Thinking about trying out a new top dress recipe. Would like some feed back on what I've came up with so far.

Veg per 5 gallon pot
7 tbsp Dr. Earth Home Grown. (4-6-3)
3 tbsp Dr. Earth Flower Girl. (3-9-4)
1 tbsp Dr. Earth Kelp Meal. (1-.5-2)
2 tsp. Dr. Earth Bat Guano. (7-3-1)
Feed every 21 days.

Flower per 5 gallon pot
6 tbsp Dr. Earth Flower Girl. (3-9-4)
3 tbsp Dr. Earth Home Grown. (4-6-3)
2 tsp. Seabird Guano. (0-11-0)
1 tsp Langbeinite. (0-0-22)

Sure… No need to formulate a top dressing for each stage of growth just kinda toss it all in there. All your amendments are slow release; it may be preferable to put everything in the mix before there are plants growing in it. You can get a big tote and put everything in at once if you wanted to. Only thing I see missing is compost; don’t skimp on worm castings. It is the thing that drives every thing else after all. Make your mix like 1/3 compost.

Make it simple -
Home Grown ( Veg )
Flower Girl ( bloom )

Kelp meal can be an interval top dress amendment.
The rest is overkill.

It is unnecessary to add so much to a single plant. It would take an average of 2 weeks for those products to breakdown for availability that plant will use. It would be Too easy to overfeed using of all that.

BTW a 5 gallon amount of soil alone would feed a plant for weeks then 3 to 5 tablespoons would suffice.
