Case & point there ^^^
I feed 1/4 cup per 5gal.
I’ll feed the veg formula til I flip.. the 1st top dress after the flip will be mixed 50/50 with flower girl for the next 2 applications. Then I switch to just flower girl at 1/4 cup per 5gal. Everything has come out awesome come harvest time.
Outside I just wait til I see flowers, and then I start mixing in flower girl.

Espoma is also decent, very similar ingredients to Dr Earth and it's what my local hardware store sells.

One nice thing about the dry organic fertilizers is you can actually follow the directions on the package and get good results. With most synthetic/liquid fertilizers the rule of thumb seems to be "start out at 1/4 or 1/2 the recommended amount and adjust as necessary," what's up with that?

One more for DR earth!!

n the beginning I respected Advanced nutrients because they would give different dosage info for different stages of the plants. I went with it, and had great results. Since then however I’ve learned to respect my wallet a lot more. Lol

75 bucks on Amazon, 1-2 bags for large garden and your set! both granular so no need for ppe and also super easy to disperse

I used to use Gaia Green...but it got expensive and hard to get where I live unless you buy from SCAMAZON...which I do not...so I switched to Dr. Earth...444 and 394...I use a few other things mixed into my soil... like green sand, gypsum, DE, oyster shell, Dr Earth 444 and earthworm castings...then I mix the soil for my buckets....and topdress with my dry ammendments mixed with earthworm castings after about 20 days veg/start of flower...a little 394 with more 444...I then hit them every 20 days with a topdress with day 60 being the last until finish...and they finish strong!
Most plants going 80 days.

Got Microlife 6 - 2 - 4

Got 120 pounds going to put a bunch on my Lawn and Garden.

And use it on everything else.
