Denise, no problem. I have a similar study going with the home brew and another fertilizer. I use Elenor's everytime I spray and always have. I used it in the water as a fert but didn't see much change. The home brew calls for 4 tbs. bloom booster but I don't add it.
12 oz. beer (NOT LITE)
1 cup epsom salts
1/2 cut ammonia (household)
2 cups water
1/2 molasses (I use black strap)
4 tbs bloom booster
you use 1-2 tbs/ gallon of WARM water.
I love what it has done for my Hoya and my AV's have not stopped blooming since I first began to use it. My H. pottsii did NOTHING for a year and now the new stems are growing over and inch a day and sometimes more. I made my daughter 'witness' the growth by marking the placement of the stem then measuring the next day. She is now a believer :~) -HN
