can you alternate with this product and other liquid ferts for foliage and flowering blooms as well?? Is this only for acid loving plants?

I alternated it with organic fertilizer and it seemed to work well. I don't think it's for acid loving plants. I am sold on it, though. It really made a difference in my vegetable garden last year.

This type of product isn't a chemical fertilizer and should not be used like one. It builds the soil, adds organic matter in a form the plants can use, and provided nutrients for healthy plants. It can be used on most plants--I can't really think of anything that wouldn't benefit from it. I'm using it mainly on vegetables. The container indicates it can be used on flowers also. Hope this helps!

hello, i have just start last year but all my plants have died, need more info on all before i try again, will need to build a shack to warm up and maintain temperature for plants through the seasons, and which lights to use, set pots, hoses, and water ph. all this has to be learned first. hope this helps. as for floragro i never really got the results because my plants froze, i used a tds meter with a ph tester to get the correct amount of fertilizer to water. look on internet and and find tds uses. hope this helps.

On the website it says that if you dump your reservoir once a week then you can top it off with just plain water in between. The table on the bottle is not for any photoperiod plants so please check their website as they do have a feeding schedule for photoperiod plants, such as medical marijuana. They will not answer any questions regarding marijuana so never say or use any term referring to marijuana. So far this may be my favorite hydro fertilizer I have used, it's easy to use, helps stabilize PH and has made my plants grow much faster, not to mention how great the root growth is.

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

Use this fertilizer by itself...it is completely balanced for flowering plants.

I only use it in the soil ! I would not use anything other then Seaweed/kelp on foliage !

I've not used the Schultz all purpose, but i have blended the bloom plus with my normal nutrients with sucess. I just make sure to watch for salt build up and nutrient burn.

Its ok for low light plants like anubias or java ferns. I also got some duckweed that thrives. But no co2 needed for those plants :)

Its honestly hard to tell whether or not you'll get an algae bloom. I did get some algae for the first few weeks but by reducing my light per day, its under control now. If your not over feeding and using any fertilizers I'm sure it would be fine. Can you explain what you mean by "an extended mount"?

Greetings,Only knowing the hydroponic basics, I can see the incorporation of the LECA into such system. I use LECA in the water trays of my African Violets and Begonias, and in the pots of my Orchids very succesfully indoors. My home is kept at a low humidity from the standard, and the LECA has worked remarkably well keeping constant humidity control around the plant. I have noticed a remarkable positive improvement in a month of use. Hope my answer is helpful to you.

sure it works in both. my advice: read LOTS of reviews, when in doubt--less IS more. FF can run hot so I would always use it at less strength and let the plants tell you how they're doing.

I use it for every single plant I have. It has worked so well with my orchids that I started using it on everything. My winter blooming orchids are all still blooming and they are still growing flower spikes. This is the only fertilizer I use now. It's very gentle and does not burn anything.

I premixed the solution if I plant on watering my plants. Like I take my water can which is 5 gallons and add 5 oz of liquid seaweed. Don't worry if you give your plant to much liquid seaweed on accident. Didn't seem to hurt my plants or make them grow any faster.

You do not absolutely NEED anything else but a liquid fertilizer is helpful. You can pick up a basic weekly use fertilizer (I use flourish by Seachem) or look into EI dosing (more work, better results). Depending on your plants you may want to look into root tabs (small fertilizer tablet in the substrate under the plant), CO2, and better lighting systems.Research into your plants will determine if you need to upgrade lighting and use CO2.All told, I do well with eco-complete and the weekly dose of Flourish. I do just as well in my sand substrate though. I prefer eco-complete for size and color. I have not found anything comparable in those factors near the price of eco-complete.

Veg is excellent! With flowering, the light coverage is excellent but you have to buy 3k color bulbs and I'm not so sure on its ability for light to penetrate down into canopy. To make t5 flower successful you need to scrog, supercrop or get many nodes on canopy and you'd get amazing colas. It was worth the buy for me as its clean, barley any heat and light coverage was great for bushy and low plants.

We have used this product on both, but for growing only. When buds appeared on my african violets, I used the bloom product from Dyna-Gro.

Hi Tim ~We have mostly regular plants and herbs, which seem to love this light, but my husband says he doesn't really think this is the right light for flowering plants. He thinks Dan's recommendation is the correct one. Good luck!
