![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | so i'm assuming you want to grow organically? well, you have alot of reading to do... but let me try to help you out. to use the bloodmeal and the bonemeal, you want to mix them in with your soil when you pot ur plant. So once ur plant outgrows that .75 gal pot, you can mix those meals in with the soil that u transplant into. half a tablespoon per gallon of soil. A better way to go is to use a liquid fertilizer. there are many brands out there to choose from.. i suggest you hit up ur local hydroponic store and see whats available. for the beginner, i'd recommend using some fish emulsions and kelp extract. also see if you can find some worm castings. those work great. just read the instructions on the bottles and you cant go wrong. you want to start feeding at about the point ur at right now, 2 weeks. start by using a very weak solution, around half strenght of whatever is recommended on the bottle. good luck | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | seems you didn't read Clone's first post.... you need to get yourself some kind of water soluble fertilizer in a balanced ratio of NPK... The ferts you have need to be mixed into the soil, you can't really just add them to the current potted plants. A very inexpensive organic way to go is with fish emulsion with kelp. It's easy to come by where I am but might be a little harder to find this time of year. Home stores that have plants should have fish emulsion on their shelves. Call around a few places... it's a common fertilizer. Peace- OD
