Directions for feeding say with every watering. How do you incorporate
Epsom salts
Neptunes harvest hydrolyzed fish and seaweed fertilizer (veg only)
Over time you will want to develop your own nutrient recipe because no grow environment is the same.
And feeding on a schedule is not ideal with soil plants. You will want to learn to watch them and feed when they need it.
Sometimes I feed after every other watering, sometimes after 2 waterings, sometimes after a feeding.
Feeding and nutrient requirements vary highly between person to person and between feeds.
So the best I can do is to say start with one of the nutrient charts on their site.
And then tweak it over time to your liking.
I mix the Epsom salts into the nutrient mixture.
Neptunes harvest I add 1tbsp per gallon the nutrient mixture during veg if she asks for it. This stuff is strong so add a little at a time, once it starts breaking down you may get a little tip curl. So dont use every feeding.
You can't deliver nutrients every feeding. You still need to water only inbetween feeds to reduce feed buildup. Organic nutes build up very slowly so its easy to think your not adding enough at times. But once in the soil, takes time to Break down..
Earth juice faq;
3. Why are my plant’s leaves yellowing after switching from a synthetic 3-2-1 nutrient to
Earth Juice Grow?
I was using the 3-2-1 at 5 tsp per gallon and now I’m using
Earth Juice Grow at 3 tsp per gallon. I also flushed with straight water just before starting with
Earth Juice Grow.
– The flushing with straight water will dilute and/or rinse the present nutrients from the soil which could be helpful but could also be stressing your plants. Now you will have to wait until the soil dries out, which may further stress your plants.
– 5 tsp of a 3% N synthetic is on the higher side of hand feeding plants with a plant food with each watering but if you plants are thriving at this dosage rate they must be very aggressive feeders. If this is the case, to obtain the same rate of Nitrogen using
Earth Juice Grow you will need to use 7.5 tsp (2.5 Tbsp).
Earth Juice Grow is a protein (amino acid) based grow plant food so you can easily increase the dosage rates without the fear of burning.
Here’s the general usage guidelines for
Earth Juice Grow Bloom to be used with each watering (feeding): Mild:1/2Tbsp – Medium:1Tbsp – Strong: 2Tbsp – Extra Strong 3Tbsp.
For fast growing plants a common rate is 2 Tbsp per gallon.
For example I like using the advanced plus chart but I started cutting out nitrogen after first week or so of flower and changed catalyst to molasses.
There is also a reputable
earth juice feeding chart I skimmed off a specific thread. I've yet to try it for a full round but I'll present that option to you.
I'm sorry I'm not more specific.
I am also still dialing in my ideal recipe.
It will take many runs to find the perfect recipe. But every run I get a lil closer.
There are some days I don't even measure my nutes. Just mix em by eye with what i think I see that they need :cry:
