I don't use "High nitrogen" per-se. I use a mix calculated at 125ppm Nitrogen because that is what Ray says. I use it every single watering. This means if the plant is on the daily cycle it gets 125ppm daily. If it is on the 2-3 times per week, then it gets it then. I flush the pot or mount by total submersion. I only know one thing - it works. And marvelously.

I'm using 100ppm because I'm too chicken to try 125. Even at 100ppm I'm seeing some pretty remarkable growth. Roots going everywhere and 4 new leads on one of my catts.

Trust me (and Ray) - push it to 125ppm. It's OK. Actually he says up to 150ppm.

LOL Ross, I'm easing into the 125ppm. You have to remember that my plants have gone from not being fed at all to 100ppm every week. I don't want to shock them too badly! Seriously though I'll try and work up the courage to bump it up to 125ppm. Who knows I may get one of my old timers to actually bloom!
