Noob Needs A Fertilizing Schedule Guide Line, Just to Name One Thing.

My 1st grow and not trying to break records or win a contest I have to keep it simple.

So I'm using stuff from Lowe's, Jungle Grow soil and Miracle Grow Organic liquid concentrate. I'll add some vermiculite, and have a bag of Wal-Mart manure I may blend in @ 10% per 3 gallon holes.

3 gallon holes are all I can do guys and the plants will have to make due from there. Its in GA clay. Hard up top but about a foot down it gets moist.
I will take a maddock and bust it up around the hole as deep as I can sink it in.

My seedlings are still in solo cups about 2" tall with the single jagged leaves.

I think I'll put them in the ground when they have 2 or three nodes? You tel me?
The MG instructions say 1/2 cap full to 2 gallons. So I guess I'll start with 1/2 a cap to 5 gallons?
Can I get a recommended schedule and dosage for what I'm using please?

Thanks!

Until the plants establish I would go with 1/4 - 1/2 strength of the recommended dose and work your way up after you see how they react to the nutrients. That vermiculite may retain more moisture than you want to deal with. Perhaps swap that out for some perlite for better aeration if you are surrounded by clay.

Throw that MG away and find something else. It makes pretty plants, but it'll taste bad in the end. Your better off not feeding it at all.
