*** Fertilizer question.....

I just bought a blooming fertilizer from lowes. It is called "Colorburst" 15-30-15. Being a dumbass i find out when i get home that its not the kind that disolves in a gallon of water. You are supposed to mix it with the soil or put around the base of the "small tree or shrub". I used the amount recomended for a 3-4 gallon bucket. Put it around the bottom. The back says it works wonders and it cant disolve too fast. It disolves the same rate no matter how much water you put in. Soooo its kinda late i already put it in i just hope this isnt one of those newbi mistakes.
Any comments?? :confused:

Is it that slow-release fertilizer? I don't know I've never used it, I don't even think I've seen it in the shops but I know pot growers don't normally use it; grow guides advise you to stay away from it.

yep its a time release fert. Someone tell me what i should get instead of this wont work?

Just get one that isn't a slow-release like Miracle-gro 15/30/15 or the one you have in America, that Peters or something.

bro, you really should stick to the hydroponic nutrients available and stay away from stuff you can buy at lowes. i have been using the atami nutrients for a cpl cycles. their new bcuzz hydro nutrients kick ass for me, i have been using their Bcuzz stimulants as well. I see major improvements in my plants over the GH i have been using for years. give it a rip.

yeah that colorburst shit was a waste. I shouldnt have been stoned and bought the wrong thing. All i saw was the huge 15-30-15. Its okay anyway now cause the problem has been resolved. I bought peters 10-50-10 super blossom. I plan on giving that to two plants in maybe 3/4 gallon of water split between both of them once a week. (Already recieved 1 treatment.) Water every 2-3 days also. This is my first grown and my plants are on day 21 in flower today. They are looking so beautiful and turning into busty women! They are deffinatly starting to develop buds i think. Millions of pistols a week ago finally seeing something that resembles buds. I wish i could show you guys i have no camera though. This is my first grow and boyy i've learned so much.
