I water my seedling by filling my sink about 2 to 3 inches deep and set the flat of containers in it for a few minutes to wick up the water and weak fertilizer. I use a water soluble 18-6-12 at about 25% strength. Al

yep.. if the standard dose is 1 teaspoon ... i use 1/4

i use a gallon milk jug.. let the water stand for days ... to make it room temp.. and flop in the 1/4 ... then at use.. pour it into a mister [dollar store quart spray bottle or aco] or a watering can ...

if you are looking for something different.. it might help to tell us what you used.. lol ...

i dont think it matters ... at 1/4 strength .. the formula differences are going to be nil ...

did i give you praying hands???

Yes, Ken - you gave me praying hands. Were you looking for it and forgot you gave it away? Because you're not getting it back.... :0b
