The preemie is still looking pretty yellow, but sheās hanging in. My guess is since she got stuck in the shell she didnāt utilize the stored nutrients very well. I think sheāll recover. The next watering I will be giving them their first inoculate dose of Mammoth P. I donāt even have a measuring utensil for how small the dosage is. 1/8 a tsp for 1 gallon. I have some eye droppers, guess I will just put a drop or 2 in as those babies wonāt even drink a gallon between the 3. I can always throw the leftover in some of the flowers, couldnāt possibly hurt them. Got the new formula sample bag of Megacrop today. Itās an even bigger sample this time too. Like a lb 10 oz for just shipping cost. Like 6 bucks! Score!

Is this a new or different MegaCrop formulation? Or is that the date of manufacture? 
That Potassium value seems too high, but then again so do I.

The preemie is looking pretty ugly on her coloration and she has a hole in the leaf. This one ought to be interesting! Most people would probably just pull it out and move on, but this is all an experiment grow for me so letās wait it out and see what happens. May win an ugly plant award. Lol
Look who came out to say hello. My first worm sighting since I put them out. Just inching up the greenhouse door. Lotās of cardboard in there itās probably trying to get to.

Sometimes āugly ducklingsā turn into magnificent birds.
I have had more than a few stunted runts turn into superior plants.
Best of luck!

According to my readingā¦ this applies to all ācontainerā plants. This is the theory I am growing byā¦ All seeds contain just enough nutrients to nourish the plant until the first set of true leaves appears. If you use a soilless mix to sprout or grow then plants must be fed at start of first true leaves manually and continuously weekly thereafter. If you use a potting soil either if transplanting at seedling or from germ then you will already have enough nutrients for approx 3 to 4 weeks before you need to feed them.
Any thoughts on this growers?

Agree 100%, I feed from the first set onwards, pretty much full strength. Iām in coco, so about EC1.2 from then onwards, upping to 1.6 peak growth and flower.

Sounds about rightā¦If I donāt want to mess with mixing a soil from scratch, iāll use a lightly amended soil like Mother Earth Groundswell then just topdress with my rock powders and meals so when it fizzles out, the topdressings take over

I use ProMix which is basically inert, for all my veggies, herbs and flowers.
I start to feed the seedlings with first watering, and every watering thereafter.
Of course I start with very dilute fertilizer, and gradually increase the amount
of fertilizer, as the plants require.

Ya sort of depends whatās in the mix to begin with plain peat/ coir then yes you will need to add nutrient/ ferts and such along the way or your going to have issues thatās why companies such as Miricle grow puts time release granules in their mix to make it go further cause certain minerals hold very well in the media and others donāt they go right out the bottom when watering it all has to to with positive and negative charges thatās why I believe something so easy as EWC has so much benefit in soilless media and from what ICR can last like 4-6x longer over conventional nutrients!
