to absorb the required quantity of nutrients. The fertilizers having considerable amount of nitrogen (50 percent) and that carry the preferred amount of nitrate, which is usually labeled and identified as "peat - lit". The N-P-K ratio, mentioned on every bag, must be verified, which ratio analysis the similarity to "1-2-1", which will supply a balanced growth. The fertilizer like "21-5-20" or "20-10-20" is usually applied at the ratio of "200 ppm nitrogen" and this ratio is the basis for most of the pot grown "greenhouse plants". Soluble fertilizers are convenient to apply and give immediate results compared to solid fertilizers or "slow release" gravel-type fertilizers. Make sure that the plant soil is slightly moist before applying the fertilizer. You should never apply the fertilizer solution on to the plants when the soil is dry, which may injure the roots by the chemicals; moisturized soil will further dilute the chemicals.You must apply weaker dose of fertilizer and should never apply stronger solution, which will injure the young and soft roots. A mixture of floramicro, florabloom and floragro are the recommended fertilizer products, which make a wide range of many different nutrients to fulfill the specific requirement of any kind of plants that you grow, and at different stages of the plants life.
