Directions say 1/2 tspn for seedlings per gallon.. And 2-3 tspn for general feelings

Tried using tap water but Ph was way up there.. Then I got a bottle of Crystal Geyser water from the store and it was right on even before I added the Nuts..how's that happen?

I go half strength of what the bottle says the first time to see how they react. You might not need to feed just yet....sometimes less is more

Corso312 · May 7, 2016

That is fox farm O.F. soil? Or happy frog? ... They don't need food just yet.. Doing good with the food in that soil. I'd give em half strength when ya feed em..but I bet they can go another week without anything.

You drink your tap water? If ya do it will work fine..even if its hard water like mine..you can mix it 50-50 with rain water..I wouldn't worry about the pH ..That soil has lime in it to buffer it and make the food available to the roots.

I'm on my phone and can't see the pic good, is there any yellowing on the true leaves?

Not the the little shell buster leaves, the bladed ones.

Or any spots of brown on the leaves?

From what I can see they look green and healthy, if so i wouldn't feed yet, they don't need much now...

over feed your baby's and you get unhealthy children, then it can be tough to straighten them out in adulthood. You dig?

Ok, will do.. But does this look bout right? And how long can I keep the Nuts in a bottle before it goes bad?

do you mean cotyledon?

Corso312 · May 7, 2016

Dump it on your tree or flowers or bushes..I dunno how long it stays good. What is in that vial?

Don't know what that is?

It's just the bottled water mixed with the fox farm nuts and it tested this color with Ph test kit. Which would put it right at 6.5 ph

Corso312 · May 7, 2016

Are you asking how long that bottle of Grow big will stay good in its bottle? Long time if ya keep it in a cool dark place and bottled up.

I couldn't tell you by just looking at the mix...I would buy a cheap TDS or EC meter and take care of it. I don't use fox farm so idk, diff nutes have different times they go bad. Google it.

I'm only on my second indoor grow, I'm still a rookie, but these are things I have learned from the good cultivators here
