Using Grow Dots is designed to simplify your nutrient feeding process, allowing you to mix them into your growing medium at the beginning and let the nutrients release over time. The key is to follow a specific transplanting strategy.
Simple Steps for Using Grow Dots
Based on recommendations for optimal use, the process is straightforward:
- Start in a Small Container: Begin your plant's life in a small initial container, such as a Solo cup or similar starter pot.
- Prepare Your Finishing Container: Get your final, larger container ready for the plant's full growth cycle.
- Mix in Grow Dots: When you are ready to pot your plant into the finishing container, mix the appropriate amount of Grow Dots directly into the soil or growing medium within this final pot.
- Perform a Single Transplant: Only transplant or up-pot ONE TIME when using Grow Dots. This means you should go from your Solo cup, directly to your finishing container.
- Let it Grow: Once transplanted into the final container with the Grow Dots mixed in, let it go from there. The Grow Dots are designed to provide nutrients throughout the plant's lifecycle in that final container.
Important Considerations
To get the best results with Grow Dots, it's crucial to understand their intended use:
- Limit Transplanting: The system works best with a single transplant directly into the final container.
- Avoid Multiple Up-Pottings: We don't recommend using Grow Dots if you do multiple up-pottings in your grow cycle. This suggests the nutrient release profile is optimized for a single, long-term phase in the final container.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure the Grow Dots are evenly distributed within the growing medium of your final pot when mixing them in.
By adhering to the method of starting in a small container and transplanting just one time directly into the final pot where the Grow Dots are mixed in, you can effectively use this product to nourish your plants throughout their cycle.
