Hello fellow growers. This is my first grow and first thread post
Soil: 50% - Miracle Grow Premium Potting Soil, 20%- Sphagnum Peat Moss, 30% - Perlite
Container: 1gal
Light: 18/6(veg), 8 - 23watt(1600 lumen, 5K) CFL
Humidity: 55%(average)
Temp: 76f average (68 low, 81 high)
Strain: Random Seed Bag(2 sativa, 3 indica - or so it seems as of now)
It was slow going due to first time grower mistakes I made. I've finally got my grow area to acceptable(optimal?) conditions and have started fertilizing my seedlings. I'm using Blood Meal(12-0-0, veg), Bone Meal(6-9-0, flower) and Kelp Meal(1-0-2, throughout?) I started @ 1/3 strength fert of Kelp Meal and Blood Meal as of now and have only admistered the fert once.
So my question is this, how often should I add the Kelp & Blood Meal? I'm uncertain of how long these 'slow' release fertilizers will take to disintergrate and no longer benefit my plants. Is this a once and done type of fertilizing that can wait until next repot? Also, does anyone know if it is possible to fertilize with Blood/Bone Meal through watering like other nutrient solutions? I know they will dissolve in water but I am uncertain if plants will still receive the same benefits when administering as a liquid nutrient.
I've already been astonished at the speed that my plants use nutrients and grow on several occasions. Thanks in advance for any help and may you all have healthy greens & bountiful yields!
