I really like the MSU fertilizer as it has a good dose of calcium/mag (for cellular growth and health). I even converted Ted Green to it!!! Another fertilizer I use is chicken manure, especially on those living outside, which I add to the top of the pot about 4 times a year. Those pots also have nutricote in them...so they get all the nutrients. The chicken manure just waters IN with watering...and even tho' I do apply it in the greenhouse, the sharp smell dissipates very quickly...and the plants love it. My growing season only slows down a smidge in the winter...so I do continue the chicken manure all winter applying around now and then again in late January when the days start getting longer.
