I have a question about FERTILIZING. Normally I fertilize with every watering and it works out great and it seems really good for the plants. In order to save $$$, I have started to water everything thoroughly with just H2O and then left them drain, and THEN WATER WITH THE FERTILIZER MIX I USE. IN DOING THAT, IF THE PLANTS ARE WATERED FIRST, AND THEN FERTILIZED AFTER I WATER THEM, IS THAT KEEPING THEM FROM BEING FULLY FERTILIZED? I DO POUR FERTILIZER INTO THE PLANT UNTIL IT STARTS DRAINING OUT THE BOTTOM SO IT SEEMS TO BE PLENTY, BUT I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS DOING THAT.  
Oops! I just realized that I was speaking in capitals so forgive the error. To make a long story short, can I water first and then fertilize after? Will my plants suffer because I am trying to save $$$?  
TIA. 😊💚🪴

You could go every other water with fertilizer, or half the strength of fertilizer to save $$$, this is what I do and I’m seeing lots of new growth on my plants! I’ve used this method ever since I started using fertilizer.

I love this stuff, I got it on tik tok shop from a plant enthusiast for less than $10. You use one capful per gallon of water.

WOW! That is so much cheaper than what I pay for my Plant Juice from El Dirt. I have plenty of this stuff on hand since I just re-ordered, but will check Purived on Amazon and see if they carry it for next time I run out of my stuff.  
Thanks, a’mil for your post! Regards. 😊💚🪴
