Hey guys i have been growing hydroponics for a little while and decided to check out this organic grow.

right now i have seedings that are in the Pro Mix BX but scene i am new to the dirt watering i was wondering if someone could help me out with how i should be feeding my plants.

i use the General hydroponics 3 part line


any help from a more experienced grower would be so helpful!! Thanks!!

yes you would be wrong.

but anyways my question is how would i feed my seedling plants while using Pro Mix BX and the general hydroponics 3 part

Don't give them any food for the first 2 weeks than start with 20% of what the lable says. as the plants get older you can increase the amount of food you give them.

If you feed and it looks like your plants are sick than flush with 10% ffod and 90% water.

peace

PRO-MIX 'BX'

Technical Data Sheet

PRO-MIX 'BX' is a "General Purpose" peat-based growing medium . During the course of crop
production, it is necessary to initiate a fertilizer program. The fertilizer program selected should consider
water nutrient content, crop type and stage of plant development. It is essential to begin fertilization within
7 days after planting and maintain fertilizer applications throughout the course of crop production. To
insure plants receive proper nutrition, it is advisable to periodically analyze fertilizer solution, nutrient
content of growing media and plant tissue throughout the production cycle.
PRO-MIX 'BX' is peat-based making it lightweight, easy to handle and highly desirable for transplanting.
It's porous texture allows for quick rooting and optimum water/air ratio. The incorporation of wetting agent

OMRI approved isn't all that. Lots of money involved there. If not quite a scam, then very misleading AFA *organics*.

Learn to read labels/ingredient list and decide for yourself, not what OMRI says.

ProMix BX is considered *organic*, even without the ORMI.
