Mebbid thanks for the information. I have about one more set of root tabs to use in my tank then I am defiantly switching to the DIY ones.

Ok so my swords are yellowing, so it seems they've exhausted the last batch of tabs I used which were the Seachem brand.
My PWC is scheduled for tomorrow so I'll do some trimming and plan on using some DIY tabs to see what results I get.
From research it seems that a popular method was using size 00 gel caps with Osmocote Plus.
Here's my dilemma:
1. Can't find Osmocote Plus because its discontinued.
2. Health food store only had size 0 gel caps
Therefore I'm gonna give this a go with Osmocote Smart Release Flower & Vegetable and the size 0 caps.

Analysis of the ferts
Any feedback would be great guys/gals.
When I made mine I used osmocote indoor/outdoor formula and had great results. I made up a ton of tabs from the osmocote I had, but once I run out of them I plan on making root tabs using dynomite fertilizer. I don't see the harm in using size 0, I would think if anything maybe just replace them a little sooner than normal.
Yeah I would have used the Dynamite but I would have had to order it. Didn't have time to wait for the mail lol
I just made 150 tabs with a 3-1 ratio of dynamite and osmocote tabs. I cant wait to try them out. It took less then an hour to do so.
