So I read that you can make root tabs out of osmocote. Sadly I cant find it here in Canada. Is there an alternative fert that is similar to osmocote like miracle grow or something.
I believe the problem with possible ammonia spikes in the Osmocote plus is when the water soluble nitrogen is from ammonia not nitrates. That information would be on the package. Plus IMO you can have problems with alot of things if too much is used.
Been using Osmocote indoor outdoor formula since Late May ... no issues. The ice cube method's the way to get a few into the substrate in a specific area. My swords love them.
I have an amazon sword, I can't wait to try this on them. Not trying to hi jack the thread... But does anyone have an opinion on if it would be overkill to do some of these Osmocote tabs (maybe start out with only 3-4 pellets instead of 6?) in addition to my seachem root tabs?
