What would you dose to fertilize HC and other plants grown emersed in inert and fertilizer free Shultz aquatic plant soil? I know I am going to soak it in a solution of CSM+B to set the particles with micros but as far as macros, I have KNO3, KH2PO4, MgSO4, K2SO4 and for micros I have CSM+B.

I was considering using tank water but now it is evident that the plants I have are ripping through the nitrates so I have to make up a seperate doseing schedule.
 
Is there still some circulating water in this setup? If so, you can dose that water just like you would aquarium water. If not, then you'll have to make sure you distribute the liquid fertilizer mixture evenly around the emersed plants. You might run into fertilizer burn issues if you're not careful putting concentrated fertilizers on the part of the plant not in the water.
