, they were in MG moisture control in a 6in pot before i transplanted to that 1 gal.

 

[Antny420]

If it is raining every night put some on there and let the rain soak it in

 

[theloadeddragon]

don't forget the hash

Use liquid alaska fish emulsion for veg and bloom for flower easier just water in. Dirrtyd

 

[Heshyyyy]

i already bought this stuff for veg and put it in first thing this morning so it could be a new day of nutes. i will use bloom boost when it flowers though

Just to let you know its a time release so you dont need to be applying it a lot. You can increase dosage but if your plants are healthy chances are you may not even have to reapply until its flowering time in which you would need a different fert. Just watch the plants and read through a few basic grow guides on this site and others.
