Hello all! First time grower and doing so outdoors. I have a plant in the veg stage and want to start feeding it somewhat regularly. I've heard Miracle-Gro is a no go due to salt buildup and ammonia-esque flavors.. but what about Sta-Green? Ratios are: 24-8-16 for NPK. I am aiming for foliage so seems legit. Did one full strength watering with this mix (1Tbsp/gal)before I read somewhere on Reddit one should dilute it to about 1/4 of the manufacturer's instructions and work up from there as needed. My soil is a mix of happy frog, perlite, worm castings and a touch of sunshine #4 I had sitting around if that makes a difference. If Sta-Green is also a no go... would you please explain why and what a cost effective option might be to take its place. Thank you!
