Any chance of a spike?

I fertilize year round with the same concentration. During the spring and summer, when plants grow faster, I also have to water more often. More water = more fertilizer. In the fall when growth slows down for most of my plants I still use the same concentration of fertilizer, but watering is reduced with maybe 1/2. They still get nutrients this way but because I water less often, they get less fertilizer.

I use Pokon (5-6-7) and use about 1/10 of advised strenght each watering. In the spring I switched to Pokon for green plants (can't recall composition). I was was shocked to see there is no Mg in this brand of fertilizer and now I ad Epsom salt every now and then.

I do the same with my phals and dens fert is always used its just my watering amounts that I change.

but I always fert anything while it is actively growing a spike even if its just by misting leaves with fert solution.
