Feeding Young Tomato Plants
I have been using a weak solution of MG to feed young tomato plants over the years, but I forgot to buy some the other day. I don't drive due to disability, and everyone living here is off doing their own things today - so I can't just get in the car to go get some MG plant food.
I do have some Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1. Being that it has 5 Nitrogen sounds like a good thing to me. That feeds the growth of the plant and all I want is for these plants to hurry up and be ready to transplant out in containers sometime around my birthday April 19...depending on the weather. The directions on the bottle calls for 2 Tablespoons of AFF to one gallon of water. I am thinking of only using 1 Tbs. of AFF to a gallon of water. There are three sizes of the plants, 8 of them are ready to be transplanted (Picture 1). 7 have been potted up for two weeks, and 6 have been potted up for 1 week (Picture 2). They are in the baskets to bottom water them. The 8 larger ones need to be watered today. The others could wait a day, but I have a surgeons appointment tomorrow, so I'm going to water them today. What do you all think? Use the AFF full strength, half strength, or not at all? I have never used AFF at this stage of growth. |
