I'm using organic humus with manure and fox farms soil in acouple . Im giving the big ones 48 oz of straight water and getting some run off. And then when I feed with Nutrient I use about 32 oz and smaller plants get about 32 oz each time

How much humus and manure compared to Fox farm?

I have fox farms in acouple pots and Humus and manure in others mixed with alittle peat moss. I didnt realize how much water the humus holds . I'm going out today and getting peat moss and perlite and composte . I'm going to switch out the soil and transfer some of the plants into bigger pots.
