i usually go 1/4 strength of recommended amount if i use fertilizer. i want slow, but steady growth. i get the slow growth because my plants are in a cool basement under lights. i only fertilize if the plants look like they need it, and not immediately after repotting to give root growth a chance to catch up. i will a teaspoon of dry fish powder and powdered kelp in a gallon wine jug, fill with water, and shake. use when everything is dissolved. don't over do it with fertilizer. you don't want tall spindly plants.
very little odor when i use that strength, plus the plants are in the basement.
