The N-P-K ratio of 1-1-1 is too low. I recommend using a fertilizer with higher ratios. My hard tap water probably has more chemicals. 😁 The N-P-K ratio is the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the fertilizer. Nitrogen levels of 8% to 12% would be better. Note that nitrogen levels in some miracle gro products are double that! Osmocote timed release fertilizer granules are balanced at 14-14-14. The SuperThrive Plant Vitamins has a negligible ratio of 0.5-0-0 because it’s a vitamin supplement and not fertilizer. 🪴🍀

The fertilizer isn’t the worst it shouldn’t hurt your plants or anything. 1 pump for gallon seems reasonable I wouldn’t go anything above that to be safe also during the winter months cut fertilizing in half.

When you use up this fertilizer or decide to get a new one I recommend miracle grow. Their fertilizer has worked well for me and it’s pretty cheap and easy to find.

Hope this helps feel free to ask me if you have any more questions!!!
