Seedling fertizler

how old or tall-- should my plants be, to start adding seedling fertilizer. just above ground a few days, look good. thanks ray

Welcome @ray3, depends, what kind of soil are you using?

Coco with perlite mixed in

Coco and perlite has zero nutes, some coco growers say start feeding at 10 days, some say start immediately with very low doses. I thunk either way would be fine.

can I use diatomaceous earth to lower the ph in my soil sprinkle on top or water in I am using coco with perlite my ph is 7.5 thanks ray

You need some ph up and ph down to adjust your water/nute mix, along with a digital ph meter.

thanks ordered today ray

ordered some happy frog soil, is it ok to mix it with coco and perlite for indoor plants

I like to add extra perlite to happy frog (a 8 or 10 quart bag of perlite to 2 cu ft of happy frog), no experience with coco.

thanks I have not used happy frog yet. I think I will just use it to re pot my plants in, the coco just seams to be soggy and hold to much water even when mixed with perlite thanks again RAY

Keep in mind that you won’t need fertilizers for ~4 weeks after repotting in Happy Frog.
