Let that lady keep on budding that is the only thing she can do. Got any pics?Lou said:my first outdoor plant is starting to bud. I'm new, can someone give me basic direction from here?
..."every" DAY..??...MG and other chem ferts will most certainly burn plants...and burn them to a crisp. This forum alone has several incidents of it.Fertilizer water will not burn someone's plant to hell if they prepare it full strength.
"THE" one most often made mistake of new growers is overwatering...but for the other 99% of beginner growers - full strength nutes and frequent waterings are a very good idea.

Hick said:and "lime"...you say lime is the cause of yellowing ?..or cause the ferts to "react adversely"" ? and cause burning?..Care to explain that one?..
lime is used as a buffer for ph, and provides magnesium and calcium...
....1000's of posts that have nothing to do with fertilization. "Over fertilization" isn't common?..it doesn't happen if mixed according to instructions?...Quote:

Yes. every day. And "several" incidents out of the many 1000's of posts which are at this site is a small percentage indeed.
lime is neutral..7.0 ph....it is not alkalin..it is not acidic..I have added cautions about the use of lime because of it's alkalinity
..if one uses a great deal of organic material in the original soil construction, then what is there to buffer?
..you're correct. You didn't say "yellowing"..you implied the lime could be responsible for "burning"....Possibly by keeping the ph at a point that is acceptable to "full strength" nutrient uptake?....would that be the "adverse" effect?some of that lime i see recommended sometimes and so the full strength nutes may react adversely).
...I am like you, I have MANY posts under my belt. I do not know where you posted but I like to specialize in helping beginners and this is due to the overwhelming legions of unanswered questions I have seen
