You need to use a complete fertilizer. I use 4-18-38 as directed.

Aloha Mark,
I hope your season is going well.
Just a few quick question about the 4-18-38.
Do you recycle your nutrients ?
Do you flush with plain water ?
How often should say one container get watered, using a coco blend in a 15gal tote.
Thanks & Aloha,
Tom
No, I want just a tiny amount to leech out, not enough to reuse.

Watering depends on sun and heat as well as the size of the plant. On hot days I water no less than three times a day. Use the mix every time you water.

I do not flush at all, no need has ever arose to do so.


It has been a blockbuster year. I wish I knew how to post pics from my phone.

Anyway, the stuff is great
Take care,
Mark
