can i use big bloom on seedlings 3 days old.

If your seedlings longer than 3-4 inch and, they have at least 3-4 leafs yes you can use it. Otherwise all seedlings are very sensitive before 3-4 inch long. Make sure your nutrients EC level is at most 1,5 before use it for young seedlings.

As I understand it, thats not good practice, especially on seedlings of any kind. You can burn the roots and damage your plant if you start fertilizing too early. I believe 2 weeks or so is sufficient to start low doses of fertilizer slowly building. (thats my anecdotal evidence). You wouldn't want to use big bloom until further in (as it reads on the bottle). If you have any questions like this, you can also call your local extension office, which specializes in growing plants. If you have any other questions, I will do my best to answer. Hope this helps!

You can also look up foxfarm nutrient schedule, this is probably what you needed originally, haha! google fox farm nutrient schedule

You could, but all the basic nutrients (NPK) are in grow big and tiger bloom, with big bloom providing micro nutes and everything in between. I add cal mag because tomotoes are prone to fugus attacks and the calcium helps. You could add protek which provides silica and prevents wilting, esp with tomotoes wieghing down the plant. Sometimes i also add great white benefical fungi/bacteria when i start the seedlings to help root growth as well.

I don't have a answer. Our sprouts are generally eaten within three days so they don't have a chance to wilt.

Yes, 2 ml a gallon! Don't use no more than 3 ml of both grow and bloom a gallon.

When you don't have any more cold/frost at night. Here in Ct., I put my seedlings in end of April, beginning of May. It's a good head start on what you put in your garden.

We planted them 3 days after receiving.They started looking sad at that time so probably 3 days max!

Yes you can. In the watering settings you can have the zone water in up to 4 times a day by selecting it in the different watering cycles.

I don´t see why not as long as you plant seedlings and don´t intend to direct seed.

As long as the rapid rooter is still moist just plant the seed directly into it. If it has dried out give it a quick soak. 5 minutes should be more than enough. Do NOT prestart the seeds on a paper towel. That is literally a grade three science project, not how any serious gardener/farmer would ever do it. Put them under lights immediately, even though the seeds haven't started yet. That will speed germination and prevent stretching when they do sprout. Leafy greens and herbs 12h/ day, tomatoes/peppers/the other thing 18h/day. NEVER 24h/day. Start with the Fluorescent light 3-4 inches above the rooters and let the seedlings grow up to 1-2 inches. raise the lights to maintain 1-2 inches distance.

Fast grow does come up fast. I had sprouts in three days! Black beauty is much better color though takes a bit longer.

Absolutely. The plant comes with complete care instructions. I planted it in a 24" pot with plain potting soil; no extra fertilizer was added. Within 3 months I have blooms and fruit starting to grow. It did arrive damaged and I had to cut the top 3 branches back, but the bottom branches are doing well. What should have been a 4' plant is now a 3' plant. But, again, thriving indoors.

Hi Janice, and Yes "are these already in bloom". But please dont forget something that I learn about to buy flowers by Internet. You need to know firts, how far is the distributor or the store from your destination, because remember that flowers travel in boxes inside a car or truck and the manipulation, vibration, ect ect ect could damage the bloom. The other important think to know, is the weather, is to important, because in winter, the bloom could be arrive more fresh but the bloom could take more time to open, and in the spring or in a sunny and hot day you can open a box of "%"!%%. I hope my answer has been useful. Hi Janice, and Yes "are these already in bloom". But please dont forget something that I learn about to buy flowers by Internet.

They should grow great there. Like others have said, you will need full sun (at least 6 hours per day,) for bloom.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

It really depens on how ong it will be before you can water the plants again. I use one large for each pot and some of the pots are 12" wide. If I was going for more then 4 days then I use 2 bulbs. We live in NM with little rain.

I planted mine in late spring/early summer. They are growing well, no blooms yet. They are hardy in zones 8A to zone 11 and must have at least 6 hours of sun each day. You may want to contact a nursery in your area and they can tell you when the Bottle Brush should be planted. Good luck

I have a grey thumb, and my stocks are growing AMAZINGLY! Get a small, regular size plastic planter (~1 GAL) that can drain well, and add potting soil. Dip the bottom tip of the stalk in root hormone, stick in soil, pack soil down... water until water exits holes of pot at the bottom. Place in full sun. I live in Texas heat, and I've kept mine outdoors. I watered mine every 2-3 days when I could see that the soil was dry. When you spot new growth (little budding leaves that look like devil horns), your lil fella is producing roots, and you should prepare to transplant to very large container or garden. Look around on the internet for tips. I found Lucky Bamboo Expert on youTube was helpful, and the info on plumeria.org was invaluable. I'm so proud of my 4 guys, and I'm excited to see them mature. I started mine around July, and they have produced small blooms throughout the summer. Go for it!
