| I got myself in trouble a few weeks back, flying by the seat of my pants, using diluted 20-20-20....... Singed some pets.... I own a ppm meter, just forgot I even had it! Soooo........ How many ppm is safe for annuals (Coleus, Imps, Pets) if they're in the growth stage of these Coleus? And how often should I fertilize? That's a quarter in the pic for comparison........

| Honestly 20-20-20 is too strong for anything, has no role at all in any form of gardening IMO. Definitely not anywhere near young seedlings. Common seedling feeding recommendation is 3-1-1 diluted to 1/2 strength (1.5-0.5-0.5) or less (many use 1/4 strength). I don't think you could dilute 20-20-20 to that level with any accuracy. Dave |

| Thanks Dave! Guess I need to invest in the correct fertilizer before I burn something else up! Can you suggest a proper fertilizer for seedlings?
