Wondering if anyone has any updates or new opinions on granular fertilizers for their containers/EarthTainers/SWCs.

I don't see a lot of attractive products available locally, and there doesn't seem to be much selection online either. The stuff I do see typically doesn't have micros. Honestly the best locally available granular fert, based on the label, would be Miracle Gro Shake n Feed, which is a 3-1-2 ratio and has all of the micros.

Also considering going purely liquid, with Foliage Pro until fruiting stage, then switching to TTF. Not sure what the downside to this would be versus a fertilizer strip.

Thoughts appreciated!
