Question 1

I have had this in mygarage since 2016  do you think I can still use it?

Accepted Answer

There is nothing to settle out in Foliage-Pro - it should be a clear, dark green liquid.  If you see any solids, that means some chemicals have precipitated out and recombined into other compounds.  And that means you've lost nutrients for the plants and the product is deficient in unknown ways.  It's not possible to re-dissolve the precipitates by shaking or any other way.  Because chemistry.

Exposure to temps below 45F will cause precipitation so don't store where that can happen.  When I receive a container of Foliage-Pro, I inspect for precipitates and will return the product as defective if any found.  If the fertilizer liquid is clear, I then dilute to 50% for storage - this will help prevent accidental precipitation.  And I only buy late spring to early fall so the product doesn't end up on a truck in freezing weather.

HTH - I found all this stuff out the hard way.  But I've used Foliage-Pro for years and love it - great for high value crops.  Just don't let it get cold.

Question 2

Which is better for calamondin oranges/meyers lemons - this or Jobe's 09226 Organic Fruit & Citrus Gran? Jobe's NPK ratio is 3-5-5 & it's powder. Thx!

Accepted Answer

The Citrus fertilizer blend is better for citrus, it has higher ratio of PK to N, which is better for developing flowers and fruit; and also has additional sulfur which helps the acidity of the soil, which citrus prefers. I use the Jobes for my lemons and it works great. If your tree still has yellowing leaves it could be soil ph, the sulfur takes time to change that, and a foliar spray can help. The dyna grow is good for leafy plants, or plants before they flower.

Question 3

Would this benefit canabis plants?

Accepted Answer

This is not enough nutrients to promote a thriving cannabis plant.

Question 4

Can this be diluted per directions and apply directly to leaves?

Accepted Answer

You can dilute it to many different concentrations (all on directions) and water the plant with it. I dont know why you would apply it directly to the leaves. This is used to aid in adding nutrients to the water not shine the leaves or something.
