Azomite

I have a 2kg bin of azomite and i was wondering if i should add 1/2c per week or dump equal part amongst the plants now at beginning of bloom.

Just amend with it once along with some compost and whatever else; let it set for 30 days. Amend it again when you recycle the soil. You'll get no benefit from adding it with frequency. You probably won't notice any difference either way.

Thanks!

I know that I am kind of late to the show, but adding too much of anything is not a good idea. Whatever you are adding will have an antagonist relationship with other minerals. Let's say that you are already fine with the amount of Ca and Mg that you have and you add more, you will be driving your potassium levels down at the critical time of flowering. I started using 1/2 greensand with azomite because it has potassium and Mn that I always seem to be missing. Be careful, adding too much kelp will cause sodium toxicity too. I had to get creative and find a different K source and I started blending rinsed coco coir with my peat now. Find coco coir that has the sodium washed out, it will cost more. Anyways, 1/2c of Azomite a week is overkill. If it's too late, did you have K def issues?

I use it at a heaping half cup per cubic foot of base and a little topdressing at week one of flower
