What are your thoughts on what she gave me?
Sounds like a good plan and a good product.
Water soluble products when correctly used are a good choice.

I also use Miracle Grow on my Basjoos with great results as well as the granulars I mentioned before.

I use a rooting stimulater/ hormone on my transplants also..... the stuff works.
Once your plants get more mature you may fertilize more often.

The real key is how well you prepared the area you planted them in.
If you really worked the soil to loosen it up your basjoos will reward you with lots of pups.
