My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

fertilizer question.

9 years ago

I bought a FLF 10 days ago. I've watered it once. I've got some new growth happening and wondering if I should start fertilizing? I have MG 24-8-16, read it was a good choice for the FLF, should I just follow the directions on the back (1/2 tsp per gallon of water)? Thanks!

    Not sure exactly when to start, but when you do make sure you flush the soil thoroughly before fertilizing.
