I've never used botanicare so I'm not familiar with that product. Are these the ones you are talking about? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Damn, guys, those are some healthy plants. I'm staying to realize that as long as the basic macro needs are met, no steep input of phosphorus is going to magically cause blossoming/blossom production. It even sounds like if too much P accumulates in mineral soils it can become phytoxic and cause...

Theoretically speaking, could I run a complete fertilizer (I'm looking at Dynagro Foliage Pro 9-3-6, which simplifies to 3-1-2) throughout the entire growing season and not need another base nutrient? I'm using 150ppm/7.5pH tap water so I will also be supplementing with calmax at about 10% of...

Interesting...I appreciate the advice. Funny that you say that because I have grown habs in a nutrient flow hydro setup and they shared the same nutrients as lettuce and Swiss chard. Basically the overall ratio was more or less balanced with a little more nitrogen to green everything up. Thing...

Too much nitrogen doesn't cause blossom drop? So a x(3-1-2) would be suitable throughout the entire growing season? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I've heard lots of good things with the fish ferts, besides the smell. Are you switching that out with something containing less nitrogen when your plants start blooming? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Alright thanks! I never use the manufacturer's dosing recommendations as they are almost always too strong. I'll just start light and scale up nutrient strength as needed Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Just out of curiosity what do you use for your liquid feed? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Thanks. I have a bunch of hydro fertilizers kicking around and like to use those ones up first. Generally speaking, would it make sense to scale back nutrient strength when feeding plants in soil? To what degree I'll have to test that myself. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Oh right, I think I've seen those before. 4-3-3? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Oddly enough, I first started growing peppers in hydroponics and soilless (ie. peat-based) mixes and I'm just beginning to grow my chilies directly in the soil. When fertilizing in the soil, is it only necessary to provide additional NPK as opposed to supplying all nutrients (molybdenum, zinc...

Sure sounds like it. Are you Aussie? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I always figured compost would make my mix too "muddy" texturally but i understand the other benefits. I'm aiming to have a mostly inert mix fertilizer-wise (I know loam carries some). Where I live we usually get a very soggy/cold June and that's where i find my mixes to sponge all kinds of...

I hate to necro this thread but I'm relatively new to customizing soil mixes. In the past i would have settled for only promix general purpose for example and would encounter drainage issues throughout the summer. I'm looking to create something that is light, yet has some capacity to hold onto...

While I have you here and if you don't mind. What would be a tell-tale sign of tmv/what prompted you to disregard tmv as a potential pathogen? Thanks!! Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I really appreciate the help. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of what's going on with my plants. Fun hobby but it's frustrating growing here in Canada with such short summers - not much room for error. Cheers [emoji892]️ Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Thanks for your reply. Let me give some more context. The first picture was 100% overwatered and the roots were consistently saturated. You nailed it on that one. That was a potting mix issue. That plant is where I first noticed the brown streaking, which I considered to be some kind of fungus...

Hi all, I've come to the conclusion that my pepper plants have been infected with tobacco mosaic virus (or some mosaic virus of sorts). It looks to have spread to nearby cucumber plants as well. Would anyone be able to confirm that I do have tmv and/or would be willing to offer some advice...

 I honestly had no idea. Does trying to get a 5-1-5 ratio overall sound right? I appreciate all of the help but I am looking to buy something fairly shortly. I'll try to hit that with these products (or similar ones with similar NPKs) - Dress with earthworm castings every 7-10 days - Supplement...
