What the f im about to use

Hello,
I bought fertilizer that I will be using in outdoors, its called "Orchid Focus" it says, it's 1.8:1.2:2.1 . shuould i use it? my plants are 1 week old

I'm no expert but I would put any sort of nutrients for the first 30 days

wouldn't***

Not a great choice.. But some people don't use any. The numbers you listed are the percent of N P & K in the fertilizer. So the amounts in your Orchid mix is very low. But it would be hard to kill them with that stuff !! There are all kinds of fertilizers that people use on their plants so whatever works for you. I personally use Jacks 20 - 20 - 20 from start to finish... Good Luck with your grow..

thanks, well, than iwill just pick something else.

i dont use fertilizer at all. just realy good soil. putting any fertilizer on young plants 8 weeks or younger is not a good idea! have fun growing!

The numbers are for NPK ratios that part you get right?
like above said: 20-20-20 is the N-P-K numbers...
When it is point .2-.5-.75 those would be "Trace elements" of NPK...
If your soil is just a bag type, and you have not amended it, then you can start to feed after a couple of weeks....maybe 3-4 start...
When ever you start a feed, start by mixing 1/4 strength [if it calls for a tablespoon use 1/4 table spoon]
Use 1/4 mix of nutes for one week, watch your plants, if they react good, up the dosage the second week to 1/3rd or 1/2 strength...
Work your way up to full strength taking 3-5 weeks...
if at any time, you get a adverse reaction on your plants, go back one week, and see what you did...
Keep track of your mix, only mix up what you will use that day, try not to store mixed up nutes, sometimes they go bad...
This is the first time your plants will up take nutes, and you want to monitor there progress...
Good Luck man... Take it slow...

Yea I wouldn't give them any for a couple weeks. I just started doing compost teas but if your just starting off Keep it easy.
