1 Tbs. = approx. 14.79 mL.

Therefore...

3/4 Tbs. = approx. 11.1 mL.

1 Tsp. = approx. 4.93 mL.

Therefore...

3/4 Tsp. = approx. 3.69 mL

Remember what I said about paying attention to units of measurement?

Ok I'm new to indoors and I'm alittle nervous about burning my babies with the nutes regiment because this is my first and. Want it to be successful they are still seedlings so I know not to use them yet but when it's time do I use the fox farms nutes at this much with every watering or every other watering or what??? And I'm sorry it's a soil grow FFOF cuz I know that makes a difference

Depends on how many times a week you water.

Feedings are Once a week in the schedules.
I like to feed a damp soil. Not a bone dry container.

I had some sandy soil that had a ph of 7 but I wasn't sure of it cause it compacted too much after I watered it to check my ph. So I dug a hole in the ground 16X16 inches and droped a mix of vermiculite, perlite, bone meal, and MG organick choice garden soil. contrary to what my pic. says the mix was: 8 dry quarts of vermiculite, 8 dry cups of perlite, and 1/2 cup of bone meal, last was 4 shovel loads of the MG organic choice garden soil. Is that enough to give it nutes for the veg. I would love to hear from ya for some constructive critisism:)

ESPOMA NUTES :
Espoma is a brand of dry, granual organics used mostly in outdoor in-ground growing, but CAN be used at a lesser rate to enrich the soil of container plants.

It is marketed as Plant-tone, Veg-Tone, Holly-Tone, Rose-tone and Flower-tone.

You will want to get Veg-tone and Flower-tone... If flower-tone is not available, use Just the veg-tone.

For in-ground,prep your planting site, adding 1/4 cup of the Veg-tone to the hole you dig for the plants (at least 18 inches wide and 12 inches deep- the soil fluffed and back In the hole when you add the Espoma)
... or in containers, use 2 tablespoons in 5 galons of soil.
When the Plants Begin to bloom, use the Flower-tone as a top dressing according tot he bags directions, and gently rub into the soil around the plants so i doesn't wash away in the rain.

You MAY use the Fish-Fert Schedule along with the Espoma, but reduce the feedings to every other week.


I used a little less than half of the recomended dose of Holy-tone in my 2.5 gallon buckets for there first feeding a couple of days ago, I also used Bio-tone Starter Microbial plant Food when I tweaked my soil for transplanting. I guess my question is will the Holy tone that I used be a problem? Can I still do the Veg-tone? I would appreciate any info on this, Thank you.
