Mix roots organic microbe charge and bloom in same container or separate?

[radrichie61]

Well that pretty much states it, can I mix roots organic microbe charge and bloom in same container or should it be separate? Is one better than the other. Have these ladies below and have been doing 5 gal mother earth 2-4-4 and just got bloom tea from them. If I did all 3 in 5 gallons, that’s a lot.

So thoughts? One tea on Sunday, the other on Thursday? Probably what sounds best to me, but what about the Mother Earth. Since terp bloom is 3-7-4, should I even use the Mother Earth?

Thanks in advance and have a great Friday..

Yes. By saying "...in same container..." I am guessing that you mean as in the same watering can sort of thing.

Not sure about what you are getting at. Doing all 3 as in with '...5 gallons of water & fertilizer mixed in...'. When I first read that I thought you were talking about each plant going into a 5 gallon pot. But, you are directly in the ground.

I had used Fox Farms nutrients and fertilizers for a couple of years. I have switched over to the Roots Organic products because it would work with the way I wanted to garden. However, I am growing in pots of soil and not directly in the ground.

As questions come up write them down and keep the note off to the side. Then when you get some time call Aurora Innovations. I do it and it really helps get my ideas from just thinking about them to doing them in real life successfully. Plus, every now and then the representative drops some really great tips. All that reminds me that I wanted to call them about something related to your question that I have been thinking about for several weeks.

If it was my grow I would sprinkle the Terp Tea Bloom around the drip line for the plant, probably 5 teaspoons worth. That way it gets watered in when I water or if it rains. Each time it gets water the Terp Tea powder will dissolve a little bit. In between watering sessions the soil moisture is slowly dissolving the powder from underneath. Eventually it is gone, dissolved into the soil and now time for another dose. It might take a week, or 10 days, or occasionally two weeks. Since I am growing in pots it works well and is a lot less trouble and bother as compared to mixing up powders & water on some sort of schedule.

I do not use the Microbe Charge so not sure if I would sprinkle it on the soil or mix with water. There are microbes already available in the Terp Tea Bloom and I have been happy with that up to now.

BTW, you had asked about the "stretch" on your plants several days ago. It, the stretch, shows up in those photos. Plants looking good.
