About a level teaspoon full for a ten litre pot?

I used to use a small handful for twenty litre pot. It takes a week or so to become available though, so don't put it ion too late into flower.

Tbh i stopped using it because I thought it made the weed taste funny - organic stuff is much nicer, and harder to overdose. smile.gif

I really think that using any straight chemical nutrient will give you iffy tasting weed, unless you flush it so much you might as well not have bothered. Stick it on your fruit trees, or be sparing with it on your weed. I use a sugar beet derived granular organic potash fertiliser and it works very well, or you could use wood ash.

Vitax organic rose food, at 5,2.5,8.5 + Mg is good, especially with extra composted wood ash (Just burn wood, add the ashes to a covered composter) or Growing success soft fruit fertiliser (4.8.16, prob. doesn't need extra K)
