Yeah I really wasn't interested in being a champion for MG just wanted to show off the plants. Don't care to argue with anyone about MG, it works for me, has for over 30 years. If you don't like it don't use it. I generally stick w/1 tsp/gal total each watering, plus liquid cal-mag. During veg 1 tsp of mg regular, once I switch to flower still 1 tsp but half reg and half orchid mix. A few watering ago I fed a full tablespoon to see if I'd get a little burn and saw no adverse effect at all, but went right back to 1 tsp.
I definitely don't follow conventional wisdom. I'll start feeding seedlings 1/4 strength by 3rd or 4th watering. I plant in a mix of FFOF, and MG Organic w/time release ferts, both of which are too hot for young plants according to many, and they say don't add ANY nutes with these for several weeks, yet I fertilize every watering. According to conventional wisdom I should be burning these plants up with fertilizer. And no I don't flush either.
But they are perfect green, never a deficiency, never a burn. Go figure, I must be doing something wrong.![Razz :-P :-P](/styles/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
Someone on RIU said he upped the nutes slowly until he got just a tiny burn than dialed it back a notch. Not sure that isn't a decent approach to the fert issue.
