Do you apply Kelpak, Quantum and K-lite in the same watering solution, or you prefer to keep Kelpak and Quantum separated?
Thx.

When I still had my greenhouse, K-Lite was automatically metered into my RO water, so I put Kelpak in a hose-end sprayer the first watering of a calendar month, applying both at once, then the second watering of a month, I did the same with the probiotic.
However, I did that only for convenience, as the hose-end sprayer only held enough Kelpak for 64 gallons of solution, or 32 gallons of probiotics.
Now that I have a much smaller collection, and that sprayer has sufficient capacity to water the whole collection while they’re out on my deck in the summer, I feed weekly using only K-Lite, and apply the two supplements together a week later. In winter, when they’re indoors, I water using a 4-gallon, battery-powered sprayer, and I mix all three together one week a month, followed by weekly, fertilizer-only treatments.
Here’s the bottom line - they are synergistic. Sure, we focus on the three components being beneficial to the plant, but the nitrogen in the fertilizer also stimulates growth and reproduction in the microbes, and the Kelpak ingredients feed them as well (kelp extracts are part of the feed stock when producing the products in the first place). By using all three together - or as close to that as you can conveniently do so - you are maximizing their overall benefits.
