Hello. Quick question. I haven't added any fertilizer in 21 days since I planted and should I fertilize every month or 2 weeks. When I planted I added alfalfa pellets, 2-2-2 daddy Pete's and hay on top. Should I go ahead in 9 days to add epson salt,2-2-2 fertilizer? Not doing fish emulsion or fish based fertilizers because of neighbors cat.

I use a fertigation system with driplines. I fertilize every two weeks with the normal ratio. In between I have it set to low. I use standard miracle grow for the first 2ish months, then switch it up to bloom for a month, then fruiting. I also supplement in calcium and Epsom salt.

What type of calcium do you use?

Whatever liquid is cheap on Amazon. Or Cal Mag to get them both.

My potting mix has half cup of gypsum so they're good on calcium. I think I'll give them alfalfa tea when it's 30 days with Epsom salt. Do you think it would be overkill if I add the 2-2-2 daddy Pete's as well?

2-2-2 is no where near overkill for anything.

So Its fine to give them epsoma plant tone once a month and then every two weeks I can give them a diluted tea until they flower?
