Garden fundamentals on youtube. Robert Pavlis. He also has great books. He would pick apart this video. Plants also make their food you aren't feeding them, you are supplying them with minerals that become a solution that the plant will use for its metabolism. Sugars the plant makes "photo" light "synthesis" combining, gets used to help the plant grow and it does that the same fundamental way as we do we take in oxygen and it oxidizes the sugar and produces enegry required for growth. Robert also does garden myths like synthetic vs organic fertilizer.

@@Maczust63 Wow, thank you for the tip and the info, I appreciate it! I love learning something new each day :)

Look up content on how to grow weed, its the same for garden plants and they dumb that shit down into super simple terms. In a jist, all plants need 3 major elements to grow and make fruit. N-P-K Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium Crash course on successful feeding plan i use for everything Fertilizer - i buy cheap salt fertilizer from a brand called “general hydroponics” I use the 2 part. The maxi bloom and maxi grow. You only use one at a time, maxi-grow when its growing, bloom when its making flowers and fruiting I also use a cal-mag, a calcium/magnesium supplement, which you can find almost anywhere To fend off nutrient burn and atill Allow the plant to take in the nutrients naturally as well as lots of other benifits, i use organic microbes to keep lots of organic life in the soil so everything stays regulated naturally. I use a product called “Recharge” from a company called “RealGrowers”. Its a little pricy but not as bad as some stuff like “mammoth-p” I mix that in when i feed the fertilizer, and alternate those feeds with compost tea, which adds even more microorganisms My compost tea recipe is very simple but very effective 3 gallons dechlorinated water (i just let a bucket sot out for a day or 2) , 1 heaping 8 oz cup of worm castings, 1/4 cup of blackstrap molasses. Aerate for at least 24 hours before feeding to plants

@@ChrissyChrissyChrissy333how have you done and why the 333?

Thanks Jacque

You can buy malted barley lol.

@@billyyank5807 True, but I can also malt it myself. And I get 50 lbs for $10. How much does malted barley cost you?

Awesome idea thanks for sharing

Awesome!

Wtf lol. You don't need that lol.

That’s what I was thinking, help us out, please!

Looks like organic Agrothrive

True I should have worded it more carefully, they aren't salt like take salts just chemically salts leading to rapis uptake as they become soluble in water. It's true you can dilute the synthetics but I would still prefer the organic fertilizers which support the soil life as well.

Thank you. Also, 3-3-3 stands for the ratio (and mg) of N-P-K, so "salts" containing nitrogen, phosphorus and kalium in this proportion and mg (per liter if diluted?).

It definitely depends on the seed some can take 3 weeks, like parsley, most should be within a week or 2. If you are trying to germinate peppers or tomatoes they need heat to germinate quickly so it could be that you need a heat mat

@@jacquesinthegarden I have a small space heater in the room with the grow lamps (within 3ft of the seedlings) and my peppers have finally started growing, but some of the others (like my pollinator plants - milkweed, echinacea, etc are still super tiny). Helps to know that some can take longer tho. I’ll try to be patient! 😊 thanks Jacques!

No don't. You will kill those seedlings. I would wait till they have a few of the original leaves before you plant them in the soil. I would create a hole with no fertilizer soil a few inches in the spot you are planning to bury them in it so hopefully not to burn the seedlings. I personally do not fertilize the soil till the plant gets bigger.

@@gofigure4920 thanks!

What do you mean by fertilizer?

​@@gofigure4920 organic things don't burn your plants. Chemical fertilizers will.

@@billyyank5807 like promix that has it in the putting mix already.

Same question here!

Also, what organic fertilizer do you use/recommend?

Agrothrive

20-30 minutes

Feed your soil not your plants. Depends on soil nutrient content and how large your containers are.

I *think* it's always best to water and fertilize in the mornings, as then they don't sit wet in their pots all night. that said I just started growing plants so I may have no idea what I'm talking about haha

From what I've learned never fertilize extremely dry plants. What I do is check the soil by pushing my finger into the soil, dry means I water first, let it sit for a time so the plant can draw the water into it's roots. Then it's safe to fertilize. If you are watering by filling the bottom tray what time of day won't matter, if you fertilize or water from above you should only do early enough in the day for any liquid on the leaves has time to dry first.

Watering In the evening can lead to mold/powder mildew. Do it early in the day. Depends on soil moisture if you water twice or not.

Agrothrive

Stop focusing on the word organic. It's just a marketing thing to charge more money lol.

@@billyyank5807 that’s what I figured but I didn’t know if it were a real thing!
