I am too but have been told that they do not last that long after mixed. I am still learning proper watering so I do not want to mix too much. I have not been going through a lot of water in these small pots so I am not sure how much I will need in the 5 gallon bags.Doing that piecemeal in 1 liter increments is more work than I'm willing to do. I'm lazy.
Cool, this is good to know.No need to wait to feed once the nutes are mixed
Even with nutrients? I thought they balanced the water. Ok, I will keep that in my routine.If you have high chlorine in the water you're using, I'd continue to do that.
This is what is going to get me. The conversions. I was trying to keep it simple. 1 liter of water, 1 ml of nutrients, some require 2ml. Also need to start half strength I have been told by several people here so 1lt water, .5 ml nutrients... still pretty easy.With 5 gallons of media, I'd prep 6 liters of water. For 20 gallons of media, I'd prep 25 liters.
Ah, ok, I have the wrong one. Mine is ml to lt. :)The US feed charts are ml of nutrient per gallon of water. I'd start there.
Oh, I did not know that. I was just going to go down the list and add in sequence. The PH stuff is the 1st 3 on the list. I did know to add one at a time and mix before adding the next one.you have to remember to put PH part very last
I have been told to bottom feed. I have been doing that. The little trays do not hold a lot do they do not really get a lot at a time. Which is good because I am afraid of yellowing. I will water the tops a little just to get them dark again, usually when the soil is pulling away from the sides.I water slowly to 10% runoff, only when the pots are very light.
Nice! I am 1/4 Slovakian. the rest is Italian. But born and raised in the US so yes, I am inches and gallons.My pedigree is slovakian
ATM I have a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of Happy Frog and Ocean Forest. I was planning just Ocean Forest when I go into final pots. Maybe mix in the rest of the Happy Frog I have so it is not wasted.@WickedMichelle, what media/soil are you growing in?
Side note... how many bags of soil will 4, 5 gallon pots hold?
Are any of the 5 gallon bags actually 5 gallons?The 38 liter bag of OF is almost 10 gallons of soil, so 2, assuming your "5 gallon" pots actually hold 5 gallons.

I meant bags.. Never used them before, I am use to pots.If it's fabric bags, all bets are off. ;D
