Fertilizing Seeds & Seedlings In this video I will show you when, what and how I fertilize (feed) my tomato seedlings, bell pepper seeds and seedlings, cucumber seedlings, and bean seedlings and seeds. 1. Fertilizing (feeding) seeds: I usually fertilize (feed) the seeds one time before they germinate with Liquid Organic Alaska Fish Fertilizer. Normally, with their first watering. I mix 1 tea spoon of Liquid Alaska Organic Fish Fertilizer in one gallon of water that i filled up the night before and bottom water them. I fill up the tray with about an inch of the mixture and let my cups with potted seeds sit in it for about 30 minutes or until the soil/seedling starting mix has absorbed enough water (when the top of the soil turns darker color). Then, I take the cups out, so the access water/fertilizer can drain out of them. I empty the tray and put my cups with potted seeds back in it. This applies for all seeds I have experiment with so far - tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, and beans. I have used Liquid Organic Alaska Fish Fertilizer before on seeds and had great success. 2. Fertilizing (feeding) seedlings: I usually start fertilizing my seedlings as soon as they germinate with Liquid Organic Alaska Fish Fertilizer. I mix 1 tea spoon of Liquid Alaska Organic Fish Fertilizer in one gallon of water that i filled up the night before and bottom water them. I fill up the tray with about an inch of the mixture and let my seedlings sit in it for about 30 minutes or until the soil/seedling starting mix has absorbed enough water (when the top of the soil turns darker color). Then, I take the seedlings out, so the access water/fertilizer can drain out of them. I empty the tray and put my seedlings back in it. I fertilize my seedlings with Liquid Alaska Organic Fish Fertilizer every 10 or 12 days and I had great success before. Please see the link to the video down below. In between, I will water them with my homemade banana water. I put the peel of one or two bananas in a pitcher of water and let it sit overnight before watering my seedlings. The potassium helps the development of healthy root system. I also fertilize my seedlings with Epsom salt solution every 15 days. I dissolve 1 tbsp of Epsom salt in one gallon of water and bottom water them. If you find this episode helpful, please click the LIKE button below the video; it would mean a lot to me.
