Hey guys, im in south eastern Ky and it has been raining so much this
year it is unbelieveable. The ground has been saturated the entire summer,
no dry spell whatsoever. We have been getting rain about once to twice a
week, sometimes more. My question is, I dont have a water source near any
of my plots, so I can't mix my nutes with water. I could but unfortunately I dont
have that kind of time. I work alot and I have a few plots, anywhere from
10-30 plants per plot. I invested in some jacks classic bloom and for late
flowering I got some Hawaiin bud and bloom 5-50-17. All throughout veg
I just top dressed the girls with miracle grow water soluble fertilizer before
a forecasted rain and let the rain water it in. Once they started flowering I
began doing the same with the jacks classic bloom.
The soil is ammened with promix, oscomote 14-14-14 controlled release
nutes, mushroom compost, vegetable compost, water polymer crystals,
dolomite lime, worm castings and a few handfulls of epsoma vegetable
fertilizer. My question is, instead of top dressing the soil before rain with the
water souble nutes, couldn't i just mix the recommened dosage in a 20 oz
bottle of water and then pour around the base of plants since the soil is so
saturated? It doesnt seem to be much different than sprinkling it around the
base before rain. There isnt much more rain in the forecast as I can see for
the next week. It seems like what I suggested with the water bottles would
get to the roots better than just sprinkling the nutes. Its much easier carrying
a bag full of 30 or 40 bottles to the girls than 30 or 40 gallon jugs twice a
week lol.
Alot of commercial growers and old timers that grow too many to carry
water to use the water soluble sprinkle method before a rain. Thats what
gave me this idea. But they all use the water soluble 20-20-20 from the local
farm stores. Me, I want better buds, higher potency thats why I spend a bit
more cash on better nutes. Thanks.
