I finally got around to reading the WHOLE thread and decided I am going to do this. I purchased some Osmocote + yesterday and will hopefully try it, using the ice cube method, in a tank I'm setting up this weekend , thanks again Mebbid!
Question: How much Osmocote + should I add per ice cube compartment?
I would say maybe 1/8 of a teaspoon would be a good amount. Should give you an amount comparable to a size 00 gel capsule or just a hair more.

Great thread, thanks Mebbid! I'm going shopping for some supplies tomorrow to give these a try.
Nope, ive never seen it. Could you post a pic and give some details about your tank?Has anyone experienced issues with DIY root tabs under plants if you put too much? Specifically weird colorations and stems dying?

In an airtight container. a silica packet wouldnt be a bad idea.So I just got 100 00 capsules today, and was wondering how does everyone store the finished capsules.

Ok thanks, for the time being I placed two paper towels under the capsuls. Get a little bit of moisture at the very least.

It's not a problem for most people, but some live in super humid areas so it can help. In Michigan I havent had any issues related to humidity with my tabs and I don't use the packets.
I must have crap gel capsules. I find even with silica drying aid and dry hands when making them up that they can still go sticky/deform. I try to use them within 24hrs now.
Thanks! Im glad i could help
I seriously doubt iron would remedy your problem as it seems to be an all around lack of nutrients.
That being said, i dont see a reason not to use the clay so why not use both? Im not sure who or where it was, but someone added the osmocote ferts directly to clay since they couldnt get gel caps.
