Default Re: Overfertilizing Pix

pitangadiego,

You said your routine was 1-1.5lbs of 16-16-16 per mat twice per month. Since I assume your mats are relatively well established at this point, what would you use for relatively new/small plantings or containerized plants? Do you have any rule of thumb for fertilizer per foot of growth?

How much would you feed something that is about 4' for instance? My guess would be .5lbs per plant twice per month (about half as much as your lower range) and half that much again if it is in a container (5g or so). Does that sound right?
