Curious if and how much calcium I should add to my container plants? I used super cheap potting soil that has a lot of mulch, it seems to drain pretty well. Growing in 2 5 gallon buckets, Jalapeno in one container, 2 baby bells in the other (and my 2 watermelon plants in a 45 gallon tote.
When I transplated them, it seemed like all of my plants grew extremely slow. Then I got some water soluable 10-15-10 all purpose fertilizer mix, within a couple days of watering everything with that, it seemed to explode!
I have had a tendency to slightly over fertilize, with no side effects as of yet. My peppers grew into bushes extremely fast, and my Melon vines took off like crazy. I also flush my containers out every 10-14 days to avoid build up of nutes (actually flushing them today since its hot, then was gonna add 1/2 strength nutes after that water drains through a few times.
I was considering cruching up a few tumbs and adding to my fertiizer water. I wasn't sure how much would be sufficient, thdey are 750mg tabs with no other active ingredients
