FEEDING AND WATERING

Always use room temperature water

Never fertilize a dry plant - water it well and feed an hour later

In hot weather conditions - feed only every third time you water (90 degrees F or higher) and reduce Nitrogen feed by a third in hydroponic systems

Let water stand overnight or stir it to drive off excess chlorine

For plants in soil or sunshine mix:
- feed every other time you water during normal growing conditions
- add dolomite lime (one Tablespoon per gallon of soil) as a top-dressing to soil and work it into soil after 2 months of growth

For plants in hydroponics:
- watch PH and food strength. It really helps!
- flush with straight water in hot weather
