AJ has had tremendous luck with the botanicare line. He uses it from the time he sows the seeds, but I will let him comment on that.

dosed how? what the package says? Where can that be bought.... I'll check the website for that info. Thanks
Now on their website I notice that they say it is NOT ( superthrive ) food...
What would be a fertlizer to use? Or dont worry about that until I transplant them into the 5 gallon buckets.
I plan on using in the buckets .... Humus and something else. I have to see what I can get my hands on;

I would dilute a vegetative growth fertilizer at first, and slowly strengthen it.
NO BLOOM FERTILIZER.

Ya, it's just vitamins and natural plant growth hormones....but still, plants seem to respond to it quite well.MrOneEyedBoh said:

but the superthrive wont burn the plants right? and that might/would be the best to use during the seedling stage?

Last year, and even this year when plants didn't look great, I ground up some multivitamins (I think they were the A to Zinc brand), added a couple capsules of fish oil and diluted it in water. Perked the plants up nicely.
(Don't give them too much E though - it is supposed to make them horney!)

Nah, won't burn them. Just use a tablespoon in a gallon of water every two weeks. Can do this their whole life and they won't mind.MrOneEyedBoh said:
I use organic Neptune's Harvest Seaweed and Fish Fertilizer exclusively until they go outside. Good stuff.

It's ok everyone onec in a while, especially for trees. But not everynight.Omri said:
Bah. It was just a guestamate. I just splash a bunch into a gallon jug and fill it up with water. Works great.AlabamaJack said:
Mr One Eyed,
Maybe you are afflicted with that disease that is transmitted from reading posts in this forum - it's called "My plants don't look great" disease.
I keep telling myself (while mixing up another concoction of special nuits, checking the moisture level of the soil, moving plants around) that plants, if they get some light, heat and moisture will grow fine. Alas, I'm not having any luck.

haha yeah I see soo many people that are like hmm my plants have been sprouted for 3 weeks and they are huge. if you see my log you'll see the status of my plants.. not too crazy.
True dat, River and WW.
If you add no fertilizer, they will likely grow into decent plants. Add just a little too much fertilizer and they will be deader than dog shit.
