Diluted Fert in Rooting Medium

[JDaaze]

Hello everyone!

I’ve seen a few people mention hydrating rooting medium with a diluted fertilizer right away. Something like a 1/5 to a 1/4 strength. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,
Jon

I do diluted M.G. in all my fig pops.

I’ve started to recently. Haven’t noticed any negative side effects. Figure might as well have it there for when the cutting roots.

I started a 6 cuttings in cups with a very small amount of 10-10-10 a couple of weeks ago. Too soon to tell how that'a going to work out.

Welcome to the forum!

I started doing 1/4 tsp of MiracleGro AP or equivalent and 1/4 tsp of epsom to hydrate the medium. Am I seeing a significant change before adding the diluted fertilizer to the soil, probably not.

Thanks for the replies! Going to start some fig pops here soon with some cuttings I would very much like to root. More so than any others. Didn’t want to fub anything up
