Balanced Fertiliser

Post by Bretts »

Do any members know of a 10:10:10 fert or a low nitrogen fertiliser say 3:10:10
Dyna Grow have some intresting ratios, does anyone know of a supplier. Maybe a hydroponics store whould be the best place to go?
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Just found another Manutec bloom booster that is 6.19 - 14.64 - 16.80
That might be the one you have.
That sounds very close to what I would like to try next year.
I am going to reduce Nitrogen levels while keeping the other two up to see if that is any help against leaf burn.

MONO POTASSIUM PHOSHATE - SOL. From Manutec
0 - 23 - 28
I think from memory that these Manutec products are fairly expensive?

Mine doesnt have a great deal of nitro.

Just go in and browse your local garden center. You know what each element does, look for the fruit veg and flowers focused ferts.
