Thanks Helen for the info and link.
I have another bloom starting, which is just as exciting as the first. I have been lazy in ordering fertilizer. I'm trying an organic route to see what happens. I live on an old dairy farm. Under our barn is 50 year old cow poop, dried and hard. I put some in a bucket and added water. Instant tea! I figured the worse that could happen would be green water. Of course if I added too much, dead plant. So far I'm not seeing any effects at all. I did buy some chealated iron but have yet to get it into the water too. Today is the day though!!!
