I didn't think there would be an issue, just wanted to double check before I did something stupid lol.
Are you using nutrients?
No, unfortunately I'm not. I don't really know enough about all of that side of growing yet to feel confident in using any sort of nutrients or anything like that.
I did add a couple finger pinches of organic fertilizer when I mixed up the substrate to fill the top of the original planters, but other than that I haven't used anything on them.
What nutrients would you recommend, and for learning purposes, why? :)
I use Fox Farm, with the fox farm schedule. Check it out. There are some soils you can use to grow with water only. Do you PH the water?
They have an actual schedule of what nutrients and fertilizers to use, and when to use them during different stages?! I checked out their website and was curious about their line of nutrients, but there are so many I didn't know where to start! I will definitely take a look at that schedule though!
And no I haven't yet, but getting a pH tester was actually going to be my next purchase, so I could figure that out and use that as a guide to go from there! 😊
