I'm starting over.
Today I'm going to the Hydro store and buy new soil, Ocean Forest,
and to Walmart for Kellog Patio Plus as a base.
5 bags Ocean Forest x 3 bags Kellog. I plan on mixing this stuff and re-potting everything.
Most of the folks here who I have studied their techniques use Ocean Forest soil and Rosebud uses the Kellog as a base which sounds good, getting the cost down. Ocean Forest/Happy Frog has a granulated fertilizer like Espoma but I am wary of granulated as it is hard to apply accurately.
Say I mix 5 bags of Ocean Forest and 3 bags of Kellog patio plus and transplant grown plants. Now I am at a loss again as I have gardened outside for more than 50 years but I have no idea what I'm doing inside.
If an organic granulated fertilizer is not good what do y'all use to fertilize?
It may be true that on new bagged soil plants won't need any fertilizer through out veg. I want to use minimal fertilizer anyway, go organic as it were. But what do y'all do for nutes in such a set up?
My old Maxi-grow is outdated and synthetic, so is Dyna Grow.
Canna is too much trouble and expensive and what do Limey's know about gardening anyway?
Organic?
Rosebud... help! What do you fertilize with, if at all?
If a good soil is sufficient through veg are organic granulated nutes like 'Espoma/Happy Frog' alright through flowering?
How often to apply?
There's dozens of fertilizers in bottles but this plant {outside anyway} is capable of growing in poor soil with 'nothing' for fertilizer...and just a little rain.
What is the truth?
With such a soil what nutrients should be used, if any?
Thank you...
