Been having trouble with my plants, not growing that well and getting unhealthy/browning leaves. Anyway, chatting to sols about a week ago and he suggested osmocote because slow releasing ferts are good in soil mixes.

Just wondering which ferts people are using for outdoor. I've got some Yates Thrive, All Purpose Soluble with a NPK of 27-5.5-9 (I've heard a ratio of at least 2-1-1 is best for veg).

I've heard 1-2-2 is the best ratio for flowering, but the only thing close to that at Bunnings so a slow release non-soluble fert which is applied every 6 weeks. I don't really think that would suffice? Your thoughts peoples??
