Anyone have experience growing organic in 3 gallons?
How often do you top feed?
I’m using Down To Earth dry amendments. Veg Garden 4-4-4, Bio Live 5-4-2, Langbeinite 0-0-22, and Seabird Guano 0-11-0.
Have a Plan on my page with everything. My Grow Plan
First time grower and wanted to try and make my own recipe/plan. Let me know if I need to be top dressing heavier.
Should I get Bat Guano for N boost during veg?
I’m still pretty green myself, but one thing i’ve started to do with my top dressings this grow is mix in equal amounts of earthworm castings whenever I top dress with anything. Mix it up really good in a separate bowl/container than add it to your pot. I’ve read that the EWC’s help the microbes get working on the fertilizer quicker.
Yeah I’m doing ewc throughout the whole grow. Just trying to see if someone has experience on such small pots like I’m doing
With getting too long winded generally you use 1tbs of amendment mix per gallon of soil. So three gallons add 3tbs every 2-3 weeks. Change that to 4 weeks when the leaf tips crisp up.
With my recipe, I don’t top dress. Check it out on my thread. I also flower in 3 gallon pots with no issues.
I grow in three gallon fabric pots. I used to topdress every three weeks at the full application rate (tbsp per gallon) and it worked out well. In hind sight it was a lot of fine powder to mix into the soil all at once.
This time around I’ve been trying a weekly application after reading about this methodology from @vincentadultman and indirectly from @alola. Been using 1 tablespoon each week and everything is looking happy and healthy.
You have my attention, and I will check it out.
