If you are in a subtropical zone, 20-5-30 (or similar ratios such as 8-2-12) with minor- and micro-nutrients is ideal. If you are in tropical or near tropical zones with abundant nitrogen in the environment, then 15-10-30 is a better choice.
BANANA FUEL DOSAGES DURING ACTIVE GROWTH SEASONS:
Very Young Plants, TC's: 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water every watering.
Young Plant in 2 gallon pot: 2 tablespoons per month.
Plant (not juvenile) in 10 to 20 gallon pot: 1/4 cup per month.
Plant in ground with significant root space: 3/4 cup per month.
Hydroponics @ 150 ppm K: 1 Tbs per 6.5 gallons of water. |
So on these dosages would I do that amount per gallon of water? Like if I'm fertilizing say a plant in the ground, the 3/4 cup would I add this to a gallon or 5 gallons or whatever amount of water I'm using? Or is there a dilution ratio? I ordered the banana fuel, so that should be here shortly. With these that are new in the ground am I going to use the 3/4 cup per month even though they were just planted (they are big corms!) I really appreciate your time and input on this info Richard.
