rundown of my fertilizer regime
I get asked alot what to fertilize the plants I sell to keep compact and healthy.
Here it goes:
I use ro water with about 20-50ppm.
seedling stock for seedling cuttings or seedling air layers......to promot rooting I keep nitrogen to potassium ratio a 1:1
.4ec
1/32tsp calmag
1/64tsp mother A
1/64tsp motherB
1/16 tsp vitaminB powder(twice a week)
1/16 humic acid powder
1/16 tsp fulvic acid powder
1/16 tsp kelp powder(rinse if gets on leaves!!!)
1/4 tsp amino acid (tech grade Lglycine,L glutama)
1/16 tsp enzyme powder
.5 ml Roots Excellerator
1/64 tsp yucca root powder(keeps mineral and organics in suspension).
This is good as it has Aminos for creating calcium ion channels to increase calcium uptake by 1000’s of times!!!!!!!!(Dutch method of fungicide).
Also has the 5:2 ration of humic acid to kelp which help plant produce a plant protection agen ADP? Or something.
the bit of fulvic acid powder increases nutrient uptake ,so can use less salts....should cut strength by about 20-30 percent when using fulvic acid...LESS SALT MORE GORGEOUS WATER!!!!
Early Root starter formula:
Add 1/16tsp mono ammonium phosphate to the seedling formula of .4 ec( low nitrogen &extra phosphate)
Very important to build roots first for 2-3 weeks with very little nitrogen like .4 ec original npk before adding mono ammonium phosphate.
I understand the high ammoniacle nitrogen in the mono ammonium phosphate is spectacular for this very first stage..something about making reaction directly in the first roots!!!
Regular plants(no propogation in mind):
.6-1.2ec throughout veg(gradual)
1/16 tsp calmag
1/8-1/14 tsp Grow A
1/8-1/4 tsp Grow B
1/32tsp potassium powder
1/16 vitamin B powder(twice a week)
1/16 tsp humic acid powder
1/16tsp fulvic acid powder
1/16tsp kelp powder
1/14 tsp amino
1/16 tsp enzyme powder
.5 ml Roots Excellurator
1/64 tsp yucca root powder
very important when pushing plants with intense light ,co2 or heavy bloom to add the extra potassium...plants depleat it very very quickly and will stunt with a Hidden hunger!!!!
Foliar feeding
Once a week on everything I use a 5:2 ratio of fulvic acid powder /kelp powder on leaves with 1/64 tsp yucca root powder as a surfectant to spread water on to leaf better.An atomizing spray is better on needle trees so it sticks heavily like dew.NO MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK ON LEAVES,ROOTS CAN BE EVERY WATERING THOUGH.Just rinse leaves off when drenching your roots every day.KELP WILL DEFINATELY BURN LEAVES IF FOLIAR FED MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK.
Kelp stops auxin signal in meristem with it’s cytokonins.This makes the plant use its survival mechinism of lateral bud burst(thinks it broke a branch tip).
This happens without pinching terminal.(SHORT STOCKY GROWTH SECRET FOR SURE ON MOST PLANTS).I get lateral buds bursting on 1” branches!!!
Seedlings start backbudding when 2 inches tall!!!!
even every two weeks is good to get this effect.This fokiar treatment is good for mother to have many cut sites on incredibly small plants.This also is good treatment for pre-cuttings and air-layering propogation as the fulvic acid is a low molecular weight humic substance that carries growth promoting elements of the kelp directly into the cell ion in as little as 4 hours!!!!!
Kelp increases photosynthesis anphotosynthesis is the best way for a tree to produce the natural elements the plant needs.This is their natural geneticway of making food.
Nitrogen is a luxury and makes large cells with thin cell walls and the fast growth depletes all the photsynthetic energy that the leaves make...to fast.
Natural photosynthesis makes small cells with thick cel wall( especially with increased calcium from L glycine & L glutamate amino acids)plants are much stronger and pest and disease risistant.
Trees (in my opinion) love this.
Adding co2 puts this photosynthesis process on steroids incresing photosynthesis by 50% with 1000 ppm of co2 fertilization.
. Def interested in some zelkova or elm when you have them!
