npk fertilizer

I've been reading up on this a little bit and it seems that this method may save a little bit of money compared to liquid feeding. Would it be easier to burn the plant using this fertilizer method? I would just mix one tablespoon per gallon of water then saturate the soil using a sprayer hose?

What kind of soil do you guys use? my greenhouse doesn't have the dirt I've been getting, and I am forced to switch. what to do what to do

Using dry blends will definitely save you money. It isn't necessarily easier to reach a nutrient toxicity, you just add less of it. Basically, just follow the directions on the package and you'll be fine no matter what you use.

With dry ferts you can top dress they work great that way. You can combine them with some worm castings, humic/fulvic acid, alfalfa and kelp meal, you can add powdered molasses or raw whole cane sugar, humus and rock dust too. Plants love it and all you have to do is water.

That's what i use to do. It's way better to mix up some super soil watch subcools vid on YouTube. That way your girls always have what they need throughout your grow available when they need it.

"Chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers show their nutrient content with three bold numbers on the package. These numbers represent three different compounds: Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potash (Potassium), which we can also describe with the letters N-P-K. The three numbers listed on fertilizer labels correspond to the percentage of these materials found in the fertilizer. What does each nutrient do? In addition to other properties, Nitrogen helps plant foliage to grow strong. Phosphorous helps roots and flowers grow and develop. Potassium (Potash) is important for overall plant health. Be aware that high nitrogen fertilizers will make for quick growth but weaker plants that are more susceptible to attacks by diseases and pests. Fast, showy growth is not necessarily the best thing for your plants." http://www.cleanairgardening.com/npkexplanation/

Well, thanks for the lesson...but I know all that...if you click the link, it is all dry fertilizers that you mix in water or use as top dress... again, I was trying to help you out and have no idea why I got a lesson in what N-P-K is and how it works.

I mix in some worm castings, humus, rock dust, fulvic humic acid, kelp extract, alfalfa powder and some eye of newt toe of frog........
