Does anyone have any experience with these slow release fertiliser sticks?

Here is my problem!
So far I have only used rain water and various liquid fertilisers for my outdoor balcony grow, now I must leave the plants unattended for around 3-4 weeks which will probably be at the start or in the flowering phase. The only solution I can thinking is a watering system on a timer (unfortunately tap water) and using some of these fertiliser sticks of which I’ve found various NPK types that might work.

I’d like to know if anyone has tried this and what effects and results it had, it’s not ideal but I have no other ideas without a big investment to pump water up from the rain water container and then still no guarantee that I have enough water there to see me through.

Any thoughts?

here is one that works - "GrowDots" you mix them in when you make your soil and good till harvest - just add water and maybe any other additive's (Perpinator. Terpnator -Boosters, ect) also if anyone cultivates outdoors the "dots" work very well FYI

They sound great! Not sure if I can add it at a late stage but will look into it, thanks for the info!

For an easy solution use grow dots they are not organic though just FYI.

As far as I can see there is not an importer of grow dots to Europe, shame as it looked a good solution and well tested!

Can you top dress with terp tea bloom or something dry organic? Doesnt that have a slower uptake? Then drip?

Yes I did a whole grow start to finish with Jobes plant spikes on a romberry plant a few years ago, I recall it went well but I had to correct with Cal/mag a few times. When I get a minute I'll find it and link to it

Romberry by Freedom of Seeds

This is a grow I've been threatening to do for several years now lol ;) It should be fun, hope you enjoy the shenanigans!? This is Romberry, perhaps the easiest cloning plant I've ever had, she wants to grow big and bushy but she can be trained. She's a...
