YOu are absolutely right, jmp. Because it is a soil less mix, it is very important to feed them.
Nitrogen Phosphorus and Potassium (K) are the main nutrients you get in a fertilizer and then come all the trace elements. Pro Mix is a good one with trace elements .........

I tried the MG AV soil with perlite and it took my plants forever to adjust.........now I am changing them back to my original mix........All the fertilizer in it burned them so badly as baby plants........

A good friend of mine gave me her Wrangler's Pink Patches...........she couldn't make it bloom but admitted she had never done anything but take it home from my house.......she had never fertilized her.
