Default Re: greenhouse storage

Unless it's been very warm for a protracted period of time and the nanners are actively growing, I don't feed. A whole winter can go by without feeding if it's pretty cold. If they're not growing, they're not going to need the ferts anyway - what is left in the soil is about all they'll use if at all. I also slow down fertilizing in the Fall when it gets cooler as well. I don't start until I see active growth and it's been reliably warm at least in the greenhouse.

Be well,
Mike

How often does one need or should fertilize during the winter when they are all but dormant in the greenhouse. I would anticipate trying to keep the temp around 50-60 degrees during the night if that sounds good. Any other suggestions from the forum?
