My plants are doing pretty good and about 10" tall on 24 hr light. I burned them once with only 1/4 strength Shultz - so I wont use that again - I had to flush & lost some bottom leaves. It's been a couple weeks since and I bought some of the Bio Nova Supersoil and superbloom for nutrients. it should be more friendly for my plants. I watered them yesterday with only 1/4 strength. Has anybody used this product and can I get it up to full strength? The label says 4 t/gal twice a week....but - I figure if I do it every other water ? Will it burn em? My soil is mostly Promix, with some humus/manure and extra perlite. --- Thanks for help.

i am currently using promix and my plants were about as tall as yours when i asked this question 3 weeks ago so i think i can help, but i am not using your brand of nutes i am using the maxi series dry nutes from general hydroponics. I usualy feed my plants everytime i water at a 1/4 strength and just work my way up each watering. keep a close eye on your plant it will tell you when its had enough and if you feed every watering you should flush your soil with 3 times as much water as soil once every 4-6 weeks to remove salt buildup and excess nutes. and right after the flush feed qith 1/4 strength nutes and wait a while befor you water again because your soil will clearly be saturated. Also if you type in your nutes name on google with the words feeding or grow chart you will probley find very specific instructions from your nutrient provider.

first 2 are 3 weeks ago last 2 were yesterday
