    $30 bucks seems pretty steep. You can probably get better growing results with some bone meal and 20/20/20. Cheers!

    20/20/20....hell most green's keepers at golf courses don't go that hot. But you mary growers hey listen to each other. I bet you all buy B9 or stress formulas at the local nurseries too! Guess what plants have never demonstrated a need for B vitamins. But the formulas sold by nurseries are laced with high nitrogen, so right after you feed you see a flush of growth.

    what would you recommend, oh wise sensei, also instead of being so smug, why dont you help others who are not as experienced as you in gardening? why must you always try to put others down and try to insult people instead of giving people the correct advice

    I would recommend you take a few horticulture classes.

    You aren't into gardening, you are into raising an illegal substance.

    believe it or not, i actually enjoy watching my plants grow, why would i spend over 100bucks to grow a few plants... i could just go out to the corner and buy a fix, why would i want to spend months growing something? why would i take the time to reserach things about it?and i also grow many other plants that are not illegal...

    You aren't a Mary grower, your after poppies and opium. I suggest you research their cultivation. If you want to buy expensive additives and it makes you feel good to do so, feel free.

    As with most of these things, they're not actually all that much use, you'd be better off fertilising the soil or something.

    N = Nitrogen 7-9-5
    Nitrogen is the first major element responsible for the vegetative growth of plants above ground. With a good supply, plants grow sturdily and mature rapidly, with rich, dark green foliage.


    P = Phosphorus 7-9-5
    The second major element in plant nutrition, phosphorus is essential for healthy growth, strong roots, fruit and flower development, and greater resistance to disease.


    K = Potassium (Potash) 7-9-5 The third major plant nutrient, potassium oxide is essential for the development of strong plants. It helps plants to resist diseases, protects them from the cold and protects during dry weather by preventing excessive water loss.

    means i need to have these three elements for healthy growth/blooming? why do you always have to be so condescending, its obvious you know much more about gardening then i do, so why can't you share your knowledge instead of sitting on a pedestal looking down on everyone who knows less than you

    well i read the back of the "better than bloodmeal" package and from that i assumed i should put it about 3teaspoons of fertilizer per 5L of soil and then mix it around, then i poured some water the soil then transplanted the sprouts, i guess ill mix some of the liquid fertilizer with some water once a month or so

    Instead of just copying and pasting material try reading it. Which letter means more to flowers and stems?
