I'm glad I read this topic. My pepper plants are about 1 month and a half and my plans was to use organic fertilizes (granular) on my medium which is Pro-Mix BX. Those plans are now down the drain. It makes perfect sense now that granular fertilizers wont brake down in pro-mix...maybe it would but it would need a lot of time.. The plants would put all their energy trying to feed off the medium... So here's my new plan of attack.. I did a lot of research and going to use General Hydroponics Go box starter kit..for about $ 35 local hydro shop. It's an organic fertilizer and can be used in different grow mediums like soil,soilless mix, hydro etc ....
what do you guys think ?
I agree.. I've always been amazed how they grow in the wild with no fertilizers or nutrients..
