Organically grown plants rely on beneficial microorganisms living in the soil to break down nutrients and thus feed the root systems (symbiotic relationship). Feeding this to organic plants may jeopardize your micro-herd and force you to rely on chemical fertilizers until you flush the salts from your soil and restore the soil back to its living, healthy state (using compost, compost tea, EWC, mycorrhizal fungi, etc). I'd highly suggest doing some reading on true organic growing; you'll never look back, if you do it right.

I use the fox farms soil so I don't use the fertilizer until the 4th week. Some people do use them rite away but I have been very successful doing it my way. I get much larger production then anyone says you should get. I do supplement the fox farms with shooting powder in last 4 weeks of flower

When you plant you write down the day. If its or first grow. Those work but suck. Nitro lock gaurunteed in soil. Roots organic is what I used and general hydroponics. They all have a schedule to use as a GUIDE.! Happy trails

Use after plants have settled in pot for a week. Then use regularly.... diluted as per instructions. I believe this product is totally organic also. Hope this helps.

Yes just be sure to buy the trio for soil not hydroponic and also yes there is a feeding schedule with this set that gives a full feeding schedule follow it for successfull grows these fox farms are also organic and very hard to burn or over feed I love them great success for me and the soil trio package is a lil cheaper as well also these ferts will lower soil ph so pick up a bottle of ph up and some ph strips to adjust

This will help feed your plants after your soil nutrients are used up (super soil and nutrient enriched soil does not last as long as your fruit and flowers take to fulfill, you will lack nutes in the end if you only use supersoil). Also... Fox Farm is NOT ORGANIC, and also not on the OMRI list. It has organic BASES, but there is also non-organic stuff inside (excluding the bloom which is all organic, but the TigerBloom and Grow are NOT organic 100%) Fox Farm sites says nothing about it being organic 100% either, so whomever tells you its all organic is a newb to growing organics.

Using even in a minimal amount is better than nothing. I have mixed some in water and used it that way, and I have broadcast it over soil. I also mixed it into the soil when prepping a new bed or pot. This man has several videos on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k41WK5z6mo

It depends on a lot of things. The nutrient mix of your soil, raised beds,container etc. Stage of your plants. I do raised beds square foot gardening. I use this every 3-4 weeks after plants are about six weeks old and then every other week once the start fruiting. This is a soil supplement so it does not replace good balanced soil.

You should be able to mix it and use it on houseplants. Again, this stuff does NOT smell good at all so if you are using this indoots be warned.

No need to get super technical. Just pull a sample out with a cup and test it.. But honestly, you need to change ALL the water every two weeks anyway, so just set it at 5.8 AFTER you mix your nutrients in it, put the lid/plant back on the reservoir and leave it alone for the next two weeks.. The water that is.. Rain mist the plants with a water bottle daily (I put a light nutrient mix in mine) and you're golden.. Trust me

That's what we were going to do but ours died in the infancy stage :-(. I would recommend that you go to a nursery and ask which potting soil would be best as they have many varieties.

Allison, contact Joel immediately. Use only distilled water, not spring water, not tap water and water it in a saucer. Fill it up about 1/3 of the way. That being said, did you check your email? Joel sent a detailed email before our plant arrived. I contacted him a few times and he was extremely helpful and fast to respond. Here's his email address: JoelsCarnivorousPlants - Amazon Marketplace lk5mjrd052j6cyv@marketplace.amazon.com I cut and pasted his directions in the initial email below: I will be shipping your order to you Saturday. Look for it to arrive in your mail beginning this Monday. If you have cold weather forecast for the next few days please be careful to take your order indoors soon after it arrives and not to leave it in a mailbox outside overnight if you receive your mail in a receptacle that is outside so that your plant will not be damaged/killed by frost. If your plants are damaged by frost anyways in spite of my best efforts at timing the shipping for your order please let me know asap. If it is below freezing where you are at your order may come with a heat pack. The heat pack is a white bag with red line on it. This heat pack is not part of the potting soil. Please be careful to NOT mix it in with your moss that your plant arrives with. If you are purchasing this as a gift it will be important to pot it up right after it arrives rather than leaving it in the box it came in for a while. If you purchased more than one plant they may be wrapped together. If you have any problems with your plant(s) or its shipping please feel free to contact me. I'm here to help. If you like what you see when your order arrives you can see more Carnivorous Plants that I have for sale here.--&gt;

Hi Mabel, I don't have the original bag anymore ( what soil I didn't use at the time I put into a resealable bag) so I can't tell you all the ingredients but I can tell you it feels and smell more like compost than potting soil you get with the little while foam in it. At first I wasn't sure about it but the results have been great, several of my plants had fallen on hard times and a few of them were ready to bite the dust but after a day of mixing old and new soil, cleaning pots,re-potting and placing cuttings in just the straight mix ( not mixed in with the old soil ) I've been VERY HAPPY with the results. Some of my plants have tripled in size in the last 4-5 months and cuttings are as full as their parents and living in a Manhattan apartment that's saying a lot. I hope you find this info helpful. RR

Sorry, I don't know. I do know that when you use potting/grading soil it already has fertilizer mixed in. I have seen of some of the TV shows they put fertilizer down when lay sod. There is no need to use this which includes week killer. The weeds have to be present and damp so the killer will stick to the weed and penetrate the leaf. I really think it would not do any good till the grass has been established. You should just use fertilizer, but if you already have the Turf Builder, I would try it.

Hi Ja - I've planted several new roses, about 1 month ago and bought the Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 systemic. Early days still, but container states for Roses and Flowers..But contains strong fertilizer and Aphid protection for 8 weeks. Not use on veg or near Ponds and wash hands after use..pretty potent stuff, I.m assuming. Sorry I can't help more - but I was impressed by another product of Bayer and I'm thinking 'Give it a try' Maybe tell you more about performance. a few more months down the line. Regards and Good Luck ..Linda x

I recommend Miracle Grow potting soil. I fill the wick columns with Miracle Grow, then I place about 1" to 1 1/2" of Miracle Grow over the rest of the Grow Box. I add a 1 1/2" layer of Black Gold (worm dung) and then finish filling the Grow Box with Miracle Grow. DO NOT USE THE FERTILIZER that came with the grow box. In the two grow boxes I tried this in I lost more plants and replaced more plants. In the grow box where I did what I told you, I've not lost a single plant. My plants are going great. I would also mix in some Marigolds around your tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. to help keep the bugs away. Good Luck! I recommend Miracle Grow potting soil.

It is not meant to stay in the plant pot. It is for testing the soil only to see if it needs to be watered. If it has disintegrated, throw it away and get another. They are reasonable. But use it as a tester only!

I generally use it as an amendment to my soil and sprinkle a little(tsp or 2) into the hole for all transplants. This year I mixed it with green sand and everything seems very happy.I only use it in the Spring and for starters. Seems to be water soluble, would probably work good in a fertilizer tea.

it's pretty much use as needed.. generally speaking.. follow the directions on the bottle.. check your local nursery for what to do when your plants have the blight..

It is great for indoor plants and vegetables in the garden. For indoor plants mix it with your potting soil along with green sand, rock phosphate, bone meal, kelp meal, and other choice ingredients, wet it and wait about 30 days before planting. It takes time for the ingredients to begin to break down so that the nutrients are available for your plants. Some good recipes can be found online at a number of sites and blogs about organic gardening.

I'm going to have a pot in the garage filled with some potting soil/dirt combo and add it to that over the winter. Don't know if it will work, but worth a shot! I have been using the "tea" for the indoor plants. I guess it will be a lot of trial and error!
