How often do you feed your own plants (I know what it says on the label) but did anyone experiment with better results?

Last year I fed my tomatoes per the instructions on the package. I had 7 different varieties and all produced nicely.

We use more frequently when the plant is putting on leaves so the stems gain strength. Works great for later when the tomato starts to hang. After the tomato is on, the leaves will begin to appear to dry out when they need more food(especially around the edges of the leaves). Usually for us it's once a week during fruit production.

I'm using Flourish (twice a week) and Flourish Excel (daily) with great results. My plants have never looked/grown better. If you're not satisfied with Flourish Excel alone then try adding other options until you get the results you want.

The instructions are on the bottle, it all depends what your growing medium is. If its dirt its about once a week or a little longer. Never use the recommended strength, always start with half strength then work your way up different plants have different needs. If the plant is too green or growing too fast "long skinny stems" then cut back and if its too bad flush your plant with a lot of water then start with a lower strength.

I confess I found Bayer's instructions on single plant vs bedding plant use mind-boggling. I simply put about an oz to oz & half in the bottom of a gallon milk jug, add lukewarm water, shake vigorously, and fill to top, slowly as it nears the top as it foams. I then use on all my plants, followed by some more clear water, and the foliage is lush and the flowering is maximum. I use a little oftener than 6 weeks between applications.

The directions on the box says to only feed the plant during blooming season. I am still using the ice cubes. It looks like the plant is getting ready to bud so I am going to start feeding it. Sparingly!

I use half of the recommended use and only once a day. I am seeing great regrowth results. This is a budget tactic for me. This method lasts me 2 to 3 months from 1 bottle. AWSOME !!!

That's a small load. I have mine on the Eheim auto-feeder and feed a decent load two double feeds per day. For your load, I would say one time per day would be fine on the smallest setting (about a small pinch of food).

I use Dyna-Gro every time I water my plants whether they are flowering or not. Mix 1/4 tsp. in a gal. of water and the plants are fed a low dose on a continuous basis. I've been successful using this method.

I have used the miracle grow liquid and it works wonderfully. Make sure though its a purely fluid plant food, some have chunks of special fertilizer in them, though those usually have their own special dispenser. I haven't had any issue with it so far using most plant foods :)

If you water twice a day, alternate the position of the 4 trays each time you water, and make sure the holes are not stopped up each time you wash, I don't know what else to tell you. Mine has no problems growing and I usually have an edible crop in 4 days.

It depends upon your environment. I wouldn't do it everyday maybe...twice a week? One or two spritz?

Indoor? Cannabis? Outdoor or indoor Flowers? I use it indoors and I normally put in 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and shake it up real well, real well to dissolve. Depending on your soil, you may want to do it every week or every couple weeks. If your nutrients you use already carry trace metal elements, I would say a 1/4 teaspoon with each watering.

I used 3 teaspoons full to 1 gallon of water. I water my 9 plants once a week. I did it for four weeks and it did work. We haven't seen any tiny flies in a while now. The plants were infested by a new plant I bought at the super market. I should have kept it apart from the others until I knew it was clean but I didn't. But the natrol WDG worked.

That is precisely how I use it. I get approximately a month of use. Then I go to individual pots. Need to keep an eye on the roots towards the end. They will grow together making it harder to remove plants....fyi

I don't use it on my plants, I use it as a food supplement. It is food grade.

Yes, if you want the best results it needs a lot of sun but that means you have to water it more too. It is hot in FL, a lot of sun = a lot of watering. You should also feed it (Tomato or veggie food) every 7-14 days for better results. I took off the top for easier watering purposes. The plastic top is more for cosmetics. Buy one to see how you like it, if you like it buy additional Topsy.

i am not really sure maybe about 2-3 weeks if you do 2 a day. i split it up so i used half the amount that way i got more servings
