Hey guys, just got some botanicare pure pro bloom for soil in the mail today. Wanted it for my auto that is currently flowering. I’m a bit confused by the directions, it says to use it on every watering, 5ml per gallon of water which is about a teaspoon. I water her every day, so am I really supposed to be feeding it to her every day? Or does anyone else have experience with the product and have a better schedule?

I use this product every watering (which is roughly 4-5 days) at 15-20 ml per gallon.
Everyday sounds like a lot to me but I use very large pots so that’s what I’m used to.
All the best

Thanks for your insight!

So, just to pick you brain, since I water every day, you think that around 50ml twice a week would be sufficient, with straight water on days in between?

It is generally better to fertilize a little all the time, than large doses infrequently.

Oh ok, so 5ml per gallon of water every day seems like a good plan?

Are your pots very small? Are your plants small but in big pots? These are important things to know.
I would consider using a very low dose at every water but a little trial and error is in order.
Even for me. I just ran a White Widow at ~15ml per gallon every time and I think she would have been prettier had I given her 20. But no big deal.
The directions on the back are a good place to start. You can tweak from there.

Ok those are pretty big.
Is there a reason you water everyday? Lots of people do but they are usually in smaller pots.
I find watering everyday a bit tedious so a bigger pot is just a big reservoir that saves me time.
It’s just easier for me.
You can give them an occasional soak or a constant trickle. Whatever suits your growing style.

They look hungry, I’m sure you can ratchet up the bloom food. I use 2tsp/gallon Dyna Gro and it’s 2x as strong as PBB.

Vernal you do that per day?
I’ve just been watering every day because it’s been super hot and they have been drying out
You are probably right to be watering them everyday in this weather. I hadn’t considered that.
I’ve barely left the house for months! It’s hot out there.

It’s in the feed water that I always water with. Sometimes every day, sometimes every other day. But I never give plain water.

Ya start with what they say on the bottle and it will be obvious in a while whether it’s too much or not enough. Pureblend pro is a great nute and easy to use… pretty forgiving.
Great looking plants and nice product placement with the Canadian Tire bucket there haha, are you sponsored??

The recommendations on the bottle have suggested feed doses for different stages of growth. I tend to follow them within reason.
It’s in promix indoors

Just remember that autos don’t need as much fertilizer as photoperiods. Stay on the low side for the nutes, particularly if you are using it everyday.
